    The plan is indeed to slew the headhunt over to the running line this coming week. I understand it’s not quite that easy as the two lines aren’t at the same height but nothing a bit of jacking and packing can’t sort out.

    And all that controversy about FS starting from Grosmont. I hate to be conspiratorial, but was such an effort made to start from the northern end of the line because the bridge situation was known about, and if it was deemed unsafe before the start of FS’s trains the money already banked in ticket sales, essential for the future of the line, could be claimed against insurance?

    Was the upcoming bridge work mentioned much at the AGM?
    A few pages back there was an allusion, from an insider, about operating a shorter railway in the future. Was he referring to this?

    That scenario sounds like consequent loss to me. Good luck with getting an insurance to cough up for that.

    That suggestion sounds both conspiratorial and devious. It don't credit the SMT with sufficient intelligence to consider i a possibility. More to the point, past experience with trains running only from Pickering-Grosmont makes me wonder if they'll even have enough common sense to open the Goathland cafe this time.......
