Shortly after withdrawal, 56003 has a number of type 5s for company on Doncaster TMD, 18th February 2001. 56003 initially entered preservation at the Nene Valley Railway before a second career on the mainline began, renumbered and painted purple as 56312. Two more liveries since but still to be found on the Network.

Running around 3 hours late, 60085 slows for a crew change at Doncaster with 6M32 0116 Lindsey to Preston on 3rd June 2015. Taken just after 0620, this needed a bit of zoom to get past most of the shadows caused by the 'office'.

47739 'Robin of Templecombe' heads 6C53 0818 Hensall to Doncaster Up Decoy through Doncaster on 19th October 2014. I took a bit of a gamble in hoping the Duff would lead the service back to Donny, as unlike last week, the tailing loco was GB shed 66707. Also got a bit fortunate with the light as the scene wasn't lit when the 47 appeared under the bridge.

Doncaster works open day, 27.02.1982. After the last Deltics had been withdrawn at the beginning of the year, all the remaining examples were arranged around the works for the public to view for a final time before most were scrapped - including 55005, above.

138 (ASA 24T) is an ECW bodied Leyland Fleetline FE30AGR that was acquired from Western SMT in 1995.
It was new to Alexander (Northern) Ltd in 1978 as NRF24.
It is seen inside the southern bus station, about to leave for its home village.
Doncaster is a fascinating blend of historical influence, industrial legacy, and modern cultural vibrancy. Located in South Yorkshire in the north of England along the scenic River Don, the city’s history stretches back to Roman times when it was known as Danum, a strategic fortification built to monitor important routes during the Roman occupation .
Over the centuries, Doncaster evolved from its early military origins into a pivotal industrial town. Its evolution was closely intertwined with the expansion of the railway network and the growth of horse racing traditions—both of which helped define its modern character. The city is home to iconic landmarks such as the Doncaster Racecourse, renowned for hosting the prestigious St Leger Festival, and historical sites like St George’s Minster and Cusworth Hall that stand as reminders of its rich architectural and cultural heritage.
In recent years, Doncaster has embraced its multifaceted identity by blending the old with the new. Officially conferred city status in November 2022 as part of a royal celebration, it now serves not only as a reminder of aristocratic and industrial traditions but also as a dynamic centre for arts, retail, and community events. Modern attractions and a thriving events calendar ensure that visitors and residents alike can experience its evolving story—from its industrial past to its present-day status as a lively, multicultural urban hub.

Friday night again saw the ECML mails being dragged to and from Doncaster. 67008 again did the honours on the northbound. The southbound, this time didn't have to wait for 1e06 to arrive, as the East Coast Thunderbird based at Doncaster was utilised. 67029 is seen shortly after attaching to 325003. After quite a lengthy delay, they departed for Willesden as 1M80 2243 ex Low Fell.

For some reason I struggled to get the colours in this image to look right whatever I did in photoshop so it looks a bit strange.
The photo was taken sometime between July and October 197 when Class 24 24112 was at Doncaster Works awaiting cutting up.
The loco was new from Darlington Works as D5112 to Gateshead in December 1960 and Eastern Region based until moving to Polmadie in October 1971. The loco was officially withdrawn on the last day of 1976 having been stored at Millerhill from October.
Thanks to the excellent Derby Sulzers site for the information as always.
