During the August period we ran 98% of the advertised service, which has been an improvement over the past few years. Takings for the month of August were in excess of £74,000 which was up on previous years and ahead of expectations. Ticket sales were highest at Leeming Bar, followed by Leyburn, Bedale and the Guards. Buffet sales were reversed, with Leyburn having the highest revenue, followed by Leeming Bar and Bedale. On train buffet revenue on the steam set was up over the previous years as well. I think a well done is deserved by all for helping to achieve these figures! Overall, however it has been a mixed year to date, May and June were unusually quiet, with things not really picking up until July. Quite why this is, I am unsure, although talking to passengers in September and October - where the numbers have been quite healthy, it may be an effect of a Tour de Yorkshire, where those not interested in cycling are stopping away to avoid the crowds – certainly that was the reason given by three groups of passengers. Next year’s timetable is in the printing design stage – there are a number of changes, some of which might seem odd. For example, Thursdays has been removed during August. Why? Well when reviewing the data, Thursdays was by far the worst day which was repeated over both the two years. In fact the passenger numbers followed a surprising trend – Tuesday was the busiest, dropping on Wednesday, bottoming out on Thursday before picking up on Friday and Saturday, with numbers dropping off again on Sunday. Running days will primarily be Tuesdays and Friday to align with the market days but also because Wednesday is the day when a lot of volunteering takes place – not having trains running increases the amount of work that can be done without having to work around trains. The biggest noticeable change will be the change to services. We will operate on slightly more days, but there will be a reduction in the number of round trips for a large proportion of those. Most days will operate on a yellow, 2 round Page 1 of 7 trip timetable. Again, why? Well put simply, the last service of the day was not particularly well patronised; on a number of occasions returning empty. Cutting this service means cutting out around 3600 miles of running and thus reducing wear, tear and cost. Will this cause lost passengers? Perhaps, but if we take in to account the cost of operating those services vs the number of passengers actually using it, we lost money. The Afternoon Tea service bolstered it on the days it was operating but the service needs to be able to at least break even on its own, which it wasn’t doing. In addition, it will also bring benefits to those having to work the services and enable them to get home quicker. Some of our volunteers regularly come from West, South and East Yorkshire as well as Lancashire. This meant when time travelling to and from home was taken in to account, some volunteers were looking at a 14 or 15 hour day, which is a long day by anyone’s standards. November is a “drawing breath” month, before the rush of Santa takes place. I think most people will be aware that there a few changes taking place this year, primarily aimed at improving the product. The most obvious change is that a marquee will be put in the car park to enable our customers to have somewhere dry and warm to wait. Up until now, it has always been pure luck as to whether the weather would be welcoming as there is limited accommodation for the customers to shelter in when waiting – and personally, I always think there is nothing as cold as a railway station to wait at when the weather is miserable, it must have been some Victorian design competition: which Architect can create the coldest, most miserable station! We have an excellent product to begin with, it is now about trying to sort out some of the things that customers have commented on that can improve the experience for them and mostly that is off train, rather than on train. As new things are introduced, there will be things that perhaps don’t work as well as expected but if we don’t try things out we will never know. Sales are at around £22,000 already, which is close to half of last years total. In the pipeline, Rebekah has also negotiated some advertising on Smooth Radio in conjunction with their “Make Some Noise” appeal which is yet to run. Hopefully this should help extend our reach this year. We have had a suspicious incident at Bedale dock over the weekend, where a number of items have been moved towards the gate. It looks like an attempt at theft which has been disturbed. If anybody is passing there and sees anything suspicious please report it to the police on 101. Finally, look out for the Railway on TV next year. Sue Threadgold, Gordon Steadman and myself were interviewed for the final programme of a series called “The Dales with Paul Rose” which features the line between Redmire and Leyburn. This is the follow up to the program “The Lakes with Paul Rose” and will be shown on BBC2. On Friday I was with a George Clarke delivering him to a property alongside the Railway as part of his Amazing Spaces programme, with filming of the 121 dropping him off at the property and also featuring as a backdrop. This will be shown on channel 4. Earlier in the year the J27 was filmed at Finghall Lane Station in connection with the Yorkshire Vet tv series on Channel 5 and finally, the J27 at the Railway will also feature on the programme that follows the NYMR(!?). So by the end of next year, hopefully people will be fed up of the Railway on TV!! Richard Brown NEWS FROM THE WR PLC BOARD At the October Board meeting there was detailed discussion about the financial position. Although the turnover for the year to date has been in line with the budget (a considerable increase on last year), costs have been higher (particularly in operations) and the gross profit for the year has been less than expected. There have been welcome donations to enable much of the required track and infrastructure work to be carried out and we are expecting a large payment from a leisure company relating to changes in a track crossing arrangement.

  • Heritage at Risk Register
    CASTLE HOWARD MAUSOLEUM Castle Howard Estate, Ryedale, North Yorkshire The Mausoleum, by Hawksmoor, 1729-42, and modelled on the tomb of Metella, is a major feature of the Howardian Hills. Situated on a bluff east of Castle Howard. The columns were repaired with a grant in the 1980s. The entablature and bastions continue to decay. Much of the damage is due to rusting cramps. The staircase balustrade is collapsing. 304 HERITAGE AT RISK YORKSHIRE & THE HUMBER 305 Y&H HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Of the 176 entries on the baseline 1999 Yorkshire and the Humber buildings at risk register, 91(52%) have now been removed. Although this is 6% higher than the regional average for 2008, our rate of progress is slowing. Of the five entries removed this year, only one was on the 1999 register. This is because the core of buildings remaining from the 1999 register are either scheduled monuments with no obvious use, or buildings with a problematic future that require a strategic re-think to provide a viable solution. Despite these problems, we are continuing to work with owners, local authorities, trusts and other funding bodies to try to secure the long-term future of these buildings and structures. Just over half (52%) of the regional grants budget (almost £500,000) was offered to eleven buildings at risk in the last financial year. There are four new entries this year: in North Yorkshire, St Leonard’s Church at Sand Hutton, and in West Yorkshire, Hopton Congregational Church in Mirfield,Westwood Mills at Linthwaite, and Stank Hall near Leeds.This gives a total of 122 Grade I and II* listed buildings and scheduled monuments at risk entries on the Yorkshire and the Humber register.

  • The Penhill Benefice Brochure
    The Penhill Benefice Brochure The Diocese of Leeds In this new diocese, less than three years old, we are working with three core objectives: . Confident Christians: Encouraging personal spiritual renewal with the aim of producing clergy and laity who are confident in God and in the Gospel. Growing Churches: Numerically, spiritually and in their mission to the wider world. Changing communities: For the better, through our partnership with other churches and faith communities, as well as government and third sector agencies. The Anglican Diocese of Leeds comprises five Episcopal Areas, each coterminous with an Archdeaconry. This is now one of the largest dioceses in the country, and its creation is unprecedented in the history of the Church of England. It covers an area of around 2,425 square miles, and a population of around 2,642,400 people. The three former dioceses were created in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to cater for massive population changes brought about by industrialisation and, later, mass immigration. The diocese comprises major cities (Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield), large industrial and post-industrial towns (Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury), market towns (Harrogate, Skipton, Ripon, Richmond and Wetherby), and deeply rural areas (the Dales). The whole of life is here, along with all the richness, diversity and complexities of a changing world. The Diocesan Bishop (The Rt Rev’d Nick Baines) is assisted by five Area Bishops (Bradford, Huddersfield, Kirkstall, Wakefield and Ripon), and five archdeacons (Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract, Richmond & Craven). The Bishop of Ripon is the Rt Rev’d Dr. Helen-Ann Hartley. Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ.

  • Castle Bolton, Wensleydale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal
    Castle Bolton, Wensleydale – Conservation Area Character Appraisal Designated – 30 November 1999 © Crown copyright, Yorkshire Dales NPA, Licence No. 100023740 2007 1. Introduction This character appraisal has been prepared as part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Conservation Area Strategy. It has been drafted following four consultation meetings with residents of Castle Bolton in August and September 1999. 2. The location and setting of the village Situated high up on the north side of the wide, glaciated valley of Wensleydale, on the 240 metre contour, Castle Bolton nestles on gently sloping land immediately below the low scar of Ellerlands Edge. Breaking ground slopes away below the village to the south and extensive surrounding woodland plantations ensure that the village of Castle Bolton is not particularly prominent from distant views. Instead, the towering mass of the 14th Century Castle acts as an emblem of its presence, the special character of the village only being really appreciated from close to. Castle Bolton today is located away from the main communication routes through Wensleydale, being reached only via narrow country lanes. It sits on the eastern edge of the National Park, 1 kilometre north west of Redmire, with which it shares a history as an estate village, and 8 kilometres from the market town of Leyburn. 3. The historical origins and development of Castle Bolton The origins of Castle Bolton are, like many Dales villages, obscure. Place name evidence suggests a possible date for the first settlement in Anglo-Saxon times – “Bodle” meaning house or to build, and “Ton” meaning enclosure or settlement.
