North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

A recent visit to Goathland station on the NYMR shows the detail work which has been done on these preserved stations on the line.

A general view of the station looking North.

The signal box and a selection of good vehicles can be seen here along with the gardener.

We arrived as preparations were well under way for a 1940s week end and the stations had a number of appropriate posters on display.

Along with the usual BR Mark 1 coaches were a number of LNER teak examples.

A NER loco which spent its working life hauling coal trains in the North East now pounds its way up the steep gradients on this line with passenger trains. The southbound approach to Goathland station is a 1 in 49 bank... not bad for a loco built in 1918.  The train is seen here at Grosmont waiting to shunt its stock back into the carriage sidings to leave the platform free for an arrival from Whitby. 

"The Great Marquess" heads south out of Goathland station with an afternoon train which includes more of the teak stock.

Hornsea Station, East Yorkshire.

 When the branch line from Hull to Hornsea was closed in October 1964 the Station building was left to deteriorate. This is what it looked like by late summer 1985. However, it is a Grade 2 listed building so it could not easily be demolished and it was a rather grand building so it was converted to flats, some of which were available for let as self catering accommodation.  These images show the present state of the buildings and area. The area in front of the old station is now part of the Trans Pennine walk. The station house has been made into two flats with the ground floor being holiday accommodation.

  There are very few class 91 diagrams into York these days but what there are are made up of refurbished and reliveried sets. This is the Kings Cross to York which forms the 12.02 stopping service to Kings Cross.  These are the pacer replacements. A great improvement.
