Ex Great Central 2-8-0 goods engine taking the direct route eastwards over the "flat crossing" across the E.C.M.L and avoiding the station. It will have to wait a little longer until the passenger train ahead of it leaving the station clears the section. Report as Inappropriate	John Wass	Wednesday 10th of May 2017 08:11:17 PM

Are you sure? I seem to think trains from Sheffield to Lincoln etc used the loop line from the Sheffield direction to enter Retford station from the north. (Insistently, this loop still exists and allows north bound trains to turn westwards towards Sheffield.) They then departed as seen on this photo turning left to rejoin their original path eastwards. The building of the fly-under just got rid of the flat crossing over the main line. Report as Inappropriate	John Wass	Tuesday 13th of January 2015 08:41:02 PM
