COWBIT - 2017 - Opened in September 1867 on the GN/GE Joint Line from March to Spalding, Cowbit (pronounced Cubbitt) was the first stop south from Spalding. The station closed in September 1961 and the GN/GE line in November 1982. The rather fine goods shed still stands, albeit it out of use, no doubt earmarked for demolition and housebuilding in the future. Seen here on 23/08/17.

  • CLEETHORPES - 1910's - Opened by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway in 1863, Cleethorpes was developed by the railway into a seaside resort. The station boasted 6 platforms and a nest of carriage sidings, reflecting how busy it was, particularly on summer weekends. Right up until the 1970's, it boasted two daily return services to Kings Cross. Since then, things have been scaled back considerably, platforms reduced to 3 but still boasting an hourly service to Manchester. Around 250,000 passengers use the station each year.
  • CLEETHORPES - 1930's - Opened by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway in 1863, Cleethorpes was developed by the railway into a seaside resort. The station boasted 6 platforms and a nest of carriage sidings, reflecting how busy it was, particularly on summer weekends. Right up until the 1970's, it boasted two daily return services to Kings Cross. Since then, things have been scaled back considerably, platforms reduced to 3 but still boasting an hourly service to Manchester. Around 250,000 passengers use the station each year. Seen here looking from the buffer stops in perhaps the 1930's.
  • CLEETHORPES - 1970's - Opened by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway in April 1863 as an extension of the line from Grimsby into the town. Cleethorpes was one of number of east coast resorts that was largely owned and developed by a railway company. It handles over 250,000 passengers per year and is still a popular holiday resort. This picture must have been taken in the early 70's, judging by the terrible clothes!
  • CLEETHORPES - 2012 - Opened by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway in April 1863 as an extension of the line from Grimsby into the town. Cleethorpes was one of number of east coast resorts that was largely owned and developed by a railway company. It handles over 250,000 passengers per year and is still a popular holiday resort. Seen here in 2012 on what is probably a summer Saturday afternoon. 185 123 will depart on a Manchester Airport train whilst 144 006 is bound for Sheffield via Brigg, one of only 3 trains per week that use that route and all on a Saturday!
  • CONINGSBY - 1910's - First station on the Woodhall Junction - Little Steeping cut-off line that allowed Lincoln trains direct access to Skegness without the need to run round at Boston. Built of timber on an embankment, closed to all traffic in October 1970. Seen here shortly after completion in July 1913 by the look of it.
  • CONINGSBY - 1920's - First station on the Woodhall Junction - Little Steeping cut-off line that allowed Lincoln trains direct access to Skegness without the need to run round at Boston. Built of timber on an embankment, closed to all traffic in October 1970. Note gas lamps and somersault signal in off position.
  • CONINGSBY -1950's - First station on the Woodhall Junction - Little Steeping cut-off line that allowed Lincoln trains direct access to Skegness without the need to run round at Boston. Built of timber on an embankment, closed to all traffic in October 1970.
  • CORBY GLEN - 1950's - Intermediate stations on the GN mainline between Peterborough and Grantham were not many and most were located in small villages. Corby Glen, with 4 platforms and few passengers, was one such, about a mile west of the Corby Glen village at the top of a steep hill. It closed in 1959 but appears to be still open in this view of Class K3 No.61824 pausing on a down goods.
  • CORBY GLEN - 1962 - A stranger in paradise! A Class 33 heads north through Corby Glen in September 1962 on the Saturdays-only Cliffe - Uddingston cement train. The train was often double-headed and was the highlight of my Saturday afternoon when spotting at Essendine. Just where did these exotic creatures come from?<br /> Added 11/21: In November 1961, D6569 and D6559 were transferred to the Eastern Region to work Cliffe–Uddingston cement trains. These trains comprised 30 wagons, with a train weight of 1,050 tons. A pair of locomotives hauled the trains from Cliffe to Ferme Park, just north of King's Cross. Haulage of the train was then taken over by Eastern or North Eastern Region locomotives. It was soon found that these locomotives were unable to keep to the schedule demanded. The Southern Region agreed that their locomotives could work the train as far as York, operated by Eastern Region crews north of Ferme Park. This enabled an earlier arrival at York and the overall scheduled timing to Uddingston to be met. Seven locomotives were allocated to this traffic, allowing one to be spare. The round trip took 44 hours.
  • CORBY GLEN SIGNALBOX - 1960's - on the ECML north of Peterborough, the station closed in 1959 and was demolished shortly afterwards. The signalbox was swept away in the ECML rebuild of the 1980's. I spent many happy hours here as a boy.
  • COWBIT - 1987 - A Class 31 heads the rail recovery train of the GN/GE Joint line during dismantling operations in February 1987.
  • COWBIT - 2017 - Opened in September 1867 on the GN/GE Joint Line from March to Spalding, Cowbit (pronounced Cubbitt) was the first stop south from Spalding. It was built in a similar pattern to most of the stations on this section of the line with the station on one side of a road and the goods yard on the other, with the signalbox in the middle able to control both and the associated level crossing, thus obviating the need for two signalboxes, and hence the large size of the box. The box at Cowbit is owned separately from the station and has been undergoing renovation to a dwelling for some years. Seen here on 23/08/17.

The station closed in September 1961 and the GN/GE line in November 1982. The station building has been very nicely restored externally and retains many of its original features, including part at least of both platforms and the platform shelter, which has been converted into a dog grooming parlour. Seen here on 23/08/17.

  • COWBIT - 2017 - Whilst driving along the A16 today, I saw this signal post sticking up out of a thicket of brambles and went to investigate. I think it must once have been Cowbit's Up Outer Home signal. I couldn't get any closer than this due to the density of the anti-personnel undergrowth, which perhaps explains why it hasn't been 'recycled' by the locals - seen here 09/11/17.

  • CROWLE CENTRAL - 1910's - Not be confused with Crowle Town Station on the Axholme Joint Railway, seen here crossing the railway and canal in the background, Crowle lay on the Great Central line from Stainforth to Scunthorpe, a good way south of the village it served. It had staggered platforms and few facilities but remains open, serving about 30,000 passengers per year. Note the Humber Keel on the Canal and the opened swing bridge beyond it.
