Freight train on the Doncaster Avoiding Line
The line, 3 miles 22 chains long from Hexthorpe to Bentley, was built by the Great Central Railway in 1908-10 in preparation for the opening of Immingham Dock in 1912, and its purpose was to take slower freight trains to/from Humberside over the LNER's East Coast main line rather than go through Doncaster station. It still fulfils that purpose (though traffic is lighter since the demise of the coal industry), and has never been used for regular passenger services.

Newton Ings
A large, flat, arable field of about 20 hectares adjacent to the river Don. There is a floodbank, but the name suggests that it was historically subject to flooding, and with more extreme weather resulting from climate change, may be at risk again.
