1G09 Blackpool to RAF Finningley Halt [route not known].
1G09 18.15 RAF Finningley Halt to Blackpool.
RAF Finningley Halt MP113, Bessacarr Jn, Flyover West, Reversible West Slow line, Bridge Jn curve, Mexborough, Rotherham Masborough, Sheffield Midland.... (where I left the train).
RAF Finningley Halt was a temporary wooden structure erected on the downside of the Lincoln to Doncaster line at @ MP113 just to the north of Finningley Ground frame for the annual RAF Finningley Air show. All trains from the north including the Doncaster to RAF Finningley shuttle used this emergency crossover to access the platform. These shuttles were well known to track bashers for using the transfer line through the Up Decoy Yard to access platform 2 at Doncaster station (as mentioned in an earlier thread).
A system of portable barriers was erected to regulate the crowds leaving the Airshow site by rail. These barriers separated the people queuing for the trains home. |
