    Only two that I can see that stop at York, 13:47 KX to Aberdeen and 17:15 KX to Edinburgh.  Other LNER services that stop at York will be by bus between Peterborough and Doncaster.

    Realtime trains.

    In railway news, Cock Lane has acquired a CCTV camera, road/rail cherry pickers and trolleys have arrived.

    The three transformers to the left of the white van for the OHLE have been here for a couple of weeks and some of dilapidated pallets of insulators have turned up.  Not sure what is going on, the transformers are faded and dirty so may have already had replacements installed.

    The gentleman had just been inside and probably fired up a diesel generator as smoke can be seen coming through the roof vent.

    I have a feeling that most, if not all deer present in the UK are technically not a native species!

     

    Lots of people don't realise that Rabbits are an import by William the Conquers lot and were not present in the UK till after 1066 (as opposed to the humble hare which IS native to the UK) and I think the Normans were also responsible for deer as it gave them something for the new toffs to hunt (once they had cleared out those pesky Anglo Saxon villagers from places like the New Forrest.

    Only Roe Deer and Red Deer are native species. Fallow, Muntjac, Sika and Chinese Water deer 🦌 are all introduced species.

    They must intend to move some large and heavy machinery across that size of bridge. Perhaps preparing the ground for a building of some kind.
