The event is on Sunday November 8th and is an opportunity for members of the public to show their support for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, by “walking the line” between Goathland Station and Bridge 30, a distance of less than a mile northwards, from the station. At this time, the Railway will be closed to operations. However, organised tours starting at 10am from Goathland Station, will be on offer, leaving hourly. The tours will enable supporters of the Railway to walk the track and to see Bridge 30 at first hand. Walkers are advised to wear stout foot wear and unfortunately anyone under the age of 10 will not be permitted. The bridge carries the railway over Eller Beck near Darnholme. It is over 150 years old and has reached the end of its life, needing replacement over the Winter period and before the Railway starts its main seasonal operations in March 2010. The Railway has to replace it over the winter, but due to its construction and the difficulties in accessing the site due to its remote location, the estimated cost is about £600,000. Those wanting to walk the line will be asked to contribute £5 per person, with contributions going towards the Appeal. Further information is available from Neal Clarke, Chairman of North Yorkshire Moors Railway Plc at neal.clarke@nymr.co.uk.
