    http://www.nymr.co.uk/2016/07/travel-update-2072016/

    Due to locomotive availability issues over the past couple of days and extending into tomorrow, we’ve had to run a mainly diesel service and cancel a couple of services as we’re now into the Gold timetable which requires five available locomotives to run comfortably. We seem to have been having all the bad luck so far this summer, and all credit goes to the dedicated team at the MPD/Loco sheds who have almost blown a gasket themselves trying to keep everything running!

    The following advertised services for 20/07/2016 have been cancelled:-

    • 11.00 ex Pickering
    • 12.30 ex Grosmont
    • 14.00 ex Pickering
    • 15.40 ex Grosmont
    For information, we thought we’d give you a quick update…

    • 76079 – the “Pocket Rocket” has been a star so far, and is scheduled to be running tomorrow.
    • 45428 – “Eric Treacy” is in washout and should be back on Thursday
    • 6046 – Our visiting Yank failed on Thursday with blown piston packing, also needs work on gauge frames. Hope to have her out topped and tailed with a diesel soon.
    • 63395 – Left today for Shildon for the “Shed Bash”. Unfortunate timing but can’t be helped.
    • 44806 – Coming to the end of a major overhaul. Showing a hot wheel-bearing during running-in; work ongoing to determine cause and fix.
    • 55007 – “Pinza” lost power at Levisham yesterday and is being checked over; back in service once problem identified and fixed.
    • 37264 – running fine now troublesome heating boiler disconnected for further work. Lack of in-coach heating not currently a problem(!)
    • 26038 – “Tom Clift” running fine at the moment.
    • D7628 – “Sybilla” is her usual reliable self and is running fine at the moment.

    Due to the ongoing issues with locomotives mentioned in yesterday’s post, we regret that some services will be cancelled again tomorrow, 21st July 2016. To ensure that most of our pre-booked services, including Pullman Dining and Group Bookings are limited by the disruption, tomorrow’s cancelled services are:

    1100 Pickering to Grosmont
    1330 Grosmont to Pickering
    1500 Pickering to Grosmont
    1540 Grosmont to Pickering

    Passengers attempting to get to Pickering on the 1245 from Whitby, should either take the 1400 from Whitby or change on to that service when it arrives at Grosmont for the 1430 departure.

    We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, but rest assured that we are doing everything within our power to rectify the situation as soon as possible.

    Sorry to be pedantic. I believe the correct number of trains may run, but the motive power on some of those trains may not be as expected. Unless you expect 25/37 class etc on NYMR these days. But OK they are getting there. 76079 must need a washout soon?

    The NYMR Gold timetable does specifically include one diesel diagram as well as the 4 steam, as there are 3 steam 2 diesel out today most of the turns expected to be steam should be steam. 76079 still has another week or so I think, having last been out at the beginning of this month. Hopefully by that time 6046 and 80136 will be out, and maybe even 61264 will be ready to take over the Whitby section!

    Thank you to everyone for posting the updates, in the end never got to travel, went on the Tuesday and the weather was so glorious we stayed around the harbour. Ended up watching both the steam services, the 2pm and 6pm as we tried to leave at 4pm to drive somewhere else in Whitby and the whole town was gridlocked! Video below, photos to follow...

    Selfish I know, but could those who organise such things enable the 26 and the 37 to be out next week while I'm staying in Pickering...



    ...at times when my wife & daughter will be willing to let me play trains.

    What has happened to 6046? Seems to have been sidelined for 2-3 weeks now. Good to see44806 and 80136 on the brink of entering traffic and I'm sure 61264 will not be far behind - insurance exam on Thursday, and it'll probably start running in soon after. That'll be the lot for this year, but 30926, 30825, 80135 and 29 will hopefully join the mix next year.

    Perhaps a holiday in Norfolk or Cumbria would have been a better idea? OK, no 26s but Norfolk would have 68s as a bonus.
