The South Yorkshire town of Doncaster has long been a hotspot for railway enthusiasts. Glancing at the railway map, it’s easy to see why. With its prominent position on the East Coast Main Line, it is also an important passenger interchange for a variety of destinations around Yorkshire and Humberside. With no fewer than seven different passenger operators calling at the station, there’s plenty of variety. Doncaster’s freight traffic may have suffered as a result of the twenty-first-century downturn in coal movements, but there’s still a lot on show, with all the major rail-freight operators making regular appearances in the area.
In this book, John Jackson documents what Doncaster’s railways have to offer in the twenty-first century.
John Jackson, a lifelong transport enthusiast, opted for early retirement at the turn of the Millennium – and swapped the rat race for the rail tracks. Since then, he has travelled extensively on the British rail network with his camera as a constant companion. He continues to compile a photographic collection reflecting the UK rail industry that already extends to tens of thousands of images. He also has an interest in the history of his local county of Bedfordshire and John and his wife Jenny, together with their trusty cameras, have spent hundreds of hours meandering around their home county visiting each one of the parishes in the county, recording the churches.
