144001 leaves Goole on 7 February 1998 with the 11:28 Goole to Doncaster service. 56133 can just be seen in the background waiting to follow it with the 6J50 11:34 Goole Docks to Rotherham steel train. This wide open view is no longer possible, as the field in the foreground has been built on. Several large industrial units now occupy the site, which is presumably what the sign that can just be seen to the right of 56133 in the background is advertising! Also the lineside vegetation has increased considerably.

144004 passes Calder Bridge Junction, Wakefield on 18 October 1997 with the 14:54 Wakefield Westgate to Pontefract Monkhill service. In the best tradition of DMU operation the destination blind shows where it has come from rather than where it is going to!

144004 passes Melton Ross on 26 July 2003 with the 14:56 Cleethorpes to Sheffield Arriva Trains Northern service. This has traveled from Cleethorpes as an all stations service, and will shortly be calling at Barnetby, it will then proceed via Retford, finally arriving at Sheffield at 17:05, no doubt any passengers making the whole journey will be then be very glad to get off!

144009 passes North Rigton on the Leeds to Harrogate line with the 07:10 Leeds to York service on 6 September 2004. The soft autumnal sun was just burning off the mist, which can still be seen lingering in the background. The 39 miles between Leeds and York is possibly about the furthest you'd want to travel in one of these railbuses. Lively is possibly the kindest description of quality of their ride, with a very basic bus like accommodation. At least they were cheap!

144010 passes Old Denaby on 17 April 2006 with the 09:27 Lincoln to Adwick Northern Rail Metro service, in a brief patch of sunshine. Very brief, as Mexborough station in the background is not in sun, and there are some threatening dark clouds approaching! This is not what you would call a speedy service taking 2 hours 20 minutes and calling at Saxilby, Gainsborough Lea Road, Retford Low Level, Worksop, Shireoaks, Kiveton Park, Kiveton Bridge, Woodhouse, Darnall, Sheffield, Meadowhall, Rotherham Central, Swinton, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Doncaster, Bentley and Adwick. I pity anyone that has to endure the entire journey!

144014 pulls away from Sherburn-in-Elmet on 17 September 1996 with the 17:52 York to Hull service. Although the level crossing has been closed to road vehicles and replaced with a bridge (upon which I am standing), and clearly the only crossing over the line in this view is a footpath, the level crossing barriers were still operational when this picture was taken, merrily going up and down for each train for no reason whatsoever. Unfortunately this sort of stupidity is typical of Britain in recent years.
