Here are some at Hessle on 12th Feb 2019.

What supplied the train heat?

I'm pretty sure that's a Class 37 cab ride from Paragon to Selby. There's also a 66 cab ride from Hedon Road to Gascoigne Wood on YouTube somewhere.

Heard these two go through but didn't see them assuming they were the usual DRS 20/3's.Gutted.

I'll be sad to see the Gilberyke semaphores go as I grew up in that area and they played an ever present backdrop to my childhood. Whether it was out playing with my mates or watching the railway scene later as an enthusiast they were a constant part of the scenery. Still a few months to see them though, luckily I cycle that in that area regularly.

Last ones for now... The ill-fated 31 436 calling at Gilberdyke, just three passengers and a road bike await. 31 448 at speed on a York-Hull service.

47 559 passing the banner repeater signal mentioned earlier in this thread. I think this was the Tenby-Hull summer only working that ran for a short time in 1985. Usually turned up a WR 47.

Lincoln's class 114 E53017 & E54010 waiting for the off at Gilberdyke. 1984.

47 425 again at Gilberdyke. Seeing the old station waiting rooms brings back memories. Flower pots lovingly tended by the staff, IIRC the stationmaster's name at this time was Carole. Lovely lady with a West Country accent. It was always a tidy station back then. Pete.

Interesting sign at Oxmardyke...don't know if it's still there.

Sorry for going a bit off topic - I just wanted to show the changes in the tracks and platforms back when...

47 425 passing the signalbox at Gilberdyke and 47 444 on acetic acid tanks going the other way. Don't know which signalman had the small moped...?

31 421 with a Hull-Manchester service and 31 432 stopping at Gilberdyke.
