My first job was near hull I started in Sept 89 and used to get trains from Hull up to Beverley or Cottingham depending where I was lodging. Cant believe its nigh on 35 years ago!
i was brought up on this line, have a collection of a number of the signal boxes that where swept away with open crossings. As well the transition from 1st to 2nd generation dmu's. I think Doncaster control nock named it the 'cuckoo line'. never haf this confirmed.
He sounds the same chap on an old short hst cab clip from Newcastle northbound to Heaton, he's an Inspector I presume. On the clip he seemed confused about the road between the then closed Quayside branch and Trafalgar yard near Manors Station. It actually crossed the main line and was the place where a goods train collided with a driverless electric train in the 1920's! He did describe electric ground indicator signals as cats eyes though, a term I hadn't heard before.

Love this line and video, any chance of the full version rather than highlights.
We see Gristhorpe but not Cayton, where there is a level crossing but no station (but where I used to live).
What sort of train were they on ?
l see later , it looks like a Pacer !

driving on the left scares me. In a train it looks even more frightening
Once upon a time . . . . there was a short line down to a quay at Bridlington. It's shown on maps. That 'voice' is clueless . . .
