North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion

Looks like a great photography platform for departure shots

 

All details of the propping would have to be approved by the Environment Agency because of interference and disturbance of the watercourse.
The design would have to be checked/approved/accepted to ensure that it will not collapse under the loads being carried, even if the river is in a flood condition during the time it is in place, I would guess 12 months!
A qualified structural engineers job.

 

I'm not sure the EA would have anything to do with it - the watercourse there is not an EA "main river" as far as I can see so the LLFA would be the local council. Unless there's some other reason I've probably missed?

How odd. That seems to be a scaffolding tower up next to the top of the bridge - but the propping diagrams show all the temporary structure for that as being underneath the bridge. I wonder what this scaffolding tower is for?

Surely, to put propping underneath the bridge then you need scaffolding platforms either side of the bridge in order to build the propping.

 

Could be for safe access, looks like the start of a scaffold stairway with uppermost landing in place with ladder access.

 

Indeed it is, there is a Facebook page, North Yorkshire weather updates, they've just posted a picture taken this afternoon.

 

I've just received a n e-mail from the NYMR Member ship secretary clearly no-one has told him that the secret is out!

We are equally delighted to announce that Moors Line has been shortlisted for the Internal Communications and Engagement Awards 2026 in the category 'Best Internal Communications from the Transport and Logistics Sector"! These awards celebrate the most incisive thinking, creative flair and innovate approaches that are redefining how organisations connect with people - and we're incredibly proud to be recognised among such inspiring work.

Someone should perhaps tell him that the only bit of creative thinking being recognised is the ability to write a cheque and thereby have a boozy evening out in London at the railway's expense. It's rather shabby that he has so little lack of self respect that he deigned to publicise it.

 

I always thought internal communications was to.paid employees, seems stretching it a bit.

Is said membership secretary part of the railway's salaried staff likely to be in the loop regarding the bought and paid for awards scam, or are they a volunteer being hoodwinked by the Park Street Polit Bureau? If the latter then I don't think they should be blamed.
