Variety at York station.

-
An afternoon visit to the station brought the following....

A coal train heading south... a rare sight these days.

Each Thursday there is a Carnforth to Scarborough charter which is steam hauled from York to the seaside and back. Here the loco with its support coach is going from the yard at NRM, where it is coaled and serviced, to Holgate sidings where the locos are changed. The train was class 37 hauled up to this point.

Class 180 arrives at York with a down train.

185108 shows off its new Trans Pennine livery.

A train of long welded rail heads north at speed through platform 3 (which used to be the up platform).

 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.
