Indomitable026 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Wey - Hey !! Here's an odity I came across today...... image.jpg A double bufferstop !! Back to the double-sided bufferstop does anyone have an idea what it would be used for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2013 Back to the double-sided bufferstop does anyone have an idea what it would be used for? To save placing two back to back? And before anyone dismisses that idea as the loony murmurings of a senior person I do know of a place where it was done - and on a passenger line where trains from one direction terminated on one side of the stop blocks and trains from the opposite direction terminated on the other side. I have also seen it done occasionally in sidings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2013 Back to the double-sided bufferstop does anyone have an idea what it would be used for? Perhaps back-to-back sidings where there are private sidings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Dave Yes Dave, although from what I can recall it didn't last all that long as the Sully service was withdrawn completely not all that long after the split was introduced.

yorkie_pudd Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) In the early 80`s just before Harrogate goods yard was torn up in 84` and turned in to the now asda store. The two tracks that serviced the goods and the shell fuel depot further down had two lines. the line closer to Dragon road side had a brief double buffer installed so one side was a storage line for shell depot, and the other as headshunt for the goods yard. This line was torn up and now acts as a walk/cycle path from rear of asda dragon road car park to claro road passing under the A59 Harrogate to Skipton road. At the point of the old shell depot and iron crossing bridge as now gone. edit: spelling doh Edited November 16, 2013 by yorkie_pudd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
