926 'Repton' was working on the NYMR yesterday (Tues 18th), I saw it arrive at Grosmont from Whitby about 1030 and it did the 1035 to Pickering

I would imagine it would revert back to the original alignment but it would make sense to put a crossover in there..

Yes I've noticed on their website that it states that now thanks

Apparently it runs that way because otherwise it wouldn't be able to take on water at Goathland as the loco is too long. The loco would have to run past the stop sign to do so. Travelled behind it today and asked the driver on arrival at Goathland

Saw this planning notice at Grosmont station today dated 25th March. Says comments are required within 21 days with extension for bank holidays. I take it that no work can start on it until after that date which would make it highly unlikely that works would be complete by 25th April

There was a volunteer recruitment day on at Pickering stn today (Sat) which probably explains why the platforms were occupied. There were Pullman carriages on platform 1 and a rake of ordinary carriages on 2 headed by a class 31

Just to the western side of the station and left of Station Road is the remains of what I think was the old platform 1. The platform is well overgrown. It was obviously severed from the road bridge at this point as there are light industrial units there and beyond to the east is the church and...

Finally opening in December https://www.yorkshirecoastradio.com/news/local-news/2990921/scarboroughs-new-train-depot-to-open-in-december/

First 2-3 mins of a YouTube clip go past the site from a drivers view

I went past a few days ago, a bit of activity near to the turntable.

There appears to be access to the site through the CurrysPCWorld loading area, there is a gate which says something like network rail staff only. I also noticed the other day that there are rails laid within the tracks prior to the site.
