Hi, On the front page of the Weardale Gazette seems to give the news of our reopening kinda a mixed review. Mainly it seems because most (if not all) of the...
Gordon, I haven't had the benefit of seeing the Gazette's article but I really don't see how they (or you) can think the make-up of the new board is "basically...

Gordon, I have looked at the Trust website and it states operations will start tomorrow Wednesday. It looks a bit expensive though for a trip on a diesel. It...
I agree. £7 for a return is too much, at present. When the Wenseydale began in 2003 it was only £8 return Leeming - Leyburn. Folk are much more likely to pay...
The running costs are a little high, but I am sure the guys at the railway have done their home work. It sounds like the railway will serve both the community...
Gordon's right. It is definitely overpriced. I'm count myself as an enthusiast but I shall wait to bring the family until there is some more interesting...
