Wensleydale Railway launch drive to renew pre-WW1 tracks and re-open station at the end of the line
In a statement, the line said: “The condition of track and infrastructure between Leyburn and Redmire is very poor and rapidly deteriorating. We cannot safely run passenger trains over this section of line in its current state. The railway is predominantly constructed on ash ballast, wooden sleepers and 90lb North Eastern Rail which is heavily worn out and life-expired. Some of this track dates back to before the First World War.
“With your support, the purpose of this appeal is primarily to raise essential"pump-priming" funds that will provide crucial support for future, larger grant funding applications, although some will be used on essential track repairs. The funds will act as a match-funding resource that can be used as vital leverage when applying for the larger, often governmental, funding opportunities necessary to reopen this section of line.
Much of the section of the line between Redmire and Leyburn has not been renewed since the Edwardian era “This appeal is the next step in the railway's development and the beginning of major plans to upgrade the railway infrastructure and return to Redmire.”
