NYMR Carriage Stable Time Lapse - Yorkshire's Magnificent Journey

[@Andrewjg_89]

I never been on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. But this looks incredible. Great work👍💚

[@NYMR]

Thank you Andrew

[@xylicable]

Wonderful time lapse of the construction. Looks like a great facility for making it easier to look after your wonderful fleet of rolling stock by your brilliant people.

[@andrewmacpherson706]

I built this, proud as punch, the best job ever

[@alantoms3263]

Great presentation using time-lapse photography. I'm getting old, and whilst I admire the initiative to prepare this, which helps protect the rolling stock, my first reaction was remorse seeing nice 'virgin territory' ripped up and built on. It got better as half of it wasn't used and 'became green' again, as the grass grew back - or was planted. Nice project and glad its reached completion for 2022. Al.

Thanks for commenting on the time lapse video. We are glad you enjoyed it. When we planned the scheme, we explored every possible site along the whole 18 miles of railway. We wanted something that was as unobtrusive as possible, was on land that we could acquire (because we have more or less no ‘spare’ land in our ownership) and was operationally in the right place. In the end we found the one available piece of land beside the short length of line at Pickering that is outside the National Park boundary. There simply is no brownfield land beside the railway. We worked closely with the local planning authority to minimise the impact of the building, whilst keeping it as large as possible. It’s not meant to be a lock-up garage, the partially open sides keep the rain off but allow ventilation and all the servicing facilities, pits, power etc are there to help the team do their job. The green area is designed to hold water when the valley floods, eliminating any increased flooding risk in Pickering town.

Congrats on the build being completed, looks amazing and I can’t wait to be back up there in the new year to see it

We are going to Yorkshire for a holiday in May, we hope to visit the NYMR while there, can't wait . Love the video.

I was just wondering why it's not fully enclosed or at least at the sides. Not exactly full protection from the elements ??

Good to see EU benefits made clear👍

[@theempirestrikesback2939]

Which amount was EU funded?

[@1chish]

I believe some of it was along with the National Lottery but why do you ask?

[@theempirestrikesback2939]

@@1chish The website mentions funding of the European agricultural fund for rural development. I am interested in the height of support that heritage line received from the EU that will in the future be obsolete.

[@1chish]

@@theempirestrikesback2939 I guessed there was some ulterior reason. But you are wrong. The UK has replaced that EU agricultural funding with its own fund. Of course the money the EU 'gave' to the UK was money the UK had paid to the EU in the first place. I was always mystified why some people couldn't understand that simple fact. North Yorkshire Moors Railway was awarded £1.9million as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund to help the organisation survive the financial challenges caused by the Covid-19 crisis.

I believe it was a jar of French branded coffee, surplus to requirements when the EU moved its entire commision from Brussels to Strasbourg for 2 weeks, as it does once every year to appease the French.

Whilst I'm a supporter of the railway and understand the need for this facility I feel it's such a shame about the location. Pity it couldn't be built somewhere less obtrusive. It has changed the look of this part of the valley for the worse.

[@jamescollins3647]

Your house probably makes that part of the country look worse than before it was built.

[@jammiedodger7040]

They should not modify coaches if they need a disabled coach use a new coach

[@xylicable]

Have you considered how modifications to non unique vehicles can improve the patron experience to enjoy a day out at the railway? As in the rest of life, one has to sometime compromise. Mods have to be considered very carefully in the context of the overall objective: preserving and operating heritage railway for members of the public to enjoy. Your approach would not only discriminate, be detrimental to a wide group of people but is plain daft. Would you also apply this logic to not fitting toilet retention tanks?

[@jammiedodger7040]

@@xylicable The coaches should be kept in the original state the same as how they were built and just build new replica coaches

[@MajesticTrains]

There's hundreds of MK1s left knocking around, really doesn't matter if a few are converted for wheelchair access. Better for everyone to experience it in my opinion.

[@xylicable]

@@jammiedodger7040 Restoring old vehicles to as built condition - what does this mean? In practice rolling stock went through modification throughout its operating life. Examples: pictures/ads in carriages, change of livery, replacement seat moquette, lights, carpet, handles, wheelsets, suspension components, bogies etc. They were adapted to do their job as their job changed throughout their lives and in preservation some lost features are restored, some are not and new ones added. Even vehicles in the NRM are not going to be exactly as they were built. Specialist restorations probably closest (Stately trains, LNER Beaver Tail) but these are for special and probably unique examples and more likely restored to a configuration supported by available evidence and materials to do so. Aside from the falsity of getting to as built condition, one has to weigh up the practicalities of such “purity” - the cost and effort of doing the restoration to that level vs. The benefits to the vehicle’s continued life and usefulness on an operating railway? Doing so for something really special - LNER Beaver Tail -> YES! But does it really matter that a MK1 is not absolutely as it was in 1951 in Derby? Does it destroy the illusion that is preservation? No. And for your particular gripe not having improvements for disability access is discriminatory and unhelpful to passengers/staff/the railway. Building new carriages - well if railways could afford it, maybe they would (Ffestiniog Welsh Highland), I’m sure Bombardier/CAF/Alstom would love it!
