that's great news, didn't see that happening tbh

I live locally, but I would never think of visiting wthout checking first as opening has been sporadic for years. It used to be open every weekend when I was a teenager in the 1980's and new cafe / shop was built and a large public carpark. There was also the extension to Wrekenton incinerator...

which facebook page please?

I love the way the new electric loco is hauling a load of coal !

Also the Great Yarmouth Scenic Railway has some colour light signals, whichs makes it even more real railwayish and adds to your argument.

and do you mean just the regularly used / accessible / painted / fenced main length of platforms or those interesting derelict end bits on many stations which would often add considerably to the length?

While mainline operators are panicking, I believe services on the Eden Valley Railway at Warcop, Cumbria will be operating as normal on Sunday (last chance to ride this year)

Bridlington also has 4 tracks for a bit to the South, which I believe is just about to be rationalised

I did the LNER TYne Valley Autumn diversions in 2 recent years 2017 and 2018 I think and just simply bought a day return from Newcastle to Carlisle, the trains were certainly in the timetable and stopped / doors opened etc, has something changed? Both years though it was mainly HST's with a...

I think it would make great sense to bring back the other island platform so making 4 platforms. Not sure I agree with what someone said about the old concourse dating from the 1970's - this is the best bit, light and airy although some tacky 'improvements' have been made. What needs to go is...

Diesel for me but could put up with a kettle if there was an interesting route and destination

electrified as well, surprised they didn't make a thing of that although the crossing has a gap in the 3rd rail

On the Tyne and Wear Metro there's an underground junction near Manors station where the non-passenger line from Jesmond comes in

Hmm I see what you mean, the platforms and track are still there on Google Maps although I was recently looking at the Bridlington station photos available on flickr and one showed the excursion platforms but had this text: "Platform 7 was still in use in 2000, but 8 had become redundant by...

Cumbrian Coast around Whitehaven

But hadn't the 125 group painted all their coaches to match the prototype? So surely they will all have to repainted to match a production 'loco' (43) if they get one.

OK thanks for the heads-up I was hoping to them nice semaphores on little gantries moving there with the busy weekends.

Does anyone have any idea whether Bardon Mill signalbox will be switched-in during diversion weekends now that the ordinary service has doubled in frequency?

Can someone confirm whether the diversions will run on some Sundays as mentioned further up the thread as conflicting posts say Saturdays only thanks NB it may be that there is also no service Newcastle-Berwick-Edinburgh on Sundays but there are just bus replacements rather than proper diversions.

Wow - that's a fabulous detailed list!
