Update on Leeming Bar Station Refurb at Wensleydale Railway

The Wensleydale Railway has posted further progress on the refurbishment of the Leeming Bar Station House which will improve the facilities and bring the building up to date.

Contractors carrying out the work have managed to put measures in place meeting Government advice and guidelines to keep their staff safe, allowing work to continue.

Removing the old interior of the Station House has been complete. A minor set back has been seen in the re-roofing, with obtaining new slates being difficult at one stage.

Most of the new roof has been laid now, with a small area still requiring slates.

Focus is now on fitting out the new ticket office, kitchen and other rooms. The new bay window and stud walls have been built recently.

A big thank you goes to the National Lottery Heritage Fund who have provided finance towards this important rebuild.
