There was a signal box as you came off the Down Main called Benton Quarry in the early 60s, I remember 4 tracks from Earsdon to Seghill, looks alot different now, thanks for the cab ride......
Whats up with running all the red lights? No cab signals!

Why is it called 'Battleship Wharf'? And where does the line go if you go straight ahead instead of veering right over the road at then end of the trip?
Battleship Wharf was built as a shipbreaking site built by Hughes Bolkow opened in 1908 and closed in 1980. The wharf has since been adapted for handling bulk materials
Nice video. I’d like to see it again with more modern equipment.

Jack King I knew it well. A weekend HST diversion springs to mind along with the social clerb.
Thanks for posting, lots of memories there :-)
Hey Kenny, have you been back up the ABT since its been resignalled/double tracked (in places)
No. Not driving in that direction at the moment. As I am retiring in three weeks time it looks very unlikely.
I was on railtour in 2014 where the train went all the way into the port of Blyth.
