Happy memories of my Leeds-Glasgow train commuting in 1978. Always remember the guy walking down the side of the train at Carlisle tapping each wheel with a hammer on the Sunday 19.30 return. The 16.10 from Glasgow on Friday was like a private club in the buffet car. Same group of us all with our 8 cans of Tennants lager carry-on. #goodolddays

4:40, Hellifield shed after closure was used for long-term storage of around 12 of the National Collection of locomotives, such as the M.R. 4-2-2 Spinner" Crab 42700, EMU M28249M and a Kirtley 0-6-0

Fantastic cafe now on the station platform. Passenger services in the guise of DalesRail used the Blackburn - Hellifield route with 4 trains on a Sunday only. This service was stopped by Northern in late 2023. Although the service had been suffering abrupt cancellations for some time before this, engineering this eventual ceasing of the service. For a couple of years this service also ran over the winter to link again with the S&C without Rambling Guides at selected stations on the S&C. Although the true reason maybe just that using this service from Preston for example made a Sunday Trip up the S&C with lunch at Carlisle and in winter a bit of snow spotting all for the cost of approx £20 with a railcard. Odd that or am I just cynical. The people of the area are lobbying for a link to Skipton / Leeds by reinstating this route along with opening of the stations beyond Clitheroe its there already.

As a now retired main line driver I used to 'sign' York to Scarborough. I loved the semaphore signals and Falsgrave Box. Wonderful memories.
@NJPurlingАй бұрын
I took some night shots of the Falsgrave box. Only later did I find out that the shots were taken in the last 3 hours of it's usage. Part of the gantry was re-located to the north end of Grosmont station.

It is a lovely line, still mechanically signalled I believe. The Whitby Middlesbrough line should never have been closed. I have walked the line from Whitby to Scarborough.

I well remember Hellifield in the 1960's but at this distance in time it is distressing to see the sheer neglect of steam locomotives. Perhaps in those days we simply accepted it!
