Between 1988 and 1991 the Institute of Mining Engineers organised a series of railtours visiting what was left of the British Coal mining industry as pit closures were becoming more frequent as the industry was being run down. The third 'IME' railtour named the "North Yorkshire Tour" is seen here prior to departure from Sheffield Midland on 08/10/89 at 08.55 with set T023 on the rear working with two 3-car class 116 units. I managed to travel on all the tours but have very few images of them as they were intensive freight line tours mostly in DMUs with no photo stops so any record of them tended to be a grabbed shot before boarding. They ventured to places thought inconceivable a few years earlier, the collieries on this tour were: Goldthorpe, Frickley, South Kirkby, Royston Drift, Grimethorpe, Ledston (Allerton Bywater), Selby New Mine, Kellingley, Sharlston and Woolley Westside not to mention Drax Power station for good measure. Adrian Nicholls.

In the tip siding are 73 119 & 73 103 with spoil train 7Y35 the 08.32 from Redhill Down Tonbridge Branch Sidings. The site was operated by South Godstone Aggregate Ltd who screened and resold railway ballast as roadstone while using an old brickworks pit to dispose of anything arriving that wasn't recyclable like chalk and mud.
