There were a number of tracks that led into the

former Horbury railway works that closed in 2005 with the extensive site now in use by a number of companies. Whilst the works was best known for it manufacture, overhaul and maintenance of wagons it was also involved, during World War II, in the manufacturing of the Churchill tank. When Procor bought the operations, the plant produced bodyshells for the BR class 60 and when Bombardier took over it built class 92 bodyshells. Just before closure in the early 2000s it completed extensive overhauls on GNER's Mk. IV stock. Strange to think that rakes of smart blue GNER Mk. IV coaches will have rolled past this spot!
