A selection of class 20s.... just because I like them....

Entering Bescot up yard from the Walsall line... when you could still do that.

Pleck Junction with a van train - the 1960s power box is no longer with us nor the overgrown track in the foreground... or the van trains for that matter!!

Colwich on the WCML... coal trains are very rare these days and the four wheel MGR wagons are a thing of the past. 

One of the later series of class 20 heads north through Bescot station. 

A coal train heads through Rugeley Trent Valley station towards the power station at Rugeley.


...and still they soldier on. Two DRS examples at York station.

 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.
