To agree to pay the full engine storage and
removal costs of £23,500, minus £5,000 contribution
from DPRS, together with the freight transportation costs of
£44,450, which involved the transportation of 5 locomotives
to be stored at Weardale Railway.
Reason: To allow the restoration of the goods shed to commence in
May 2023 as originally proposed, otherwise the costs that could be
incurred due to not accessing the building from the main contractor
until Sept 2023 would amount to approx. £100,000 and it would
also mean that the building wasn’t complete in line with the
remaining buildings in June 2024.
