stored at the railway, awaiting onward transport by road to the Aln Valley Railway. They departed the Wensleydale Railway in December 2020. Incidents 15 February 1867 – two trains collided on a single line section west of Newton-le-Willows station. The westbound train was in the process of moving forward to reverse shunt into the siding to allow the eastbound train to enter the station. Both trains were signalled onto the single line section at the same time and so collided head-on. Injuries were only to passengers in the eastbound train. An inquiry recommended that a passing loop and a second platform be installed. 24 December 1894 – the ex-Hawes goods train was shunting the yard at Bedale when a heavy goods train arriving from Darlington collided with it. One of the wagons went down an embankment, but there were no injuries. However, passengers had to detrain and walk through the station to rejoin trains on either side of the accident to continue their journeys. 6 December 1900, a landslip north of Bedale Signal Box, derailed a train so that it ended up in Bedale Beck. The fireman was scalded badly and taken to Northallerton Cottage Hospital, where he later died. 30 June 2011 – a tractor was hit by a train on Flood Bridge user-worked crossing (UWC). 1 August 2011 – a car was hit by a train on Fox Park level crossing between and stations. No injuries were reported. The above two accidents required the heritage railway to update and improve its safety management practices. 20 October 2012 – a car was hit by a locomotive on Fox Park level crossing. 30 January 2013 – a car was struck by a train at Aiskew level crossing, which took the A684 road over the railway (the A684 has bypassed this road since 2014). 3 August 2016 – a heritage train heading west from Northallerton West railway station, struck a car on the level crossing near to the village of Yafforth. The lights and audible alarms were determined to have been in good working order. The car driver and two passengers on the train were injured.
