Still owned by Network Rail, but on a long lease, the Wensleydale Railway opened for business on 5th July 2003 after many years of campaigning and fund raising by the dedicated volunteers.
A million pounds was raised in a share issue which has gone towards opening the line from Leeming Bar to Leyburn.
This dvd covers the opening of the line which was the culmination of a few hectic weeks of platform rebuilding following the official handover of the track from Network Rail.
We also re-trace the final freight train to Redmire and the last loco-hauled passenger train in the 1990s.
Our dvd concludes with a cab ride along the whole route from the cab of the Railway’s Class 107.
Contents:
Archive film of last special passenger trains.
First working parties by volunteers.
Interviews with railwaymen.
Open Day in July 2003.
Cab Ride from Leyburn to Leeming Bar.
Short sequence of archive film from 1964.
Archive film of last freight working to Redmire.
Approx. 60 minutes.

Saving of Settle Signal Box
£4.00The remarkable story of how Settle’s old 1891 signal box was moved from its location of over 100 years to nearer the station. The movement required special measures being put in place to make certain the structure was secure and steel bracing put around it. A 90-ton road crane was hired in to lift the box onto six trolleys positioned across the main Settle-Carlisle Line which was closed and in a possession for track work elsewhere along the route.
This is the photographic story of the movement in 1997 and the restoration of the signal box as seen by photographs by Roger Hardingham.
