RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 20, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thank you, Mick, for those excellent photo’s, and I hope you can post more in due course. Today there’s a new and better era on the line to Bridlington with the introduction, with the new timetable, of class 170 Turbostar DMU’s on the Sheffield, Goole, Hull, Beverley and Bridlington service. All are three carriages long, and the ride and seats, compared to a Pacer are infinitely better. Here’s three photo’s of the 10.06 departure to Hull and Sheffield. Formed of unit, 170476. Please note the crude repairs to some of the panels on Beverley station NER footbridge. They haven’t even got the paint to match up properly. But apart from that the class 170 is the star for today. Part pun intended! Best regards, Rob. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 20, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2019 Now, as a result of chasing 170’s I ended up in Bridlington and took some photo’s of how it is today. You can see the remaining semaphores in a couple of the photo’s. More to come next, including the photo’ with the semaphores. Regards, Rob. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 20, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2019 And now a final selection of photo’s, and this one includes the semaphore signals. So, that’s the photo’s for now. I hope you’ve enjoyed them. Best regards, Rob. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved going to Kirkham Abbey SB to do the maintenance, even though we used to get the bus from York and got off at the top of Whitwell Hill and walk down the hill fully laden with all our tools etc. Only downside was at the end of the day we had to walk back up the hill fully laden etc., etc., well knackered by the time I got back - but what a fantastic experience it all was! 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 22, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi, yorkshire66. Those photo’s will do very nicely and help to keep the current day story going. We then have, hopefully, as much material as possible to provide coverage of the history of East Yorkshire railways from the very early days to the present day. So please post your present day photo’s, they will be very welcome. Best regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal lie of points 23 & 25 would appear to tell a story about where they expected the bulk of the traffic to be heading/coming from. The trap end of 14 is also interesting as it basically seem to duplicate 13 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick, What a fascinating track layout - presumably Signal 3 leads to the blue main (for want of a better description) while 41 is in to the adjacent headshunt. I am assuming 42, replacates 41 for what would appear to be a version of bi-di, but Signals 4 and 6 confuse me? Presumably this was to give flexibility and allow fully signalled wrong line running to the approach gantry (45-47)? Run-rounds in the station area must have been interesting, as it would appear to lock out all South Quay lines, and all outbound lines, as I'm assuming the overlaps would cover both 18 and 23 points? Id love to see any pictures from around here from back in the day if anyone has any? Rich 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Rich, the earliest pictures I have date from the 50's. The signalbox was replaced in 1910 when at the same time the entire layout was altered, further alterations were carried out in 1924 when the frame was extended. A new lovking frame was installed in 1958 and again there were alterations. Station Master, the diagram book contains in all seventy two drawings, and I know for fact several contain errors. Best Wishes, Mick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Acknowledging Mick's comment about the accuracy problems the logical lead for 4 would be 14, 15, 16, & 19 assuming it applies to the line immediately to its left. But that might be a big assumption! The logical passenger station run round move would be via the turntable towards 33 then pull 26, 29, 32 & 33 but that implies that such a move would lock up the entire job (except a departure from South Quay) as the next signal in that direction is the one at 19 crossover! And all of that just to get the engine behind 31(which is where it would halt to reverse. A run round move via 36 off the loop would lock up quite a lot but the engine would then need to get behind 19 in order to crossover - it does leave more inward routes free for a while but that's about it's only advantage, and the engine won't have been turned.

micknich2003 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 To put another "Spanner in the Works" there is evidence that in H&BRly practice The Top Arm of "Stacked Signal" ie and for example 4 and 42 in the Alexandra Dock drawing did not as per modern practice read to the most lefthand route. Though a passenger station existed there was no Booked Traffic, the only trains being those for Immigrants Hull to Liverpool etc. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
