Work to bring Crownthorpe Bridge back in to use and allow the Mid-Norfolk Railway to recommence train operations from Dereham through the communities of Kimberley and Wymondham continues at pace. At the moment, the Mid-Norfolk Railway is operating trains between Dereham and Thuxton with occasional trains stopping at Hardingham too.
With the bridge waybeams removed a couple of weeks ago, structural inspections focusing on corrosion and protection have taken place earlier in the week and decisions on what – if any – further remedial work will be required aside from the waybeam renewals. Whilst these visits took place, volunteers were also present undertaking a number of activities from vegetation clearance to preparing the bridge for the waybeam installation which is expected to take place shortly.
Also last week, attention was focussed elsewhere in the temporarily closed section at Wicklewood - Rails already identified that required replacing due to the bridge above causing water run off over many years onto the rails below are an example of preventative maintenance to avoid complications in the future.

The Austerity design itself is also a very interesting part of railway history, built for practicality and wartime efficiency, yet still proving to be reliable camera filter online and powerful enough to survive into preservation. It’s impressive how many of these locomotives have been restored and continue to operate decades after their original industrial service ended.
It's great to see editing becoming more accessible for everyone.

Thank you for the update on Crownthorpe Bridge and Wicklewood maintenance! I'm curious about how wacky flip impacts the project’s timeline. Are there any potential delays we should be aware of?
A PSA appointment is an online booking made through the Philippine Statistics Authority to request documents like birth, marriage, or CENOMAR certificates. By setting a PSA appointment in advance, applicants can choose a convenient date and time, helping them avoid long lines and complete their request faster at the service center.
I think many people will enjoy having access to a free body editor app that works this smoothly. The results look polished while still keeping the photo realistic and balanced.
