Photographic notes
Trains going on/coming off the single line section to Battersby will stop on the crossing to either get or give up the token from the signal box.
As there are so few trains on the line, extra services may often run early. The sandite was especially bad this year, often leaving up to 90 minutes early on Saturdays!
