Berwick-upon-Tweed - Chathill

Tweedmouth railway station
Tweedmouth railway station served the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland, England. It was located on the East Coast Main Line. As well as a railway station for passengers, it was also the main service yard and goods yard between Newcastle upon Tyne and Edinburgh. Also Tweedmouth station was the terminus for the Tweed Valley Railway line (opened in 1849), which connected the East Coast Main Line with the Waverley Line at Newtown St. Boswells. The station lies to the south of the Royal Border Bridge.
It was opened on 29 March 1847<ref name="Body, p. 171">Body, p. 171</ref> and initially was the terminus on the East Coast Main Line as the Royal Border Bridge was not yet complete, so trains could not pass over the River Tweed. Once the Royal Border Bridge had been completed in 1850 and opened by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, trains had an unbroken run from London to Edinburgh.
The station closed on 15 June 1964 (along with the Kelso branch<ref name="Body, p. 171"/>), a victim of the Beeching Axe. The platforms and disused station buildings still survive however, along with a number of engineers' sidings and a power signal box that supervises the main line from the Scottish border southwards towards Alnmouth.

Chathill

Chathill railway station
Chathill railway station serves the village of Chathill in Northumberland, England, and the nearby villages of Seahouses, Embleton, Bamburgh and Belford.
Although located on the East Coast Main Line, the station is served by just two arrivals and departures, Mondays to Saturdays, providing commuting links to and from Newcastle upon Tyne. The services are operated by Northern Rail, which also manages the station. As Chathill is the northern terminus of these services and the Northern Rail network, there are no direct connections between Chathill and stations further north (the Diesel Multiple Unit used on these services runs empty northwards from here to Belford loop to reverse before returning to take up its southbound working).
Between 1898 and 1951, Chathill was the southwestern terminus of the North Sunderland Railway. Independent until its final closure, it formed a standard gauge rail link to the fishing village of Seahouses (Wright, 1988).

Darlington - Northallerton

Eryholme railway station
Eryholme railway station, sometimes referred to as Dalton Junction, was a railway station located on the East Coast Main Line between Northallerton and Darlington in North Yorkshire, England. It was the start of the now closed Eryholme-Richmond branch line.
Passing the site today passengers on the East Coast main Line would be hard pressed to pinpoint the location of Eryholme, as all signs of the station have been demolished.
The station probably saw its greatest number of passengers during World War II as it was the drop off point for servicemen arriving at the nearby RAF Croft.
The station could be revived to serve Croft Circuit which is now on the site of RAF Croft. The volume of passengers on race days alone would make the revival worthwhile and help to ease the traffic congestion on the nearby roads. However the limited availability of train paths on the East Coast Main Line, especially for slow stopping services, means such a reopening is highly unlikely.

Cowton railway station
Cowton railway station is a disused station on the East Coast Main Line, it is situated in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire in England the station is situated around 0.5 mi east of the village of East Cowton.

Hambleton Junction
Hambleton Junction is a grade-separated railway junction near Selby, North Yorkshire, England, which connects the East Coast Main Line with the Leeds to Selby Line.
The junction was opened in 1983 as part of the Selby Diversion, which diverted the East Coast Main Line away from the Selby coalfield. The Leeds to Selby Line passes over the East Coast Main Line on a bridge. Sharply-curved chords allow southbound trains on the East Coast Main Line to head eastwards towards Selby (and vice versa), and eastbound trains heading away from Leeds to join the southbound East Coast Main Line (and vice versa).
The junction is regularly used by Northern Rail services between York and Selby.
At present only the East Coast Main Line running under the junction is electrified, however previous east coast rail operator GNER proposed electrifying the Leeds to Selby Line as far as this junction and its east-south chord. Though GNER lost its franchise in 2007, electrification of the line appears to be part of the plans for East Leeds Parkway station which was allocated funding in April 2008.

Doncaster (St. James' Bridge) railway station
Doncaster (St. James' Bridge) railway station was situated in the Hexthorpe area of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England and was accessed from St. James' Bridge, the main road link between Doncaster town centre and the railway community of Hexthorpe. The station was a little nearer Doncaster than the South Yorkshire Railway's Doncaster (Cherry Tree Lane) railway station being less than a mile south of the main station, adjacent to the Sheffield line.
The station, which consisted of a single island platform, was built by the LNER to serve excursion traffic, principally that bringing visitors to the town in connection with the St. Leger horse racing festival held each September although it was also used for seaside excursions leaving (or passing through) the town heading for the east coast, principally to Cleethorpes. (Those not required to stop would usually be routed via the Doncaster Avoiding Line due to pressure of space). This station, adjacent to carriage sidings where incoming trains could be stored also relieved the pressure of platform space in the town's main station.
Access was by a substantial wooden ramp, stepped on one side, plain slope for cyclists on the other, from St. James' Bridge, a favourite place for trainspotters with views over the East Coast Main Line and the Sheffield bound line. Platform facilities were minimal and consisted of a small office, used by the staff which came from the main station as needed.
Because the station never had a regular timetabled service it did not appear in timetables, only in "Special Traffic Notices" when it was to be used. This also means that closure notices were not required when it was no longer needed by the demands of traffic and an official closure date not recorded. It was, however, in use until the late 1950s, but possibly even later.
The station platforms were not removed on closure and were in situ until changes were made to the track layout in the area in the late 1990s.

Spike Island (Doncaster)
Spike Island was a workman's platform situated off the Great Northern Railway's main line some 1.75 mi south of Doncaster, by the Carr Wagon Shops. It was situated off the Down Goods Line and was served by a passenger train, running non-stop, under express headlights, known as the Spike Island Flyer.

Grantham railway station
Grantham railway station serves the town of Grantham in Lincolnshire, England and lies on the East Coast Main Line 105.5 mi north of London Kings Cross.
Junctions near the town also connect to branches to Nottingham, and to Sleaford and Skegness. The station was opened in 1852, and was built close to the factory of Richard Hornsby & Sons.
It is composed of 4 platforms; platforms 1 and 2 are on the East Coast Main Line and are responsible for express services between London and Scotland. Platform 1 serves exclusively London Kings Cross via Peterborough and Stevenage; Platform 2 serves cities of North England and Edinburgh. Platform 2, 3 and 4 are formed from a large island platform structure. Platform 3 is a bay platform at the northern end of the station that is used to allow local trains to reverse, while Platform 4 is a two way platform that is used by East Midlands Trains. Only Platform 1 has amenities including toilets, Costa Coffee and a buffet.
Prior to the opening of the Allington Chord in 2006, trains for Nottingham � Grantham � Skegness reversed in the station and travelled along the ECML crossed the ECML via a flat junction, with implications for congestion but after the opening of the chord they now reverse and travel from whence they came using the chord, crossing under the ECML using existing tracks.
The journey between London Kings Cross and Grantham takes a little over an hour, with most trains provided by National Express East Coast.

Union Of South Africa Helpston Crossing
By fleur and dad

Helpston railway station
Helpston railway station was a station in Helpston, Cambridgeshire on the Midland Railway's Syston and Peterborough Railway. It was closed in 1966. The Great Northern Railway main line runs adjacent to the Midland Railway at this point, but the Great Northern never had a station in Helpston. This was due to an agreement whereby the Midland carried materials to the site during construction of the Great Northern, and in return the Great Northern offered no competition for services on this section.
The goods shed survives, as does the Great Northern Railway signal box, which is now used only to monitor a number of level crossings in the vicinity. Helpston level crossing itself carries the Helston to Glinton road over the four tracks of the ex-GNR line and the two tracks of the ex-MR line. This was previously two separate level crossings, controlled by two separate signal boxes. There was space for two cars between the level crossings. The crossings were merged and converted from gates to full barriers in the 1970s.

Biggleswade

Biggleswade railway station
Biggleswade railway station serves the town of Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, England. The station is 66 km (41 miles) north of London Kings Cross on the "London-Peterborough Line". Biggleswade is managed and served by First Capital Connect.
Biggleswade station was originally built in 1850 for the Great Northern railway. The original station consisted of two lines but was rebuilt in 1901 to allow the present 4 line arrangement to be built.
Biggleswade has two large platforms and 4 main rail lines, a pair of "up and down" slow lines used by stopping services and a pair of "up and down" fast lines used by high speed services passing through. A fifth line extends off the "up" slow line which links into the remaining sidings used by Plasmor.
Biggleswade station was once a busy goods yard with several sidings used for loading trains of market produce to be taken to London markets. The decline of this lead to a reduction in the use of the station, and it now used for passenger traffic. Plasmor bricks own the site where the former goods depot was sited, and these lines into the sidings are still active with train workings of breeze block bricks brought down from Heck to Biggleswade, where they are then unloaded onto lorries for distribution. The goods depot was demolished but the old weighbridge & office remain on site, although out of use.
Biggleswade also had a signal box but this was closed when semophore signals were replaced.
Biggleswade station has a small cafe in the old station buildings and a ticket office. It was also a red star police office but this was closed in the mid 1980s when parcel traffic was forced to use Stevenage station.

Arlesey railway station
Arlesey railway station serves the town of Arlesey in Bedfordshire, England. The station is 60 km (37 miles) north of London Kings Cross on the "London-Peterborough" line. First Capital Connect manage and operate trains that serve the station.
This station was opened on October 3 1988 on the site of the old Arlesey and Henlow station which was closed, together with the adjacent Three Counties station, to passengers on 5 January 1959 and goods on 28 November 1960 (source: Bedfordshire Libraries). This was not as a result of the "Beeching Report", which was not published until 1963, but was due rather to declining receipts.
It was designed to be fully accessible to wheelchairs although as of 2006 the up platform to London Kings Cross is only accessible until 12.30 p.m. when the booking clerk finishes duty for the day. The down platform to Peterborough northbound is fully accessible at all times. However this is of no use to wheelchair users who cannot leave their chair as there are no facilities for 'loading and unloading'. The nearest stations for this are at Hitchin to the south and Huntingdon to the North.

Digswell Viaduct
The Welwyn Viaduct, also called Digswell Viaduct is a railway viaduct that carries the East Coast Main Line over the River Mimram and a locally important landmark. It is located between Welwyn Garden City and Digswell. It is just to the south of Welwyn North railway station.
The viaduct is around 1560 ft long and comprises forty arches of 30 ft span, and is 100 ft high from ground level to trackbed. It is built of brick fired from brick clay quarried on site during construction, and took two years to build, including the construction of embankments at both ends which required the movement of around one million tons of earth by human and horse power. It was designed by William Cubitt and styled after a Roman aqueduct.
It was originally opened by Queen Victoria on 6 August 1850, but she was so frightened of its height that she refused to travel across it. The train carrying her had to stop, upon which she left the train and entered a horse drawn carriage to travel the length of the bridge on the ground. She then re-entered the train at the other end of the viaduct and continued her journey. It carries the East Coast Main Line, which has to narrow from four tracks to two to cross the viaduct, making it a bottleneck restraining capacity over this strategic transport route. This problem is exacerbated by Welwyn North railway station situated at the northern end of the viaduct, which blocks the line while trains are stationary. Several ideas to overcome the limitations of the viaduct and station without damaging the viaduct's essential historic character and rhythmic design are periodically discussed. The line was electrified in the 1970s.

Welwyn Garden City rail crash
The Welwyn Garden City rail crash occurred on 15 June 1935, near Welwyn Garden City railway station in Hertfordshire, England. A steam train from London Kings Cross to Leeds collided with a train from Kings Cross to Newcastle at night and 14 people were killed and 29 injured.
The accident was a rear collision caused by a signalman's error. The signalman at Welwyn Garden City, who had been fairly recently appointed to the box, became confused and accepted two trains into the same block section. The first (Newcastle) train received a signal check and was slowed down to 15-20 mph; the Leeds train consisting of 11 coaches hauled by Class K3 2-6-0 No 4009 ran into it at approximately 65 mph.
There were several significant features. Firstly, the modern rolling stock withstood the violent collision well (apart from the last coach which was totally destroyed); older coaches would have been crushed, with much heavier loss of life. Secondly, the Inspecting Officer felt that the signalman had been promoted beyond his level of competence for such a busy box, and the assessment and training procedures for signalmen should be improved. Thirdly, he recommended that the block instruments should be linked to the track circuits to prevent future occurrences; this was widely adopted and known as Welwyn Control.
A second unrelated accident took place here in 1957; this was another rear collision but was due to a driver's error, a signal passed at danger. One person was killed.

Hatfield rail crash
The Hatfield rail crash was a railway accident on 17 October 2000, at Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK. Although the accident killed fewer than other accidents, Hatfield exposed the major stewardship shortcomings of the national railway infrastructure company Railtrack and the failings of the regulatory oversight which the company had had in its initial years � principally a failure to ensure that the company had a sound knowledge of the condition of its assets � and ultimately triggered its partial re-nationalisation.

Palace Gates railway station
Palace Gates railway station was a railway station on the Palace Gates Line in Wood Green, north London. It was located on the corner of Bridge Road and Dorset Road.
The station was opened on 7 October 1878 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) as terminus of the line which bore its name. The previous, temporary terminus had been at the previous station, Noel Park and Wood Green, since the line had opened on 1 January 1878.
The station was opened to provide a means by which the GER could transport passengers to the nearby Alexandra Palace. It was thus in competition with the nearby Wood Green (Alexandra Palace) station - now Alexandra Palace station - on the Great Northern Railway. A connection to Bowes Park on the GNR Hertford Loop Line which runs just north of the site of the terminus station was made in 1929 but it was only used for occasional freight trains.
Competing as it did with other nearby railway lines and the Underground's Piccadilly Line, the Palace Gates line was by the 1960s unprofitable and the line and the station were closed for passenger services on 7 January 1963 and for freight on 5 October 1964. Following closure, the station was demolished and housing built on most of the site. A short section of the station site at its north end is occupied by Network Rail sidings alongside which are traces of the platform ends.

It is the only surviving station of three that have served Alexandra Palace. Alexandra Palace, sited actually at the palace, was on the Highgate - Alexandra Palace line, and Palace Gates (Wood Green) was on the Palace Gates Line.
In Autumn 2008, a new SHERE self-service ticket machine, accepting both cash and credit cards, was installed here (and similarly at other local FCC stations).
Just outside the station to the north is Bounds Green Depot, used for storage and maintenance of the high speed trains used on the East Coast Main Line. A line adjacent to the station platforms is used by shunters moving carriages and engines around in the depot.

Die vom Architekten Leslie Green entworfene Station wurde am 15. Dezember 1906 als Teil der Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway (heutige Piccadilly Line) er�ffnet. Zwar baute man zwei Aufzugsch�chte, doch bis heute ist nur einer auch verwendet worden. Im zweiten Schacht befand sich der Prototyp einer spiralf�rmigen Rolltreppe des amerikanischen Ingenieurs Jesse Reno, die sich aber nicht bew�hrte und nach nur einem Tag wieder ausgebaut wurde. Die Reste dieser Rolltreppe werden im Depot des London Transport Museum in Acton gelagert. Wegen der Terroranschl�ge vom 7. Juli 2005 war die Station w�hrend einigen Wochen geschlossen. Am 4. August erfolgte die Wiederer�ffnung.
In der N�he liegt das im Juli 2006 er�ffnete Emirates Stadium des FC Arsenal. Die Baugenehmigung war mit der Auflage erteilt worden, dass die Station f�r f�nf Millionen Pfund umgebaut und erweitert wird, um mehr Fahrg�ste abfertigen zu k�nnen. Sp�ter durchgef�hrte Untersuchungen ergaben jedoch, dass zu diesem Zweck die Aufz�ge durch Rolltreppen h�tten ersetzt werden m�ssen, was rund 60 Millionen Pfund gekostet h�tte. Aus diesem Grund wurden die Ausbaupl�ne vorerst zur�ckgestellt und die Station kann an Spieltagen nur verlassen, aber nicht betreten werden.

King's Cross fire
The King's Cross fire was a fatal underground fire in London which broke out at approximately 19:30 on 18 November 1987, and which killed 31 people.
It took place at King's Cross St. Pancras, a major interchange on the London Underground. The station consisted of two parts, a subsurface station on the Circle and Metropolitan Lines (today's Hammersmith & City Line was then part of the Metropolitan) and a deep-level tube station on the Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria Lines. The fire started in an escalator shaft serving the Piccadilly Line, which was burnt out along with the top level (entrances and ticket hall) of the deep-level tube station.
