Holbeck viaduct and Wortley curve in Leeds spring to mind. Up until recently the Horbury West Curve still had track too

If you can withstand the unflinching crudity of MTK kits then https://www.phoenix-paints.co.uk/products/nononsensekits/mtk/nnk-mtk-detail-parts/4-40453 sorts the 442 cab fronts

I suspect you've missed the element of sarcasm in the comment. I for one would prefer the locos save in a museum and not here there and everywhere but in one location where they can he seen and enjoyed. Most frothing enthusiasts don't understand a museum exhibit is better off looked after in...

It was removed by network rail and was considered past it. The message I received on the matter from NR is a few pages back on this forum

It has been built over at the southern end plus the Bowling viaduct collapsed in 1995 so it is an impossibility. The northern end is still used occasionally for scrap yard traffic or was until recently.

For any one familiar with the railways of Bradford, the fire is at the former Spring Mill Street goods/coal yard which closed in 1983/4

Thanks, thought it was one or the other

I am fairly certain the line to Fishguard Harbour does from Whitland

Bridge over M62 on the Low Moor - Thornhill line. Built 19970 closed 1987 and carried less than 100 trains

I wouldn't call the ZF gearboxes new fangled. They are essentially a mechanical automatic bus gear, closer skin to the first gens than the hydraulic transmissions favoured in recent years. I think the gear changes give character to what are other wise bland boxes of plastic

Ilkley 1988 when the station was partly redeveloped as a supermarket, carpet and shops. Gas would have probably continued if it hadn't been refurbished at the time

The Middleton Railway in Leeds is quite a well known railway fitting your descrption

Wellington street station platforms once covered the entire area up to the river now taken by car parking and the multi storey up until the 60s when it became a parcels depot and the former platform 1/2 became lorry loading space and later the car park. The entrance currently next to the side...

From what I have heard amongst kwvr sources, the 144 is to receive red livery in time. The 108 was withdrawn in 2014 and active restoration has begun on it.

Only what they told me when I queried it with them...

There were many offers from what I understood from parties interested in preserving it however they decided to scrap it

Weardale accepted an offer from the scrap man over the offers from preservationists. It was nothing to do with anything other than greed. I directly raised a query with the railway and that is pretty much the response I got.

I agree Halifax does need a bus station, a town bus would be very useful to link the station to the bus station. As an aside, Halifax bus station was built in 1989 replacing the station at Crossfields and the first 'modern' metro bus station was in fact Dewsbury in 1993/4.

No, not quite, Metro was the brand name for WYPTE and is now the brand for WYCA. The sub brands were MetroTrain for the WYPTE subsidised services and MetroBus. There were some River Bus canal services too and WYPTE bus stops could be found along a couple of local canals as Barge stops...

And Skipton for that matter. Network Rails response has more cowpoo than a dairy farmer and as @yorksrob states above its needless destruction due to over complicated ideas.
