The last time? - a photo on Flickriver

The last time?

            For a few years now the speculation has been that 'this will be the last year of Class 20 operation on the Yorkshire/Humberside RHTT circuit'. However like ageing rockers the old stagers keep coming back for a final encore.

The class 20's (built between 1957 and 1968) still cling on, the key to survival being their ability to traverse routes with weight restrictions such as the Hull to Scarborough line.

20305 and 20303 restart (with associated magnificent noise), after a brief pause for a crew change at Gilberdyke.

It will almost certainly be a last time for the Gilberdyke semaphores. After many delays it looks like the re-signalling is finally due to take place before the close of the year.
