North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion

Yes I did wonder how that had been built "under the radar" of those on here.

 

The Yorkshire post article is paywalled, so not obvious what they are saying beyond the headline, but I found a précis on another forum that suggested one of the alleged offences was to construct a “turntable for trains without permission” - which left me thinking “how the hell do you do that unnoticed?” (And more seriously - I suspect there must be more than one side to what is being reported).

It is now on the Daily Mail. An interesting read!

With a photo of Goathland representing Levisham, the current Moors Line has reports from the station groups excluding Levisham.

 

A painful read given that they refer to it as ‘Lewisham’, a ‘train depot’ and refer to ‘altering the line without permission’ like it’s a brio train set.

 

Another reason not to read the mail.
Without jumping up and banging my drum again, come on HRA what are we going to to do this time?
Does it involve removing fingers from rectums?

 

There wouldn't be there's no-one left there, afaik! A once very productive group of volunteers banished by the permanent staff. I just wonder who is next.

 

Appears to be charter using the P3 and half a dozen wagons operating out of Grosmont this morning. Fair amount of snow over the Moors and roads closed earlier.

 

Yesterdays charter with the 9F

 

Just looked in on Goathland webcam (snow check) and noticed portable heaters/thermal blanket? over the point blades. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I imagine it was flipping Baltic. What sort of explanation are you looking for?

Simon

 

They are plastic oil containers cut in half and placed over the point blades to prevent overnight snow blocking the blades. Simples.

Are they the route code for North Pole Junction?

”These pre-booked, seat allocatedservices, depart from Pickering Station every day from Thursday 28 December 2023 to Sunday 7 January 2024 and traverse the North York Moors National Park to Whitby. Here you will have just over an hour and a half (2h & 30m on Sundays) to spend in the town before the steam hauled service returns from Whitby back to Pickering.”

Book on line, £45 adult return and Annual Pass valid.

 

Shame there isn't a train running the opposite way for those folk holidaying in Whitby over Xmas/New Year, who fancy a trip out over the moors, or for those that like to partake in a bit of hiking/rambling. Used to enjoy the rail trail one way and a steam train ride back up the hill to Goathland at that time of year.

 

Next meeting next Wednesday.
