Great video of this outstanding railway in a wonderful part of the country. I’d really like to see it reach Haltwhistle once again but I doubt it will happen given the amount of missing infrastructure and the fact that a part of the route crosses private land.
It's great to see Slaggyford station restored. I have only had one trip down this line in late 1975. There was only one passenger here and I think one at Coanwood. I'm a member of another RPS and people make a big fuss about level crossing but they seem to have managed just fine here. The signalbox is superb.

Good to see the line extension finally open Julian. An excellent video of the first runs. Hoping to visit myself very soon.

~ Is this 'Ratty' gauge Julian .. ? It looks similar ..
Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is 15in gauge, South Tyne Railway is 24in gauge - but with much bigger coaches.
I take it, that loco "Barber" is LPG fired.
No Coal, the tender is for the air compressor for the the air brakes
