It would be nice to see a concluding blog entry on the 2019-2020 Winter work - the last one is from March 10th before work was completed on Bridge 27 at Goathland. I appreciate there was much happening shortly after that date, but could someone spare an hour or so, now that trains are running again, just to 'round things off' please?
OK here goes with my disjointed ramblings.
Br 27 at Goathland replacement of bridge and renewal of track over the bridge.
Br 8 Trout Farm at Pickering, Urgent replacement of bridge and redesign of track alignment (300mm plus track lift) in connetion with Carriage stable works.
Newtondale Halt Removal of wet beds within the platform length involving excavation of clay contamination.
Along the Railway Tamping using contract Tampers on approx 5 sites.
Ballast tipping along the railway. Both for Renewal sites and Maintenance.
Uplift of scrap bogies and other materials from the Long Siding at Pickering in conjunction with Carriage Stable works.
S+T work relocating main trough route from West to East side between Pickering and Newbridge.
Drainage and Ditching works near Levisham on hold.
These are what I know of there are more works ongoing or remaining on hold for the moment.
All PW works have been carried out by 2 members of staff and 1 Trackwalking volunteer.
Between them they have managed to complete a fantastic amount of work while complying with unforeseen restrictions.
Well Done Martyn, Darren and Mike.
