    Looks like a bit more ballast on the right of the tamper would help, seems a bit scant

      That was the outside of the curve. For a 70mph curve it would have been raised higher than it was previously.

    May just be the camera angles but the new track seems better aligned than maybe it did before - a smooth curve. Well done everyone.

Best wishes to the house residents who have been obviously living within a nightmare after the landslips. All being well I shall join you AT DUFFIELD ! -in a short period of time. Aptly for the date, surrender was not an option...............WELL DONE the EVR team.

    when I was a small kid, I can remember going up into that Signal Box with, if I remember rightly, a lady called May, I loved watching her pull the levers and turn the big wheel to open the gates, then watch the stone trucks clatter by... I think she lived in the house on the opposite side of the road... 🚂
