    All steam hauled trains are followed through Newtondale to summit by a fire watch team in a road vehicle with equipment to put out any fire that starts before it becomes significant. Fire outside this part of the line are historically quite rare.
    Looking at a photo pubished on Facebook yesterday, the platforms at Grosmont appeared to be wet and I don't think it was because they were being cleaned. How much rain has fallen, I can't say.

    Some rain but not really enough to soak in. Just a few blustery showers.

    Regular readers will know that I am very critical of the NYMR's senior management, but I would like to stress that it is not a blanket criticism. I think the MPD staff under Piglet (and also the C & W, who he's also responsible for) and the PWay Dept. are also struggling with facing high levels of use on a demanding railway and pitiful budgets. As far as I can tell they are not being supported by the office=bound staff generating the levels of business needed.

    So, as the previous poster said, "all in all, a bit of a mess" - although I think things are a lot more worse than that!

    Right, but even a little bit is better than none.
