DescriptionRoyston & Notton 2 station geograph-2161826.jpg
English: Up fast freight train passing Royston & Notton station.
View northward, towards Normanton and Leeds; ex-Midland main line Sheffield - Leeds, part of the Midland trunk route London - Sheffield - Leeds - Carlisle, but a section demoted/closed in the 1960s owing to mining subsidence. In 1951 the section was still very busy: the Up Class D freight (headed by Hughes/Fowler 5P4F 2-6-0 No. 42794) is on the Fast lines, while across the platform on the Slows lines a Down freight passes with LMS 4F 0-6-0 No. 44374. Behind is New Monckton Colliery.
