Looking very smart in the new Northern livery 1588849 passes

through Hatfield and Stainforth station forming the 14.02 Scarborough to Sheffield service. The train has just passed the former Hatfield colliery that finally closed in 2015 bringing to an end one hundred and five years of production. The point in the distance where the tracks go out of sight is where the infamous slip occurred during 2013 when a spoil heap, loosened by rain soaking into it, of an estimated 1,000,000 cubic meters slumped on to and completely overwhelmed the running lines. It took until July to clear the lines and stabalise the land, a major headache for train planners as the four tracks seen are strategically important, particularly to freight movement.
