    Would the catch point not be closed and the loop point a set to correspond through that platform until the train had come to a stand? You have protect Grosmont yard by lifting the track. If you’re happy to arrive into the other platform and...

    I am expecting to be told why this is impossible, but I would look at only topping and tailing on the Levisham Goathland section reducing the diesel mileage massively. The same diesel would swap between trains at Levisham. I would also examine on...

    I've been reading this thread with great interest, especially the recent discussions regarding the Bridge 42 issues and operational possibilities for the coming year. First off, I'm no civil engineer so can't comment on the bridge itself, and I...

    No doubt an issue to be clarified! I must admit, I'm not sure of the basis of the "whole line" thing (but accept that that appears to be what the railway was initially advised). If you took an equivalent scenario in a country house, if the house...

    The challenge I think is that the heritage railway movement has by and large focussed on building and operating railways. The choice has usually been to build an extension rather than put things under cover. Often the buildings that are put up...

    As a taxpayer, absolutely not. Otherwise they'd have people falling over themselves to offer them perhaps hundreds of vintage vehicles which ultimately we would all have to pay for storing indefinitely for the rest of our lives. Taking this...

    I doubt anyone can answer this at the moment, but with my old project management hat on, would it feasible to prop it and then repair whist propped to avoid further disruption in future?

    I don’t think a method of long term repair has been decided upon, as yet, but I could be wrong. The aim has got to be to run trains this year, I would have thought. My thoughts are that it would be sensible to sacrifice the 2026 Santa season and...

    Because a repair might take longer and prevent trains running whilst it is undertaken. Therefore the choice might be, prop it up and run trains for most of the season, or not run trains until 2027 (on that section of line anyway)

    But what is the point of turning the can into razor blades now?
