I Did try and find timetables for them but drew a blank. I was living 100 miles away then

Wasnt there someone who ran a few buses west of Settle in the years you mention. Something red bus I half remember.

Clas 33/2 narrow body for Hastings line. Known as 'Slim Jim's

KIngs Norton and Longbridge. After Longbridge it was a 2 track railway to Barnt Green. Unless they have changed it in the last 8 years. But they did bromsgrove electrification after I left the W Mids. Kings Norton - Longbridge was mostly span wires. How difficult it would be converting the span...

Thanks for the date. I thought around then.

Carlisle had a huge overall roof. It was cut back to its current extent but the high walls remain. The canopies that replaced the overall roof look post ww2. Someone on here will know the story.

@YorksLad12 there was a plan in the 60/70's for a Pudsey - Dishforth motorway running west of leeds through Pudsey and Horsforth, then near Harrogate. They went east of Leeds instead as an M1 extension.

Bottom pic has a nice pre led position light ground signal and an LNER type speed restriction sign. The box between the speed testricyion sign and the points had facilities for hand winding the points. Anyone know the points type? I assume part of the Edinburgh PSB installation

Thete a wide quadrant between the Harrogate Line and the line through Crossgates with no rail route. Only the circituous route from Crossgates to Wetherby is gone. Which is why trams up Headingley Lane, Chapletown Rd, Roundhay Rd and York Road did so well Not sure a heavy rail into N Leeds...

Settle is heaving on a weekend. And nearby Horton in Ribblesdale is rammed with walkers cars while they do the 3 peaks.

Why is settle sunday bus free zone (except for 1 return from Hawes) but Grassington, Richmond, Leyburn, Ingleton, Hawes get buses. Cos it has a few trains?
