micknich2003 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Signalling diagram for Walton Street, and now the property of James Syoles. Some relocking took place in 1934 when the gates were converted to power working, though the Gate Wheel was retained for emergency use, the wickets continued to be worked by a wheel. At the same time, Road Traffic lights were provided, the first UK application at a level crossing. Some further relocking took place c1957, but this, the original diagram of June 1924, though now amended, remained in use until December 1963 when "Boom Gates" were installed. I have practically every signalling diagram from Hull Paragon to Bridlington Quay, 1875 onwards, and if requested I will willingly put them on here. Though I guarantee, and Sod's Law, I will have every one but the one asked for. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted September 27, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2015 This thread is developing nicely with some great photographs and material. Love those Brid and Filey photos. Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Two 1934 pictures from Walton Street, the Gate Controller remained in in use until December 1963 when the "Boom Gates" were installed. The original traffic lights survived until late summer 1980 when "Modern" versions were installed, these in turn were replached by Flashing lights when the present barriers and alterations were carried out. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Like this thread. Wife from Hull and worked as SHO in Hull Royal infirmary 8/87 till 1/89. Stayed in Dr's flats at Hull Royal and looked directly onto the lines into Hull Paragon. Rarely exciting locomotives passed but seem to remember City of Wells steaming in late one November evening to film a Ferrero Rocher advert? Have some rather dull images that haven't scanned well. My image of Walton St is dreadful so not posted. Some more of Filey. Do have others Cottingham, Hutton Cranswick, Driffield and Nafferton but can't lay my hands on them currently. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 One of the big appeals of the Hull - Scarborough line was that a lot of the signalling was fairly antiquated so you still had a few of the NER Gate Board signals in use though they were too remote for me to get a photo. Many of the crossings still retained their NER enamel nameplates, sometimes painted over as on Thwaite Gates gatebox at Cottingham.

micknich2003 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Gateboard at Wansford, Driffield, worked from the signalbox, lever No41, there was also an identical set up at Beverley. Photographer unknown. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I thought that was a special signal which applied to siding movements rather than being a gate board ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Dread Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I thought that was a special signal which applied to siding movements rather than being a gate board ? Not really, they were a throw back from a by-gone age. If memory serves there were two sets of these signals protecting the level crossings across both the main Hull to Selby line at Staddlethorpe (sorry Gilberdyke) and the Hull to Goole line, just passed their junction. That would be Clementhorpe Lane. In the watchful gaze of you Young Mick. Edited September 27, 2015 by Judge Dread 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Attached signalling diagram of Driffield Wansford. Yes, The Old Gentleman is correct, there were once "Gate Boards" at Staddlethorpe Junctoin. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 27, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thank you for the photo's and the signalling diagrams Mick. More will be very welcome. Tonight I've found two extra photo's of Arram. The first one shows the level crossing, followed by a look along the line towards Beverley, both taken on 11th June, 1988. With best regards, Rob. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted September 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 28, 2015 This is a lovely image Rob. Remove the warning lights from the picture and time has almost stood still. Just need a D49 'Hunt' Class in there too! Thanks for posting. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 My 3 shots of Arram station in 1978. There still a relatively decent train service in those far off days so I had about an hour to kill and spent it chatting to the signalman. It was a more or less unspoilt station though of course it had lost the signalbox and the down side waiting room. Arram Station (1) 17.12.1978 par PinzaC55, on ipernity Note the odd little canopy over the booking office door which was also a feature of Malton & Driffield Railway stations. Also the fact that the building is at 90 degrees to the track.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 29, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well, tonight, I first wish to thank Mick for more excellent photo's, especially those of Walton Street. Now, there's just one photo' from me tonight. It is of A4 4468 Mallard, but before the valances were put in place. I think the photo' dates from April,1988.
