This is a nice collection. I've not seen some of these before. I wonder what the loads were under the sheets in the pic @1:09? The pic @2:25 may well be the last train *returning via* North Bridge, but it's not North Bridge itself, this is platform 4 at Halifax. The clock is helpfully showing 7.22. The last inbound train was due to arrive from Keighley at 7.19. A parcels train would have left for Bradford at 8.05 but did not return. Following closure of the line to passenger traffic, the 8.05 parcels train continued to run, but went via Low Moor. Many thanks for putting this together! Best wishes, Ed.
Great pics Niggle, sort of horror pics some of the destruction of the infrastructure!
Great post! Many ive not seen before! I hope you have more of the High Level line hiding away!
I really enjoyed those pictures, thanks.
