Isn,t one of the foot crossings close to where the line left the main line junction to head into Sharleston Pit. I have seen this myself and there was also a level crossing on the nearby road so the railway could get to the pit. I am pretty sure the level crossing on the road was operated by pit...

I remember stopping at Leeds Whitehall on a train heading from York to Manchester Airport in the early hours. Am I correct in remembering that it was only mostly used in the early hours when the Leeds First Project was on for re-building the present station which was closed for the night so the...

In the days of the picture above and still in latter years they was never usually called factories but always called railway works. These days new trains are produced in railway factories or is it just the experience of the journalists who just don,t know what railways works was as against...

Talking to the man who came to look at the machine at the station I was at that day told me that the ticket re-stocking etc. was been done by another company and he only now deals with the computer etc side of the equipment and his company that he works for has now made 3 employees redundant. So...

In other words to prove he has been to that location, in the old days the watch man carried a clock affair and had to insert a key in it at that location to prove he had been there.

There used to be a 90 o crossing on the Hull to Beverley line close to Botanic Gardens depot where the line used by goods trains going towards the Hornsea & Withernsea crossed over the Hull to Beverley line. After closure of the line to Hornsea & Withernsea line and the close of any goods...

They was removed in parts when the M62 motorway was constructed as the motorway is on top or very close to the railway line location. I remember the H & B over bridge over the Hull to Selby line as you could then judge where you was and where the next station would be.

It could be because its classed as private property as against been a public right of way, so by closing it off at night keeps the path as not been a right of way. That too could be the case with the other car park gate except its given up working. It also restricts un- authorised people passing...

I think you will find that the footbridge is open to access platforms 10 & 11 only after a certain time as there are doors which are closed to stop access to NRM. The short stay car park has a gate which is closed at a set time to block off the entrance near to Scarborough bridge and the long...

As all ready been commented on who is going to pay for changes and alterations so as the private coach companies can transport cycles may be one day a week? Should the train fares for rail replacement journeys be increased just to pay for cycle carrying changes to keep a few cyclists happy ...
