Due to the current lockdown only work considered to be essential has been continuing. However work has been able to continue at Leeming Bar to allow us to have the restored Station House ready for when we are able to run trains again. Also other work needed to ensure that trains will be able to run safely. The Vegetation team have also been very busy during the month clearing vegetation.
This month we have:-
1. Work being carried out in the restored Leeming Bar Station House.
2. Work is progressing on a new toilet block at Leeming Bar with the foundations now having been laid.
3. Refurbished doors have been replaced on our Mk2f coach
4. An office is being built in our maintenance workshop at Leeming Bar.
5. The tack relay at Harmby has been completed after being delayed in January due to the heavy snow.
6. A few miscellaneous photos along the line.
7. The Vegetation Team in action.

Following a year of lockdowns and local restrictions that have prevented the Wensleydale Railway from running we are addressing the work required to bring the railway and its rolling stock back up to a good condition ready for when we are allowed to operate again. One such priority is to build a small office in our maintenance shed at Leeming Bar to house a workstation and printer for our maintenance records. The pictures show the planned location for the office. (17/02/2021)

Another from the archives. It's not often I get on the other side of the lens so maybe twice is enough. This is me after a particularly red hot day with the veg gang in July 2019. And I'm as goosed as I look. (24/07/2019)
