I thought they'd stopped using that line when the oil terminal closed.What is the score with the limestone? Is it being used in the construction of the link road, or is it for other purposes?

Perhaps not...but I believe it is mandatory that all railways should be enclosed or fenced off. there were several people walking their dogs.B

The Limestone loading facility used to be (Tilcon i think) it was at the old Marsh Lane sidings. There was a daily train to Rylestone about 8.00 a.m from Marsh lane. That was in the 80's. I presume since the Marsh lane site has gone it's relocated down there. I know the old oil refinery has been demolished but is there still any oil traffic from a new site at Knowsthorpe?
