RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 4, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2020 Good evening, everyone, and I like that signal, Mick, you’ve made an excellent job of that model. Now, tonight, I have a photo’ by Philip Wheldale on Flickr, of the occasion at Beverley station when a HST power car, number 43053, was named there. It was the 10th April, 1984. 43053 by Philip Wheldale, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 16, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2020 Good afternoon, everyone. Firstly I now own my copy of that excellent book. It’s certainly very well researched and I’m enjoying reading it. Now, this afternoon, I have a photo’ by ricsrailpics on Flickr, of a class B1, number 61303, at platform 8, on an unknown excursion train, with a Gresley BSO leading. Date is unknown, but probably the early sixties. Class B1 61303 Bridlington Excursion platform. by ricsrailpics, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Andy 53B Posted November 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi Rob, how long did it take for the book to arrive under current restrictions, just wondering when I can expect mine, Cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 17, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2020 Good evening, Andy. I bought the book off Bill Hudson, and, at second class parcel rate, it took one week. So you should not be too concerned about ordering a copy. I hope this helps. Best regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Andy 53B Posted November 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thanks Rob, I've already ordered mine direct from NERA as there were a couple of other bits I needed, Cheers Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON6135 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 One of the last of this season's RHTT duties waits time under Beverley station's roof. Will we see the twenties back again next year? Who knows, maybe! All the best to you all for the coming season, stay safe. Simon 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

97xx Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) I worked in Hull '89-93, commuting Su-Fr from the South East, the Sunday journey making the most of what was I recall 'Weekend First' where for initially £3, and latterly a fiver, you could use 1st on the 17:20 direct HST from KX. I've always tended to take an interest in the railways of 'where I've been' and acquired the splendid book 'More Illustrated History of the Railways of Hull' by W.B.Yeadon, pub. 1995, rep. 2006. The 'More' points to this being a follow on to the earlier version. Great book. Fascinating thread, and the book has several of the 'photos I've seen here, plus lots more.

97xx Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 A couple of questions if I may: Looking at the latest track plans, it seems Gilberdike junction has been doubled? I remember getting held up there on a Friday night from Hull trying to make a connection at Doncaster. Has Saltend now lost its rail connection? In my day there was a weekly acid train to Baglan Bay.
