    Forget Snape slow road away from railway, use A 169 for Goathland and Grosmont, expect to pay for parking. Take first left sign for Goathland, then drive back up over the bridge to A 169, next left takes you to Grosmont. As well as the station shop there is mainly second hand model shop in the loco shed access by foot through the tunnel.

    It makes sense for the Summer season as this is rapidly becoming the year of the diesel with the various hot periods, but I'd suspect they are talking to engine owners about the Gala. You never know if the weather carries on the way it has so far there may be some engine owners trying to make up some usage fees due to the amount of non-running days this year. It might open up some interesting options for the railway.

    It's shaping up to be like 1976.
    I was at the diesel gala and thoroughly enjoyed it. The railcar is excellent and runs well.

    The kindness and helpfulness of the staff was a stand out feature.
