Transcript

00:00 We're open!

00:03 So I'm here with Barry, Senior Engineer at the Brixnell Cliff Railway.

00:17 We are eventually, after all this time, about to open.

00:21 Tell us when you originally closed, Barry.

00:24 We closed on the 24th of December, 2022.

00:30 And what was the reason for people that don't know?

00:33 We had damage to a wall, it caused us to close down, the council closed us down.

00:40 The wall was in a dangerous state, it had to happen, Barry.

00:45 Obviously there's been a few hiccups along the way.

00:48 Yes.

00:49 But I'm assuming now obviously the wall's all OK?

00:52 Yes, the wall's fine now, it's been checked this morning and we're all ready to go.

00:57 How are you all feeling about reopening?

00:59 Good, we're excited. We can't wait, to be honest. I think the town can't wait either.

01:06 Have you managed to do anything else during this closure, a bit of sprinkling, things like that?

01:10 Yes, we've got two jobs that we couldn't get to, obviously while we were running.

01:16 Repairing walls, repairing the tracks and repairing rollers and stuff like that.

01:22 So we've got plenty done.
