Doncaster also has a Platform 0. It caters for terminating trains from Hull and Scunthorpe (when the later run that is, as Scunthorpe stoppers are currently buses!)

Have you considered contacting SUSTRANS? Their subsidiary company Railway Paths own a number of former railway lines and structures around the country, the Spen Valley route and Great Northern Trail being two in West Yorkshire.

It forms part of the line from the Midland Railway (Rotherham Masborough to Normanton) at near Royston to Saville Town at Dewsbury. The most notable part being Criggleston Viaduct. I believe the section east of Criggleston village is useable. I remember using it nearly 20 years ago. However many...

Worcestershire Parkway is possibly going to open in 2020, perhaps Spring, or later. Old Moore’s Almanac may have details

Doncaster platform 2 - a south facing bay only used to stable stock. The EMR Lincoln’s could use it, but don’t! No other services can’t use it as it doesn’t connect to the Sheffield lines and is too short for normal LNER trains. Maybe a 5 car Azusa would fit, but no southbound service trains...

Isn’t the only bus service First’s X50 Worcester -Pershore -Evesham? This runs hourly along the main road ( a walk away) from around 07.00 to 18.00. Not very inviting even if you live in the Redhill area of Worcester. Joined up public transport isn’t really something that happens in Worcestershire

I assumed it was Skegness, but I haven’t been for decades so could be wrong!

I understand these are Teresa May’s Red Lines and won’t apply once we float off into the Atlantic!

Sounds good to me . Bloody autocorrect!!

Thorne North down side - only accessible via footbridge ( steps, no ramp) or longer flight of steps down to main road. Up side has level access from car park. Barrow crossing went some time ago, especially as Thorne North only has part time booking clerk now. Wheelchair (& others with mobility...

It should benoted that bus services between Sheffield and Buxton struggle. At one time there was a service via Baslow and Bakewell to Buxton (& even Hanley). That died some time ago. The 65 bus route vis Fox House, Eyam and Tideswellwas commercial and about every two hours, however last year the...

As I understood it, the settlement now known as Nelson (Lancs) was called Marsden. However the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway had a Marsden station (Huddersfield) and chose to call the Lancashire station Nelson. Since the coming of the railway led to a rapid development of a textile mill town...

Google swing bridge over the River Ouse carries frequent passenger trains and freight. It is on the direct line between Doncaster and Hull (Thorne junction to Gillberdike station - not sure if the junction is still called Staddethorpe). According to Wikipedia the speed limit is 60mph for...

Stations in Greater Manchester are supported by the PTE (or TfGM) like similar ones in South and West Yorkshire. In order to encourage drivers to use them (and because there was no easy way to collect parking charges) use was free of charge. So popular are many now that there are no available...

The driver is supposed to pull up with the leading passenger door next to the Harrington Hump (i.e. Just level with his/her cab window). That is how the raised platform was installed at Harrington's southbound platform.

At Doncaster there are lockers available in the adjacent Frenchgate Centre. From top of steps from the station subway turn left, passing WH Smith's, go up escalator (I.e. Towards shopping centre) and lockers are on your right hand side at top. Literally 3 minutes from the station platforms. With...

Isn't there still a subway at Starbeck - next to the road?

The 08.49 ex Leeds is regularly noted in Northern's Journey Check page as being reduced to 2 carriages- both before and after re-opening of the full route. Given that the incoming journey is always full and standing this scenario must persuade Aire Valley passengers to use the electrics!

There are, of course, more frequent and regular Bus Links with East Midlands Airport. Skyline buses run to Derby Midland, Loughborough and Leicester as well as Long Easton station and Nottingham. Both routes have a twenty minute service though the journey time to Long Easton is almost half an...

The Platform website also shows a taxi rank (with only one 'London' type taxi!) outside the pedestrian entrance, so I doubt much credence can be awarded to an 'artists impression. The Rotunda building also seems to exclude the Cycle Point!
