I think the bit about the joint line is not quite correct and there is no mention of the branch to Doncaster York Road. I will try and correct this when I find a good source. The elegant joint line bowsprit bridge over the river Don is now a public footpath and a good place for photography of the Doncaster avoiding line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.15.84 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eastrington
An IP user has added Eastrington to the diragram with the summary "Added Eastrington to the excellent route map. Left as a link to the village rather than a non-existant page about the former station.". I was wondering if this information is correct as there is an article on Eastrington railway station which is still open but it does not mention the Hull and Barnsley Railway as one of its former connections. Is this the same station or was there 2 stations there? Keith D (talk) 15:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the Eastrington railway station that is still open (on the Selby to Hull line) was formerly South Eastrington. Eastrington station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway, was also known as North Eastrington. Svitapeneela (talk) 10:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information - I think that we need to clarify the 3 articles so that people know there was 2 different stations. Keith D (talk) 12:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- I cannot find a reference at the moment but from memory the H&B station at Eastrington was simply called 'Eastrington'. When the NER absorbed the H&B in 1922, they had two stations serving Eastrington, so they were renamed North Eastrington and South Eastrington. XTOV (talk) 18:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Error in grammer
Would that they could spell it "grammar"--SilasW (talk) 20:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC).
[edit] River Hull Swing Bridge HJS/22
Users may be interested to note that the bridge will be receiving major work on the May Day weekend... (80.193.99.43 (talk) 11:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC))
[edit] Later features shown on line diagram
The article and the line diagram are H&BR, but at least two features are post-H&BR, the Spring Bank West connection into Paragon and Boothferry Park station. Should the map show them? Are icons in another colour needed to show track and stations built after a featured company closed.--SilasW (talk) 10:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
