BRITISH RAILWAY STATIONS
Photographs in this gallery are of various items of railway trappings such as stations, signalboxes, signals and whatever else is not a locomotive. I took some of these, but obviously all of the older ones have been bought or passed to me and are part of my collection. Hopefully, none of them originate on the GWR! These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

GAINSBOROUGH CENTRAL - 1900's - Opened in April 1849 on the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway's line from Retford through Brigg to Grimsby as plain Gainsborough. It looks very little like this today. Virtually everything visible in this picture is gone, replaced by two bus shelters! Passenger services consist of 3 trains each way on a Saturday only, resulting in about 1200 passenger journeys a year. Even this is an improvement over the 21 of 2004/05! A vigorous campaign is underway to restore an hourly weekday service as the recently upgraded route is still heavily used by freight services
