Yep - as does the Welsh Highland.

Looks more like an Angry Bird to me... :)

The R1s? http://www.theremembranceline.org.uk/past_R1.htm They were replaced by Panniers at some point in the late '50s according to that page. Don't think any are preserved unfortunately...

ASLEF have got hold of it: http://www.aslef.org.uk/information/139068/stafford_red_light/ A public enquiry might help bring the database forward a bit?

One of the main arguments for the station is that a fair number of people who live in Haxby commute to the likes of Leeds or Wakefield.

There is - mostly medicals I believe. It's just south of the village, about half a mile from the closest level crossing, and just over a mile from where the original Strensall station was (Lords Moor Lane LC). The Hospital station seems to re-emerge just before every local election, just like...

Stockton (on the Forest) maybe? Although that was on the Beverley line, rather than the Scarborough line. Where that crossed the A64 would have been the perfect place for a York NE P&R; would probably have caught a lot of Leeds-bound commuters as well, given a decent service... Nothing...
