In this issue
Managing the Moors: Andy Coward heads to Pickering to meet North Yorkshire Moors Railway chief executive officer Laura Strangeway and NYMR plc chairman
Chris Gee and find out how they are guiding the popular heritage railway out of a particularly difficult period both for its finances and services. The
green shoots of recovery are starting to appear, as we find out in our latest Meet the Manager profile.
Heavy maintenance: The Heavy Tractor Group’s preserved flagship locomotive, 37714 Cardiff Canton, has moved from the Great Central Railway to Loram UK in
Derby for a programme of heavy maintenance. We speak to Andy Gillett from the HTG about the work being done on the Class 37 and the unique partnership with Loram.
