A "Lincoln Set" class 114 approaches Woodhouse station with a Lincoln - Sheffield working in 1974. As can be seen, Woodhouse yard was still busy at this time, albeit mostly as an overflow for Beighton Junction PW yard, and was shunted every morning by a trip from Tinsley. In later years, the loops to the right of the running lines were used by MGR trains to run-round before heading to Cottam or West Burton power stations. John Crooks.
In 1974 a "Lincoln Set" pauses at Woodhouse station, Sheffield, on it's way back to it's home base. The slow lines which passed around the back of the platforms were still in regular use at this time, and above the train can be seen the last gantry of the "MSW" electrified lines from Manchester via Woodhead. Rotherwood exchange sidings, a regular haunt of mine, is situated above the RH end of the station footbridge. John Crooks.
E50001 with it's non-standard destination blind box stands at Doncaster after arriving from Lincoln. Robert Chilton Collection.
With a van on the rear (and tail lamp at this end!), a Class 114 at Sheffield Midland on 10/5/74. John Reddyhoff.
A Cleethorpes bound diesel multiple unit leaves Thorne South station on the Doncaster to Scunthorpe section of the old Ms&LR / Great Central line, May 15th, 1974. Pete LG99.
The open wasteland that the Great Central Railway at Thorne South in South Yorkshire became after rationalisation. The station, opened in 1864, is on the old Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, later Great Central Railway, line from Sheffield to Grimsby. Taken on 15th May 1974, the permanent way hut on the right sits in isolation & what once was an island platform with goods lines to the right is now an unusally wide bare expanse against which the Scunthorpe bound dmu is waiting. Access to the platforms used to be via a dark subway with steps up. Today this has been swept away & new basic platforms closer to the South Common estate have been built behind the camera. To the left is the old stationmaster's house now in private hands & being extended. Pete LG99.
The 5.32pm Lincoln - Derby service is seen just East of Thurgarton station on May 27th, 1974, headed by E50038. Michael Mensing.
Arriving in to the short platforms of Thurgarton station is the 3.32pm Lincoln - Derby service on May 27th, 1974. The power (furthest vehicle) is E50038. Michael Mensing.
A Class 114 DMU with York on the destination blind in Selby station on 1 June 1974. Stuart Mackay Collection.
E50001 and E56017 departs from Doncaster on 11 August 1974. Paul James.
Barrow Hill station on the 22nd September 1974, with a DMU shuttle to Chesterfield in connection with the depot open day. From right to left is a 114 (DMBS is 50010), a 2-car 101 and a 3-car 104. Ian Francis.
December 1974 A dull mid-winter's day in South Yorkshire and a dmu for Hull enters Stainforth & Hatfield station from Doncaster to the south - note the steam-age red tail lamp - next stop Thorne North. The station and four track main line dates from the Great Central Railway's 1912 rebuild. The entrance was via the lane on the extreme right as it is today to the recently rebuilt station. That lane runs down from the Stainforth to Hatfield road just past the bridge from which the photo was taken in December 1974. Hatfield colliery's infrastructure looms over the scene and the railway & yards look like hives of activity. Pete LG99.
A 2-car 114 having reached it's destination of Cleethorpes, probably from New Holland. Undated. Ian Francis.
A Class 114 2-car unit seen in one of the bay platforms at York station, on a Sheffield service. Taken with my basic Kodak Brownie using 120 roll film. Chris McKee.
