If you're ever in Northallerton town centre in North Yorkshire, Barker's department store has a loop of track running round just below ceiling height in a bay off their main restaurant. Backdrop and loco and rolling stock vary according to the season.


Note, it is the town centre store and not the edge of town furniture store.

This one ?


I think there is something similar at Wernigerode in the Harz. But I may be wrong. Max
Yep that's the one. The actual food wasn't anything to write home about, but reasonably priced. But then again we didn't go for the gourmet experience :rofl:
I, like most people tried to see how the trains were held on to the tracks, you can't lift them obviously, I'm pretty sure they must be attached to the 2 lengths of wire inside the track, but how it works I've no idea. Anyone know?

We also visited last year on my stag do. Best man did well with the planning. I posted to Instagram and got several hundred thousand views on the video! I was super curious about the dispatch software but couldn't find anyone with that level of interest to talk about it

Here is a video of that same restaurant narrated in English and showing much more of how it is operated:

Thanks for sharing - excellent find. They seem to use Train Controller for the dispatch. When we were there last summer - the dishes are now also delivered by the trains!

Sorry, I've contributed to the usual GSC thread drift. I'll return everyone to the topic of suspended railways :)
