A few hours on York station today....

-
After a break of a few days the TPE class 68s are back although they did not seem to be doing their usual trips to Scarborough. 




The Colas engineers' train was hauled by the usual class 70 even though the load was very light.



The daily rubbish train was headed by one of DB's newly repainted class 66s. MARITIME is a container company... but not the one which deals with the rubbish containers.



It seems that East Midlands are still hiring their power cars to LNER...
... and of course there was the usual Thursday steam excursion to Scarborough. 
Ex-LMS Jubilee class no. 45699 named "Galatea" seen here travelling from NRM to Holgate sidings to collect the train.

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.
