lmsforever Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Shame that the Hornsea branch closed I have a dvd filmed on the line with diesels and it looked busy so was it a closure rushed through to balance the books? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

micknich2003 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Here's a nice c1932 picture of Hornsea Bridge, Botanic shed had an allocation of C12's from c1930, and the EYMS bus, is also worth a second glance. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Flashheart Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Are there any photos of class 14s on the Hull to Bridlington line, I've heard they did work the pick up freight but as yet I've not seen any photos of it. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 5, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2015 Firstly, many thanks once more to Mick for the excellent photo's, especially the one of Hornsea Bridge in about 1932. About class 14's, that is the first that I have heard of them working over the line to Bridlington, but, just perhaps, one did. Indeed if anyone can provide some proof, either way, then that would be great. Also thank you for answering my query about that plate on that bridge which I saw yesterday. I think the answer given will be right, for it certainly does not look like a railway plate of any kind. So tonight, it is back to the time of the introduction into service of the class 142 Pacer railbuses on the Hull - Bridlington - Scarborough services. It was at the time of the timetable change in mid-May, 1987. The two photo's date from 15th May, 1987. They are taken at Cherry Tree, Beverley. And the services today are formed mainly of class 158's. With regards, Rob. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete55 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I certainly remember Class 14's regularly working past Hull Grammar School, (which was situated between Cottingham station and Cottingham South box,) usually double headed, hauling trains of lifted track panels circa 1966/7 ish, presumably from the closed Beverley-York line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 5, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thank you pete55. You've jogged my memory! Of course, I think they will have taken that work on when the last of the WD 2-8-0's were withdrawn. I wonder if there are any photo's or videos of them at work on those demolition trains?

micknich2003 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Lord Flasheart, yes, the "14's" did work Brid Goods, I have a photo taken at Anlaby Road Jc, if I can find it, I will post a scan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Not the best of pictures, but one I took from Mr Duggleby's office window when I worked at his shop. The train was double headed by two Austerities, the leading engine is 90352, and indecently, the engine that just over eight years previous had worked the last through train over the H&B from Cudworth to Springhead.

PinzaC55 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Winestead station looking west in August 1977. Like the Selby - Market Weighton line this line was demolished in a sloppy fashion so many of the stations still had their level crossing gates. You have to wonder what would happen if a forward thinking government reopened these lines as with the former Waverley route where many of the trains on the reopened section are full and standing.

Derekstuart Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Re 'Brackenberg sign': Brackenberg was a German industrial conglomerate that entered Britain not long after WW2 and dealt with farm machinery. There are some references on the internet, although with mergers, takeovers and whatnot, it isn't overly clear. Somehow I cannot see any 'normal' person taking a sign from a house and screwing it into a bridge. You'd need a hefty cordless powerdrill to do that and I suggest that sign pre-dates such equipment, meaning someone would have put effort into it. A predecessor to graffiti? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.jpg Superb photo Mick, I've seen pics of them in and around Dairycoates but that's the first I've seen of 1 working off the Brid line,1 of my fellow club members at Hessle MRG used to work on them at Dairycoates, he swapped to be a signalman to get away from the things!Thanks for all your photos, keep them coming.

micknich2003 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The Withernsea to Hull film, though said to be 1957, can't have been made before October 1959. Watch the film, after passing over the Botanic level crossing, the Down Home signals are colour lights and mounted on a bridge, this work was not completed until October 1959, see the attached drawing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
