Trains around Hull and the Drax branch - 8th and 9th June 2021 - A Warts and All view.

Filmed on 8th and 9th June 2021 at Hessle Rd Jnc, Hull followed by biomass workings on the Drax branch and Hensall. Also includes a shot at Burton Salmon.
The footage of the former Hull & Barnsley section of the Drax branch shows the embankments covered in poppies which were as a result of the previous years work to shore up the embankments. They completely dug out and replaced the embankment sides during this work and then put a membrane down before covering in fresh top soil.
This work can be seen in the Previous upload covering Church Fenton and Ulleskelf.

Thanks for your kind comments Nigel - The poppies on the embankment were as a result of the previous years work to shore up the embankments. They completely dug out and replaced the embankment sides during this work and then put a membrane down before covering in fresh top soil.
