I believe that there are a couple of errors in the Route Map: 1. Section between Leeming Bar and Northallerton should not be marked as "Not in use". It doesn't have a regular passenger service unlike the section between Leeming Bar and Redmire. However it is occasionally used by tank trains and occasional excursions. 2. Trains connecting between the Wensleydale Railway and the WCML actually have to make a reversal - the diagram makes it look as though this is not necessary. I don't know how to make these changes - can somebody else?Zin92 (talk) 07:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Rich, the line is dark red because I changed it minutes ago. The diagram now shows the former layout at Northallerton which was a triangle and is now rationalised to a single junction. This means that trains can run straight onto the E (not W) CML although they have to reverse to access Northallerton station, and head south on the ECML. Britmax (talk) 09:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
The article says "Recreation of the entire 40-mile link between Northallerton and Garsdale would make it the fourth largest heritage railway in England" - I'm sorry, but what lines are longer than that? If you add the Welsh Highand and the Ffestiniog together then maybe, but that would still only be one, and they're two separate lines. There aren't any others that long, the next is the West Somerset, which is only twenty something. Tom walker (talk) 22:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Text claims longest heritage railway in Great Britain, however using the same criteria for both, the West Somerset Railway seems to be longer by 1km. 2ghoti (talk) 17:35, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
This section currently reads poorly, is formatted pretty poorly and I'm not sure of the accuracy of some of the claims (and there are no references). Can somebody improve it? Or should we just delete it? Zin92 (talk) 21:21, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Tomlinson p. 480 (which is were the ref 1 link takes you) only states this railway was given permission to build the railway. I can't find in Tomlinson who opened it; however I wrote in York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway that, according to Hoole, the GNER had permission, and opened to Bedale in 1848 (contradicting this article). I'm on the road at the moment and without my book, so I'll have a look at the weekend. Edgepedia (talk) 08:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

1. Re "short term plan is to extend some 0.75 miles to a brand new station serving Castle Bolton. This has been costed at £2 million, and is listed in a five year plan, so should be operational by 2025." Isn't "should" a bit strong? Just because it's in a 5-year plan, given the need to raise £2million, I would have thought that being operational by 2025 is optimistic.
2. Re "The missing bridge that used to span Apedale Beck to the west of Redmire station, will be replaced by a redundant bridge from the Catterick branch line, that was removed during the A1 to A1(M) upgrade in 2015", agreed that this was the plan. However whilst the bridge was stored in Redmire station car park for a while, it has now been dismantled and scrapped. Hence there's no possibility that it will be used to span Apedale Beck. Sorry but I can't find a source for this.
