Royston & Notton Station, with train
View northward, towards Normanton and Leeds etc. The Up Thames-Clyde Express (09.20 Glasgow St Enoch to London St Pancras) makes a fine sight, double-headed by Stanier Class 5 (modified with double-chimney and Caprotti valve-gear) No. 44756 piloting 'Jubilee' Class 6 4-6-0 No. 45615 'Malay States'. Behind are the chimneys associated with New Monckton Colliery. In those days (1951), this was the four-track trunk route of the ex-Midland Railway main line between Sheffield and Leeds, through a region that teemed with heavy industry, coal mines, railway yards and junctions, with an immense amount of freight traffic. However, mining subsidence forced express trains to slow down through here. From 1/1/68 all passenger services ceased, Royston & Notton station closed and since 9/68 nothing has passed this way and the traffic that is left runs on other lines - if not by the M1! As we all know, since the 1980s the mines have been closed and industry along with rail freight traffic is a shadow of what it was.

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.

Up freight at Royston & Notton
View northward from the station, towards Normanton and Leeds: ex-Midland Sheffield - Leeds main line, disused since 1968 owing to mining subsidences: the 'C' board marks the commencement of a temporary speed restriction, no doubt due to one of these. (See Image]). The Class H freight is headed by LMS Fowler 4F 0-6-0 No. 44538 (built 1928, withdrawn 1/64). Behind is New Moncton Colliery.
