Title
Mytholmroyd Station - LYR00200
Description
LYRS 6061 - 1963. Buildings on Down side looking eastwards towards the sorting sidings beyond the signal box. The sidings and box have gone and the station has been unstaffed since 1985 and the unusual three storey Grade II listed station building is disused. Note lattice type bracket signals at far end of platform and ground signals between main tracks for access to goods yard.
The crews of goods trains had a rather unorthodox method of changing over at Mytholmroyd Station. The crew going off shift would set the train going very slowly and jump off at the beginning of the platform, whilst the new crew waited to board the train at the far end of the platform. Thus the train passed through the station un-attended. This practice took place in the 1960s, but it appears to have been long established!
