The Autumn East Yorkshire RHTT diagram continues, Bempton Station - 2782+1892+882+896

Finally, at the end of this second week of RHTT.. a quick decamp in bright, windy weather to what is probably the last 'wayside' country station on this section of line, the others being Filey, Hunmanby, Bempton(here), Flamborough(disused), Bridlington(in use), Carnaby(disused), Burton Agnes(disused) and Nafferton. South of Nafferton and all still in use, are Driffield, Hutton Cranswick, Arram, Beverley, Cottingham, then Hull Paragon terminus. As an aside, which is what I usually do, some pictures which relate to the local surroundings, here it is the R.S.P.B. bird sanctuary at Bempton Cliffs which have been visited on several occasions, it being just a 5 minute drive from the station, and is well worth the effort of visiting, see-
www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/bempton-...
These first 4 pictures were taken, at upper left, yesterday, as a run of the RHHT at the weekend was noted and which I hadn't seen/noticed in the time-table before, so this may be the first time out on a Saturday. The other 3 shots were taken 6 months ago on a Spring day in April, just before the Puffins start their June/July nesting season; these being one of the main attractions for visiting, at that time. The shots show the activities of the Gannets which populate the area and they too are in the nesting season mode, as the 3 shots show. I have been 'sitting' on these for most of the year, wondering what to do with them... today, with a visit to Bempton Station, it seemed to be the ideal opportunity to 'weave' them into the narrative, as the site isn't all that far away. At upper left, one of the hourly south-bound services from Scarborough, this one, 1J47, en-route for Hull and then on to Sheffield with class 170, 170459, it having stopped to pick up a single passenger, in front of Bridlington's BN112 'up-line' signal. This is a single-track formation here so the line is both 'up' and 'down', the signal however is for the 'up' direction.
Looks like the Gannet at upper right is making quite a nest for itself and some 'youngsters' are already holding heads high for the 'drop' of some food!
