    If you took the rods off and gave it a shove from summit, by the time it got to Grosmont, you might be right.;) Having said that, it would probably derail on Darnholme curve, so it might not.

    I am intrigued that the NYMR management seem to think that they can submit their plans to the Environment Agency and have the works complete within a six week window.The Severn Valley Railaway when re-instating the Mor Brook bridge collapse foumd that the time taken to get the necessary permissions, from the EA, and to carrry out the mandated wildlife surveys took far longer than the actual re-construction works. In fact, it took seven months frrom the bridge collapse to the line's re-opening. I can't help feeling that the NYMR are being over-optimistic with their assertion of an end of March re-opening date.

    We were discussing the need for discussions with the EA a good few pages back. I hope the Railway had beaten us to it and entered into discussions before we did.
