Newby Hall’s miniature railway has been left completely covered by flooding of the River Ure caused by Storm Isha.
Newby Hall's railway flooded following Storm Isha Newby Hall’s miniature railway has been left completely covered by floods caused by Storm Isha. The country house near Ripon sits on the River Ure, which has seen water levels rise during the storm. And floods caused by heavy rainfall have left Newby’s miniature railway tracks completely submerged. The railway tracks run parallel to the river in the shape of a dumb-bell loop. Newby released a video on its social media this morning showing the extent of the flooding. It said:
“The River Ure is so high this morning it’s completely covered our railway. The Ure is one of many rivers that drain the Dales into the River Ouse.”The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the Harrogate district which will be in place until 12pm Wednesday (24th January). Flood warnings have also been issued by The Environment Agency. Tune in to Your Harrogate Radio online, on DAB and on your smart speaker for all the latest traffic, travel and weather news.
