Yea, platform 3b only available for service heading to York.

Did this cause the early delays to northbound services?

Was that the points issue which caused the 1957 London Kings Cross to Bradford Interchange GC service which originally arrived on Platform 3B to have to reverse southward to come back via platform 4, 20-or so minutes later?

No idea as the issues at Marshgate was sorted early afternoon.

Yes

Thanks. I was waiting for a London service at York on Sunday morning and the announcements said that the delay was due to over-running engineering north of York and points failure south of York. I know strictly speaking that Marshgate is south of York, but i had visions of it being Colton Jc. It would of been more accurate to announce it as points failure at/near Doncaster.
