Hi David Thanks for the information. I wonder if the railway will ever reach Bishop Auckland? Just a thought, but I suspect it could be a while! I think...
Hi Simon, On balance, I think the failing embankment will indeed be repaired and the railway will run back into Bishop Auckland. However, this will not be for...

Gordon, I'm 99.9999999999999% certain it's the class 25. I will post other days shortly for the 25 and or the 73. The plan is to have them running over easter...
I'm very happy with the 'Southern Crap'! You know, I recently told an enthusiast from the 60s/70s in Darlington there was an Electro-Diesel up Weardale. I...
Hi Time for me to get back on there and contribute I think! To: WeardaleRailwaySupporters@yahoogroups.com From: david.shand@... Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2008...
Rumour has it ECT are close to going bust does anyone have anything further, hence the lack of investment in Weardale. I got this from talking to someone at...
Yes Gordon, I'm also hearing very disturbing messages from "people in high places". I have been informed that rails have been stolen between Wolsingham and...
As an enthusiasts we all have our own tastes but it is the general public that needs to attend to keep the railway on a sound financial footing. Therefore the...
Dont get me wrong Gordon, I am pleased to support both steam and diesel, I had a pleasant run out on the Wensleydale last August with 80105, and also enjoyed a...
I'd be happy if all the 141's were in Iran, they might be cheap but as a passenger by god you know it. Diesel loco enthusiasts are a fickle bunch - 'oooh I've...
Gerry ... Actually, I am not all that interested in what ECT have to say. But I would be interested to hear your comments. If the report that ECT is in ...
Folks ... where is this report? I have been searching around on the net and so far have found nothing. Even found myself in Wikipedia and looking up ECT. The...
Robert The only report I have seen was the note posted to this forum on 10/02 by Gordon Hepple. But the content of this was semi-confirmed by subsequent notes...
Myself and the family made it to Wolsingham for the 1430. Our parts of the north east seemed grey and that included Wolsingham. We rode the train to Stanhope...
Glad you enjoyed it Robert. I was stuck at work so didn't get up today. It's plannedto have the 25 out next Sunday for Mothers day with the griddle car inuse...

One of the questions being asked on the Northern Echo site is, "The Weardale's had loads of money thrown at it, but still manages to struggle. .................
Chaps ECT had four main railway operations - (1) ECT mainline (a rail charter business), (2) Rail Management Services (RMS - an industrial railway contractor),...
Robert, I think the ECT issues were mentioned on here a couple of weeks ago. It sounds like the 'Mainline Freight' arm of the company has bourne the brunt of...
Hi All, On webmail -so this will be brief. As Steve Sears said - Weardale is not the problem- there are implications however for WR in the ECT upset. Will...
This all raises many issues and I think lack of information is not going to help. Weardale Railway CIC presently owns the trackbed from BA to Eastgate plus the...
Gerry, thanks for your update. I would guess one of the most critical questions must be: Will ECT/ Can ECT categorically confirm that the Easter services will ...
Guys I gather that the railway magazines are all planning to break this as a big story in their next editions. So, that will let us all know what is happening....
