Kirton Lime Sidings in September 1989.

The sidings were still in use for the receipt of cement traffic from Hope, and the Brigg Line was still furnished with a useable, albeit infrequent, six trains a day passenger service at this time

The only operational #Class141 'Pacer' in the country.

Midland Railway - Butterley plays host to a terrific mix of rolling stock in varying stages of upkeep, but this one is a unique item now. Hopefully they run another DMU gala so I can sample the 141 🫡

🚅: 141113, at Butterley shed.

This week the Northern Brigg line passenger service has been cancelled due to engineering work in the Sheffield area.

A rail replacement bus service between Retford and Cleethorpes was planned.

We are aware that for the last 3 days this service has not run.

We have asked for an investigation

Departures from Brigg
(Well, not many of them. No trains as Northern wouldn't supply, and the buses didn't show either)

Let's hope that Brigg and Kirton-in-Lindsey are included in this offer, as they have been missed off for a number of years and it is communities like this that deserve the chance to catch a train.

Brigg signalman Mr. David Neve, gives verbal instructions to the second man of this return excursion to Shrewsbury on 2nd. July 1978.

Taken at a time when the Brigg Line still held some residual importance as a through route out of the Humberside area.

📌 Kirton Lindsey

After getting a bus at 8:30am from Lincoln, I decided to spend some time at KTL before going down the Brigg Line to Grimsby!

Surprisingly there was another passenger... it's almost like there is demand for the Brigg Line *cough cough OLR*

Obligatory @iblrg.bsky.social shout-out 😁

After the CAT to Leamington it was Turbo time back to Birmingham before we hopped over to New Street for required 158821 to see @tdlovestrains.bsky.social favourite dispatcher @downonthestour.bsky.social at Wolves before we ventured back to Brum on a less crowded 158831

Pains me to say it but these are actually growing on me. They have superb acceleration which caught @tdlovestrains.bsky.social by surprise 😁

Just a shame they are a bit bland in the noise department, certainly comparable to what we loved on the Cross City before them

Another good day on the rails today!

6 new units in the book for haulage & 2 new stations visited!

68015 creeps into the 200 mile club & my required 172s is down to 10 without even really trying 😁

Thanks to @tdlovestrains.bsky.social for the company & the laughs 😁

Obviously, if you are showing someone around the West Mids, you have to show them the local wildlife and the big cats that roam freely - I think @tdlovestrains.bsky.social approves 😁

68015 at Solihull and then on the blocks at Birmingham Moor Street
