South Tynedale extension to Slaggyford

[yorkie]

Does anyone have an update on this?

Also has anyone done, or want to do, or volunteer on the South Tynedale Railway on here?

Update (June 2018): The line is now open; see https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...-lintley-halt-to-slaggyford-extension.152567/

It seems from their website that it is their next goal to get into Slaggyford. All being well I am going there on a rail holiday in the Summer.

I don't know, but I read an article about the railway recently and thought it looked excellent. Everything up north is so far away for me (I'm sure enthusiasts that live up there are probably wishing the South Devon Railway was nearer too though).

I wish them well - there's a bridge needed to cross the new A69 Haltwhistle bypass, which has severed the formation just south of the Tyne crossing, but that apart, the formation is pretty clear, I think?

I only travelled on the branch once, about a week before it closed, but often drop in at Alston if up that way.
