Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Rob, for photo’ which you took of that special train. It’s good seeing it at Ferriby. Well, this evening, I have a photo’ by Graeme Phillips, on Flickr, of a class 124 unit on a Hull to Liverpool service on the 10th October, 1977. The Humber Bridge is under construction in the background.

 

Best regards,

Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you, Railpassion, for today’s update on Bridlington. It’s most interesting to see the progress being made, and I think I understand where the crossover is to go, which will be to the south of where the line from number 3 - using the new platform numbers - joins the up main. If not then trains would not get to number 3 on coming in from Hull. 
Well, this afternoon, I have a photo’ by  SIMON BEESTON, on Flickr, of a class 37, 37032, in about 1983. No other details are known.

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for the date of that photo’. Now, this evening, courtesy of David Scott on Flickr, the first of two photo’s, in which we go to May, 1975, and a very ordinary photo’ of an everyday train. It’s an unknown class 20 at the head of the pick up freight train from Bridlington to Hull. It is on the approach to Cottingham North signal box.

Now we stay in Cottingham, and I think that it is still May, 1975, but this time, on the pick up freight from Bridlington are two class 20’s, again no numbers for them.

Russ, yes the normal livery ones are the ex second class ones that were used in IIRC the GE boat trains and some Motorail trains ex York.

 

I have an identical photo to the above as I was stood next to David on that day, being former work colleagues and old friends.

I believe the ex second class Pullmans were used as first class coaches in normal service so would actually be slightly inferior to conventional first class coaches as they had 2+2 seating instead of the normal first class 2+1

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, russ p, and Simon Lee, for the information about those Pullman cars. Now, this evening, courtesy of another photo’ by David Scott, on Flickr, we are at Hull Paragon station on the 12th April, 1978. There is a class 37, 37174, backing onto the air conditioned stock of the 13.12 to London King’s Cross. Note the tail lamps on the platform.  Apparently it would have been a 31/4, but it must have been having some kind of issue/s.

The 31s around this time were having a problem with piston rings. These had been made by a different manufacturer and were machined the same as previous, this led to oil throwing from recently overhauled power units. The two lamps on the platform would suggest the coaches are connected to the ETH shore supply.

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Al Taylor, for the information regarding the class 31’s. That is something which I was not aware of, and it’s interesting to learn about the use of those two tail lamps too.

Now, this evening, another photo’ by David Scott on Flickr, reveals a class 123/124 Trans-Pennine unit at Chalk Lane, Hull. It was working the 11.22  service to Sheffield, on the 6th March, 1984..

Is it an optical illusion or are those headlights in the former route indicator box uneven?

 

One for the prototype for everything thread for those of us who don’t get the drill holes for the etched parts quite right!

It's an optical illusion. I made up all those panels using lamps off withdrawn BRCWs.

Good evening, everyone. That’s a great photo’ of 45593, Kolhapur, from the 5th June, 1965, which you have posted, Simon Lee. It’s much appreciated. Well, this evening, time to go to the present day and a look at Beverley station from last Thursday, the 18th November, 2021. The photo’, which I took, shows a class 155 unit, 155342, on the 14.28 to York, soon to be withdrawn.

 

 

Best regards,

Are the 155s soon to be withdrawn Rob?  Bit of a shame I have a bit of a soft spot for them being a Leyland product 

[Market65]

Hi, russ p. No, the 155’s are keeping going, it’s the Bridlington, Hull, and York service which is being withdrawn from the timetable change in December. My fault for not having made things a bit clearer. 
 

Regards,

 

 Rob.
