The August 2025 track plan (with thanks to Peter Scott and Martyn Brailsford). It is ©Peter Scott but not on his website and is for personal use only. Our visit covered every line shown, including the traverser left of the sheds, except those inside the sheds. The 7¼" only anticlockwise line is the extension completed in 2016 (the Tunnel is dated 2014); the other circuits are normally operated clockwise.<br>[&copy; Peter Scott 2025]	Harrogate MES from the 2014 tunnel portal.

The flat crossing is ahead, various loops and the tunnel bypass can be seen.<br>[&copy; Simon Mortimer 2025]	Emerging from the tunnel.<br>[&copy; Simon Mortimer/Stuart Hillston 2025]	That tunnel portal is seen from a different angle.<br>[&copy; Simon Mortimer/Stuart Hillston 2025]	Lynn Mhari gamely trying to haul six generously proportioned BLS Members.<br>[&copy; Simon Mortimer/Stuart Hillston 2025]	Hilda' with her 3 passengers<br>[&copy; Simon Mortimer/Stuart Hillston 2025]	Lynn Mhari.<br>[&copy; Simon Mortimer/Stuart Hillston 2025]
