Knottingley - Feb 83

A class 56 loco #56 110. These were the relatively new boys to the loco fleet back in my day, introduced in 1976.

Knottingley - Feb 83

Maybe not a busy station for passengers, but certainly for freight traffic. A class 08 shunter beside some coal wagons.

Leeds - 31 Oct 84

A class 141 Leyland / BREL Railbus

Tynemouth - Dec 84

See disused stations for the abandoned BR platforms. They really are quite spiffing as I'm sure you will agree or your money back!

I originally had this as Monors - Cheers to Colin Alexander for putting me right.

Middlesbrough - Sept 85

A Metro Cammell DMU.

For such a big town its quite amazing that its train services are mainly local.

Newcastle - 21 August 85

Me by Tyne with the Swing Bridge and High Level Bridge (with a 2 car DMU crossing) in the background.

We were waiting for the Bernie Inn to open (I had Melon for starters!) before heading on to St James Park for Newcastle v Luton.

Newcastle - 21 August 85

Yet another Metro Cammell Dmu.

Newton Aycliffe - End 87

A rather basic looking station, with a class 143 Alexander / Barclay Railbus #143 00?

Penistone - Sept 84

Now just has the Barnsley - Huddersfield line. Hadfield to Sheffield Victoria (The Woodhead line) closed for passengers in 1964. Freight did continue for a while, however now I believe most of the track has been lifted.

See Disused Railways for the Woodhead platforms.

Poppleton - 20 Sept 82

A quaint station on the Harrogate line.
