Doncaster - freight trains.

-
Doncaster station is busy most days with coal, container and Railtrack engineering traffic.

A GBRf coal train heads north on the down fast line. The loco was originally no 66238.

An up DB container train wends its way through the freight lines at the back of the station. 

More coal traffic. 

Close up of the loco on the above coal train. This loco was purchased from DB and was one of the original batch of class 66s purchased by EWS. It used to be no 66132. 

A class 88 with a northbound engineer's train... the only electric hauled freight train on the ECML at present. 

Another view of the above train. The loco is 88004 - named Pandora.

 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.
