The Wensleydale Railway



We took return tickets from Redmire behind Tornado. It was quite a contrast between the gleaming A1 and the infrastructure of the railway itself. The heritage line is at an early stage in its development and is therefore reminiscent of the pioneering heritage railways of the 1970s and 1980s.

The essentials are in place but many visitor amenities have not really got off the ground yet, as the railway is a relative late-comer on the scene. As always, the rate of progress will be down to the availability of funds. Nevertheless, the track was already in place and the scenery is splendid. A future link up with S&C? Well, that would be something special.
