The Colas R.H.T.T. season continues on day 4 at Woodburn Junction - 4226+231

            Making a spirited dash from the Darnell Station area as quickly as possible, with busy traffic slowing things up, and following behind the receding RHTT as it headed towards Woodburn. Arrival was made easily with the set just beyond the Woodburn Road over bridge, its red lights at the back still on, but just briefly, before changing to white, so the drivers had already changed end. The last picture at Darnall was taken at 11:57 and the 1st one here, with the set at the other side of Woodburn bridge, with 66849 sat in the shadow, with its red lights still on, was taken at 12:02:37, so, not a bad shift of locale.. the lights switched to white, just 20 seconds later and 1 minute later, it was off, now 42 mins late. From here it is supposed to go directly into Sheffield, as shown in the time-table, for its reversal move, spending a half hour on the Down Slow Line between platforms 1 & 2, but today, due to the late running, it did not do that, reversing here instead, and so by the time it trundled along the Lower Don Valley line, as shown in these pictures, it was on time! Crossing over the Down and Up Lincoln lines then onto the short double-track section on to the single track Don Valley Line towards Tinsley & Rotherham Central is Colas Rail class 66s, 66849, 'Wylam Dilly' now leading with 66847, 'Terry Baker' at the back on the Thursday R.H.T.T. 'Rail Head Treatment Train', diagram, 3S14, from Woodburn Junction via Sheffield, but not today, then Hatfield & Stainforth and back along the Midland line to Masbrough Station South Junction. Here it will reverse for the last time today and head off back north on the 3S15, Masbrough S.S.Jn. via Normanton to York Thrall Europa. The other 3 moves today were-
3S11 York Thrall Europa via Penistone to Sheffield
3S12 Sheffield via Wakefield Kirkgate & Rotherham Central to Sheffield
3S13 Sheffield via Gainsborough Central to Woodburn Junction

The state of play with the burgeoning shrub and tree growth in the area of Woodburn Junction, is easy to see, the section of line around the corner to Shirland LAne looking like a small forest... I'd be surprised if there wasn't a complaint from the drivers soon, about all this..
