NYMR Autumn 2019 Gala

No, you drive down to the cottages in Esk Valley and walk the trail to Goathland. You need to walk pass the wooden river bridge and then eventually you'll be able to see the bridge high up on your left. It's about a 10/12 minute hike. There's also limited parking at the cottages.

 

If you can manage the walk, it would be better to park at Grosmont Station, it adds maybe 10 minutes walk but the Parking at Esk Valley isn't great, and it can be full even on a normal day. That or park at Beckhole and walk from the other direction. Which is not that much farther than Esk Valley.

 

Photos from the NYMR- NELPG gala footage will be on later

 

I do like that second one

I went and mistaked the Q6 2238 number when i misread the working timetable for the S160,s number 2253 its a good job im staying at my uncle trevors house over the w,end up at glaisdale railway station so hopefully ile cop the S160 either on saturday or sunday

 

Very busy today with most trains full to standing. Ran generally as planned with no significant delays.

A challenging day with the weather yesterday, but all very atmospheric. The King looked and sounded great but unfortunately its leaking steam on both sides.

 

an impressive gala on Friday with so many engines moving around all day. A big thank you to all involved with a special well done for the shiny 'new' 9F

 

Chaoctic scenes at Pickering for the 11.03 departure. There was a 100 yard queue for tickets and both platforms were swamped!
Pre booking definitely the right move !

 

Where we you viewing from - I hadn't noticed any issues with the blue engine.
Use of the drain cocks on the two GW engines did seem excessive on leaving Grosmont however. (Fri 11.24 working)
Weather was fine til early afternoon but flash flooding in the local area by 3.30

 

I think even with online booking, you still have to queue to exchange for train tickets?

 

The 13:37 goods train from Grosmont to Goathland has just departed with USA 2-8-0 2253 piloted by 9F 92134 !! <BJ>
