Thanks for sharing this video so that we can see how the work is done. Tremendous. It was great that Volker Rail came up trumps.

Great to see guys who know what they are about getting the job done efficiently and quietly. As an engineer it is great to watch. Thank you.

Dropping stone is always interesting like using the shark to spread stone dropped from the dogfish centre door.

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.

Very well done to all concerned, look a very nice job indeed . 👍

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

Hi Neil, I just found this post, and was wondering why was the track realigned? Ah I just heard your comment

Very good to see this. A timely reminder of difficult and very dirty work needing doing and tackled. 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.

Thank you Neil for posting this excellent and most informative video. I look forward to taking the train once more from Duffield, courtesy of all the detailed planning and hard work that has gone into re-aligning the track in such a short space of time. Cheers, William Skinner.

Thank you! Your feedback is sincerely appreciated and - no - I've never been an H&S officer but safety really takes up a lot of our time at a heritage railway!

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... 🚂
