North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion

A more interesting question would be what is leaving to make way for it? After all, the NYMR operates a "one in/one out policy" doesn't it, and it hardly needs another diesel shunter, even more so if it needs any work doing on it.

 

Platform staff tend to be from an older generation who want to be involved but are not up to anything strenuous, such as carrying a backpack spray. It’s good to know that there is no shortage of them and I’m sure that you’ll agree that for many, sitting around, drinking tea and chatting to likeminded people is one of the great pleasures to be had from our hobby. Long may it continue. I do agree with you, though, that the state of the weed-strewn track is not a good advert for the railway and something needs to be done about it.
As for 926, it has been out and about quite bit recently, including today, and is rostered for two round trips tomorrow.

 

Interesting rumour that was plinthed outside a steel works.

 

The Hull and Barnsley Coach that was at Hull college has returned recently so don't know what left in its place

 

Nothing would have had to, that coach was a long-time resident on the railway. The "one in, one out" rule only applies to things that the management really doesn't want to see there, it doesn't apply if the item in question happens to be something they do want It will be interest to see if this arrival really is the O3 being suggested, what state it is in, and why they might want it (and who has bought it, since that seems to be an important factor too)
