No trains in or out of Hull Paragon due to renewing the rails in Platforms 4 & 5 for starters and may be installing new buffer stops in Platorms 2 & 3 and bring back into use Platform 1. Track in platforms 4 & 5 is old bullhead rail with 2 hole fish plates in parts and in certain parts its sinking. New flat bottom rail in 4 foot of platform 5 and a fe lengths of bull head rail in platform 7, so the engine release points from years ago may be going as well and plain lining ends of platforms 6 & 7.
Rail replacement Hull to Goole, Selby and Beverley and Brough for Hull Trains as they are starting there. Engineering trains stopping Hull been used.

I recall that back in the 90's at least one of the platform roads had the oldest track in regular use in the region possibly the whole network.
According to the then GEOGIS system I think it was recorded as 1919

That looks like it might be platforms 4 & 5 as the track does look very old especially with short lengths and two hole fishplates and very contaminated ballast if thats what its supposed to be laid on. It looks like it never been relaid for years.
