Getting back to the Railway proper. The crane for the bridge work arrived and was set up at Grosmont yesterday. Also, all the scaffolding is in place. In view of the settled weather, here's hoping they can crack on without any interruptions.

That’s X-rated stuff. If she was a horse she’d have been put out of her misery long since. Remind me just how much people paying to be part of this? I suppose at least for those in the Mk2s their ears are spared the agony.
