	Jonathan Fry: Hull & Barnsley Railway - Cannon Street Station
		I plan on photographing remaining infrastructure, line, embankments, bridges, tunnels, stations and anything else which is associated with the Hull and Barnsley Railway.
		The photographs shown on this page were taken on Cannon Street in Hull and show the perimeter wall and gates to the original Cannon Street station which was closed to passenger traffic in 1924.
		I think it was the last railway built in this country and the route did not strangle the road traffic due to it's high level route.

		The first railway ferry operating on open waters was also built in Scotland in 1849, it was used to carry goods wagons between Burntisland and Granton on Firth of Forth.
		British Railways inherited the railway owned ships and routes and operated over a hundred services for many years, very few of the railway owned ferry services carried railway wagons however, by the twentieth century those that did all operated between ports on the South and East coast and the Continent.
		In the late 1970's a lot of the British Railways ferry stock was overhauled but in 1982 it was all withdrawn from ferry use and transferred to Speedlink to meet internal demand for air braked vehicles.

		The North Eastern Railway owned the largest mileage: 1757 route miles (2828 km), as compared with the North British Railway (1378 miles or 2218 km) and the Hull and Barnsley Railway, at 106.5 miles (171 km).
		In partnership with the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), the LNER was co-owner of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, the UK's biggest joint railway system, much of which competed with the LNER's own lines.
		The public face of a railway system was and is in large part the locomotives and rolling stock in service upon it, and therefore the personalities of the Chief Mechanical Engineers of the LNER impressed their distinctive visions upon the railway.

		The independent life of the Hull and Barnsley railway came to an end in March 1922 when it was amalgamated with its old rival the North Eastern Railway (soon to be the LNER).
		There is little doubt that the railway's chances of success were blighted from the outset by the high cost of building it through difficult terrain as well as over-optimistic forecasts of the traffic it would generate.
		To avoid level crossings, the Hull and Barnsley crossed the city of Hull on an embankment.

		A track bed to Anlaby and Willerby is the old Hull and Barnsley Railway route with deviations using Willerby Road and Kingston Road.
		There are now cycle routes on old railway routes which would be lost to tramways, and frankly an argument is that these would be better going out to Withernsea and Hornsea again, even as light rapid transit.
		Lessons took place at Hull College on 22 October 2003, for the purpose of showing how to construct a discussion and a talk in particular within Key Skills Communication (English, Literacy).

	North Eastern Railway & is constituents locomotives
		The North Eastern Railway, like the LNWR, contained within it, the roots of the world's railway system and the Company was well aware of its rich historical heritage: Tomlinson and the National Railway Museum display this.
		One of the problems of citing Baxters' work is that the information is extremely dense and much relates to fine detail, such as the fitting of steam brakes or "Kendal cabs" yet lacks a great deal of the constructional detail found in Hoole or in the RCTS Locomotives of the LNER.

		The West Park story begins in the early 1920's when the Hull & Barnsley Railway Company recognised the need for a passenger station in a more central location of Hull than the existing station in Cannon Street.
		With a small distortion of history West Park was built to compete with the L.N.E.R. Paragon Station in Hull City centre.
		West Park is intended to represent the 'Modern Image Era' in the 1970's to early 1980's period with blue diesels being the main motive power present, although steam specials can also be seen in the area.

		Notes: This was the Hull terminus of the railway, originally the passenger terminus was to have been 1/4 mile south on Charlotte Street but due to financial problems the goods facilities were quickly adapted for passenger use.
		Brief history of the line: The Hull Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company was formed with the backing of Hull Corporation to break the monopoly on dock and rail traffic from Hull; it included a deep water dock (Alexandra Dock) to the east of Hull.
		It was one of the last new main lines to be built, construction cost double the estimates, due in part to difficulties in cutting and tunneling through unexpectedly hard chalk in the Yorkshire Wolds near Little Weighton.
