ULLESKELF
(All 18.6.1985 copyright Steve Sainsbury/Rail Thing)
There are a couple of my pet hates here at Ulleskelf station back in 1985 - dull weather and an island platform! Both help take interest out of photos! This is a small station south of York on the East Coast Main Line so the compensation - back then anyway - was a decent variety of workings and locomotives, all diesel back in 1985 of course.
