A few lines from Doncaster, Yorkshire 29th August 1976

A 1970s North Bridge trackscape. A telephoto shot of Doncaster station's north end prior to electrification & resignalling of the ECML.

I have a postcard bought at the station in the late 1960s with a similar picture to this but from the southern approach. Written across the picture is the caption "A Few Lines from Doncaster". Despite being bought at least 3 years after steam finished there are steam engines in view. I suspect that similar postcards could be bought in many other towns with "A Few Lines from X" as captions.

I remember Doncaster station, and it would have been in 1976 too. From memory, the drought and heatwave broke the next day or the day after. I also remember everything did seem to be in black and white with all colour drained away due to the relentless sun bleaching everything and the never-ending stoney grey skies! I don't remember blue skies that summer, even if it is the common recollection!
A fine and interesting shot and good notes!

Cheers Andy. It was a Bank Holiday which probably explains why the weather broke!

Thanks for your ongoing contributions to the LNER and other railway groups. I am not a very active administrator. I seem to have acquired quite a few 'administratorships' and yet I currently spend more of my time in railway modelling than here in ipernity. Nevertheless I do appreciate the many excellent photos that you contribute.
Best wishes, Phil
