Is Hull Paragon platform one ever used these days?

I know it’s quite short but it should be able to handle a four car service?

Doing an advanced search on OTT, there is nothing booked into or out of P1 for the foreseeable future...that includes non-passenger movements. One for a pacer railtour maybe?!!

They'll occasionally shove a 158 that's bone idle at that point in time there, but apart from that, nada.

I guess they can cope with the middle six at present.

Sounds good but will Northern listen to us?

No Platform 1 has not been used for years! It is out of use because of curvature and track. All the other former platforms are in use for stabling (Originally 11, 12, 13 and 14). Now known as A-E Roads (There is a track between). TPE want it back in use and discussions have taken place but some silly costs have been quoted. There is a severe shortage of stabling at Hull overnight.

What’s the difference in curvature compared to 2 and 3?

Everything using those platforms usually squeals around the platform curves.

Not sure but definitely issues with Platform 1. I have been in meetings with Network Rail when it has been discussed. There are also restrictions on some of the passenger platforms that reduces the use of traction.
