Pleased to see the box is still standing, even if it is out of use and boarded up.

It has been like that for getting on 20 years now.

Pretty sure it is a listed building, but nobody knows what to do with it!

Typical of our insane obsession with listing buildings. It is a fairly standard box of which, I think, there are still other examples out there.

 

As to use though, I am sure that there are railway enthusiasts who would happily use it as a holiday let (bedroom and bathroom downstairs, kitchen living room upstairs).

[31A]

I don't think there are so many of that particular type left now actually, although there would have been at the time it was listed.  Rigton and Horsforth on the Harrogate line come to mind but both knocked down a few years ago.  The NYMR's box at Grosmont Level Crossing is similar in style, although it is a new build.

Must be six or seven years since I was last at Howden, and felt sure it would have been demolished by now!  Didn't realise it was listed though.

I suspect Network Rail would prevent such use as being too close to the railway, risk of injury if windows were opened, lack of ability to maintain the exterior rail side/clean windows etc.  It would have to be moved, which given the brick structure, probably makes such things too expensive unless a grant of some sort could be sought and obtained....

Well, that's their call. It does not look too difficult to me from that photo but I don't know the location. The alternative is large bills to maintain it in a fit state without any income. They certainly don't seem to be maintaining it in a fit state at the moment.

Good evening, everyone. I like the discussion about Howden box. I’ve wondered about it myself, including the box at Gilberdyke and Cave. What will happen to those two boxes? I know Cave is a former gatebox, but, hopefully, both can be saved. 
 

Well, tonight, I have a photo’ of Ferriby, by Richard Hart, on Flickr, from the summer of 1970, showing a class 110 DMU leaving. No other details are available.

Great picture Rob , I didn't realise the slow lines were out of use as early as this

It is in "pretty good nick" considering the length of time it has been boarded up. Can't see it being used for anything in its current location, not even as a Pway out-post office (like Riccall South was for a time).

Good evening, everyone. This evening I have a photo’ by ricsrailpics, on Flickr, of Bridlington in August, 1976, with a four car class 104 DMU departing for Hull.

I assume the tanks on the loco are part of condensing gear (I can see the return pipe from the smoke box) to avoid large amounts of exhaust steam so allowing enemy gunners to range on the loco.

Yes, as recounted by P. M. Kalla-Bishop in Locomotives at War, p 32. WD 180 and 197 were tried on the Martin Mill Military Railway but found to be incapable of shifting the 320 tons of gun (13.5") and ammunition wagon up some of the gradients. Normal power was one of the Armstrong Whitworth 0-6-0 diesel shunters.

Nice to see a proper 4 car set Rob , can't have been many around by that time

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, russ p, I seem to recall quite a few four car 104’s in use on the Hull to Scarborough line until about 1980 when the numbers reduced quite a lot. I know some sets went to East Anglia, and some to Scotland. But being unrefurbished, they were, of course, withdrawn early. 
Well, tonight I have another photo’ by ricsrailpics on Flickr, and it is a portrait shot of B16/3, 61463, at Bridlington, on the 16th August, 1963.

I was passing through Foggathorpe and wondered what was left of the station. Well, it seems not much. 

 

There are other images but they're too big according to RMWeb. 

 

This is  looking toward Bubwith along what was once the trackbed...

Ex H&BRly Class J No37 at Springhead19 August 1931. E Bay buy.

Cliffe station as was. I am baffled that Wressle, which is tiny, has an operating station, whereas Clffe is much bigger, and has had substantial development recently, doesn't.

The station at Cliffe was actually named Hemingbrough, probably to avoid confusion with Cliffe Common or possibly because Hemingbrough was a bigger village , there are some photographs of the station on Ebay  looking at them it would seem that it was in fact a small station

Thanks Graham. Typical railway though. Hemingbrough is some miles away and nowhere near the line but the building is slap bang in the middle of Cliffe!

August 1965, Mr Draper's Knackers Yard.

[JeffP]

There were A1's there in the last days of steam.

He cut them up and preserved ANOTHER black 5.

Some memories there Mick, I remember the excitement when the 4Fs were dragged past our house, the first ones l had seen and the first locos with the cab side stripe, previously only seen in photos in my brothers Railway Magazine.
