    The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has announced that £400,000 has been raised towards the funds needed to stabilise and permanently repair its historic Bridge 42.

    The £400,000 represents more than 50% of the target set by a fundraising appeal launched earlier this year to raise the estimated £800,000 required to repair Bridge 42.

    Interesting wording. The last update I saw (Moorsline) said that the target had been increased to £950k. Bearing in mind where we now are in the year it does beg the question there the gap is going to be funded from if this work is going to be done this Winter.

    The choice of words there is important. "Stabilise and permanently repair" if that amount is net of expenditure on propping the bridge, then there is a long way to go still and it's not as impressive as it sounds.
    I really hope that is not the case and the figure quoted is what is held in the bank for repair purposes.
