Another TSR (Temporary Speed Restriction) was addressed today with a combined team effort of Leeming Bar and Leyburn Infrastructure gangs to change 8 rails, shuffle a few more and fishplate oil them. Also some large gaps on the other (North Rail) were shuffled and a new section cut and fitted to reduce the large gaps at Fishplate joints. This shows a replacement rail fitted on the lower left corner and the old rails in the 4 foot. (01/07/2017)
