The Yorkshire Pudden railtour 1983.

[Ashley Hill]

I was on the F&W railtour The Yorkshire Pudden which ran on the 02/4/1983 and have clear memories of passing through the derelict Sheffield Victoria station. My pamphlet from the tour and Six Bells Jct confirm the route and traction.
Can anyone recall the dates when the line between Huddersfield Junction and Deepcar was closed and lifted? It’s not in my 1984 Baker atlas.

Hurst’s directory gives complete closure as 16 May 1983.
