Good evening, everyone. Well, for this evening, we go to York, at the Layerthorpe staion, in the summer of 1977, thanks to a photo’ by jsb303, on Flickr. It shows the sole preserved J72, on a short passenger train of Mkl carriages. Sad that the line, as preserved, was not successful.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we go back to Filey Holiday Camp station on it’s opening day back in May, 1947, thanks to a photo’ by jsb303 on Flickr. We can see class B1 Gnu, at the head of what may have been a special train for opening ceremony. There are some Gresley carriages in the adjacent platform, although whether they had been in service is unclear. Please note all the people on the platform. If only the Camp had been used so well over the years it may have survived for longer than it did.

The days of air travel for the masses and cheap package holidays were not far away in the future. Not good for what was the traditional UK holiday camps. 
Great photo as always Rob, please keep them coming!!

Regards. 
Bill

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Bill, for your kind comments and also your thoughts about the fairly short life of the holiday camps. I know you’re right, but they live on in photo’s and memories. Well, this evening, we go back to Hull, and take a look at a class 31, courtesy of the KDH archive on Flickr. It is the 24th July, 1977, with 31316 on the Cricket Ground Curve, working an unidentified Bridlington to Sheffield service - maybe the 09.30 departure?

 

Best regards,

A c1957 derailment at Hull Beverley Road. As was the practice then, the remains of the damaged wagons have been pushed to one side, "We have trains to run, we can do the paperwork another day".

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for that fascinating photo’ of the derailment at Hull, Beverley Road. You’re absolutely right, times have changed so much since then. Is thete anymore information about the derailment or is it all lost to time?

Well, this evening, thanks to a photo’ by Neville Wellings, on Flickr, we go to Hull Paragon station and see 55022 on the 20th September, 1980. Sadly there is no other information in this case.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Well, for this evening, courtesy of a photo’ by Woolwinder on Flickr, is a look, once again, at the onetime Derwent Valley Light Railway. The date is the 22nd August, 1979, and shows the only preserved class J72, Joem, working a three carriage train from York Layerthorpe to Dunnington, with the photo’ taken from a bridge over the line.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we sprint across to Selby to see, thanks to a photo’ by Syd Young, on Flickr, a HST passing a class 111, DMU, on a London King’s Cross express. The leading power car is E43100. The DMU has a DMBS leading and is car E50134, introduced in 1957, a power trailer two car set. Two Rolls-Royce engines powered it. The DMU will be departing to York.

A bit of a rarity,  refurbished with original for marker lights 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Well, russp, that is indeed a rarity with that refurbished class 111 DMBS having all four lamps still on its cab end. I haven’t had chance to look, but maybe the railcar site will have all the information about it.

Well, this evening we go back to Hull, and a photo’ of a train on the Cricket Ground curve, courtesy of a photo’ by the KDH archive, on Flickr. It shows a somewhat unusual sight of a train of Mkl carriages - nine - of which seven are either BSK’s or BCK’s. The train is indentified as the 11.30 Bridlington to Bradford service, on the 9th June, 1979, hauled by 31156. 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Well, for this evening we stay in Hull, thanks to another photo’ by the KDH archive on Flickr, and visit Botanic Gardens Depot on a day in May, 1981. There’s no real detail available, but one of the class 20’s is 20025.

 

Best regards,

To correct the locomotive number.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening we go to the south west of East Yorkshire in Goole, and see some engines on the MPD in April, 1962, thanks to a photo’ by dubdee, on Flickr. We can see WD 90262, 90160 and an Ivatt Flying Pig, 43125, amongst the others. 
 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. Well for this evening I have a photo’ of Seamer, courtesy of JohnGreyTurner on Flickr. It is from c July, 1971, and has class 45 Peak, number 108 heading train 1E04 from Birmingham to Scarborough on that bright summers day.

Hi

A couple questions please:

 

1. I guess there may not be an answer but how did a Hull -Gatwick service come about & presumably a return service?

 

2. This pic would seem to show a Class 4 on a 5 maybe 6 coach train. Did this service have another portion join somewhere to better justify the front end power?

The service is actually a Hull-Sheffield-Brighton not a Gatwick. It was the return working of the Paddington-Hull service, which split at Sheffield  with the rear portion going to Leeds. These portions reunited at Sheffield with the Leeds section now at the front, the loco off the Hull portion remains at Sheffield. As to locos the Paddington engine came off at New Street, with a loco fresh off Saltley going forward, A 31 would work the Leeds section forward and then work through to New Street , where another loco fresh off Saltley would work to the South coast.

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Al Taylor, for the detailed explanation about the train seen in yesterday’s photo’. So this evening, thanks again, to the KDH archive on Flickr, we go west of Hull to near to the Humber Bridge to see 31410 on a four coach train which was on the 09.41 Manchester to Hull service on the 24th November, 1984. 

 

Best regards,

Thanks Al.

I had remembered the Paddington / Brighton trains - it was the Gatwick bit that threw me! 

 

Still a really odd overall working though - does anyone know if there was a Brighton to Paddington balancing working? Or am I asking too much here??!?

Another puzzled, but interested, reader. Why Paddington not one of the more logical start points for Sheffield of either St P or Kings X, was  it a time of engineering diversions or similar? Perhaps when Kings X was being remodelled.
