The last run of the RHTT from York via Stocksbridge & back to York - 2946

            There's no easy way to get the northern view shot on Station Road next to the old station site, so a tele-shot over the road and foot-bridge has to suffice but, away from the direct glare of the sun to the south, the picture has turned out quite well. Once again all the interesting stuff at the lineside has been removed, and now there appears to be a lot of rail-related detritus lying about the place, also refuse which folk have hauled over the bridge wall and on the the track-bed, a problem which has existed here for years. With the sun illuminating the rear loco's, 37425, yellow warning panel, the set makes its way quickly along the 'Old Road' passing the now long-gone southerly connection into Tinsley Yard, could this see a re-connection in the years to come from the container traffic now regularly using the Yard, who knows?? From this direction with the sun illuminated the sky-blue FEA Tank wagons, they don't look half-bad, the old plate-layers hut is off to the right and just beyond the small, a corrugated roofed storage hut.. In the distance, the site of Treeton North Jn. and beyond that the Sheffield Parkway crosses the site, marking the southern extent of Tinsley Yard. This is D.R.S. 37218, ex-D6918, leading and seen here at the back, 37425, ex-D6992, 'Sir Robert McAlpine/Concrete Bob' in 'Regional Railways Livery' on the 'York Leaf Busters' working 3J50 from York Thrall Europa via Stocksbridge & Barrow Hill to Selby. Having arrived at Selby a little early at 14:41, the set wasted no time, the working number changed to 3J51, and of it wen, now to the east towards HUll, for reversal there and then back out to the north via Beverley, Driffield, Bridlington and Scarborough, for reversal, and so back to York Thrall Europa, arriving 24 minutes early at 20:12... Looks like this year's R.H.T.T has now ended, an attempt on Monday morning, to run a service, 3J11, direct to Wrenthorpe Sidings near Wakefield Westgate, was aborted, the working not making it that far before it turned about and went directly back to York, and, that was that... for this year.. maybe!, there being 'rumours' that some of these workings may continue into next year.. we'll see.
