The NYMR is on a knife edge with regard to motive power at the moment. I'm told that 37688 has failed and it looks like 44806 is, apparently, the sole 'Whitby' loco and will have to shuttle back and forth between Grosmont and Whitby. That...

Probably one of the reasons that Chapelon's work was abandoned by the senior management and the French railways adopted electrification, presumably paid for by the US of A.

I think the last part of @cksteam comment was well made though. You have a situation like Bridge 42 that has a massive impact on your operation and removes your key attraction. OK - what can you do? The answer surely has to be "how can we make...
