Milford Junction, West Yorkshire
Milford Junction remains an important link in the railways of the North East. When I lived here in the 1950's it was very busy serving as a relief to the East Coast Main Line and on Summer Saturdays Excursion trains (remember them?) passed through on their way to Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby, carrying eager families for a weekend out at the seaside. The junction remains a confluence of lines to/from York, Selby, Sheffield and Wakefield. Whilst the junction has been radically modified and two stations (Milford Junction and Monk Fryston) have been completely removed, the routes have been retained. Freight traffic from Gascoigne Wood is the source of a considerable flow of coal traffic to the power stations. The old sidings and the site of the Junction station have been used to lay in many sidings for the coal trains. Passenger trains are restricted to Metro and Trans Penine multiple units from York and the occasional diversions. This junction is a favourite spot for railway enthusiasts who park on Inglethorpe Lane at the junction with Lumby Lane. Local residents are not too keen on the visitors and parking is limited to about 3 cars. If visiting the site, please park with care and respect the resident's right of access/egress from their property.

Occupation crossing at the end of Common Lane. These gates are operated by the users of the crossing. A signal light (red/green aspects) is provided to inform users if it is safe to open the gates and cross the lines. If large or slow vehicles or animals are to cross, the signal box, just down the line to the left, must be informed first. For safety reasons, this crossing is montored by cameras.
