Surprisingly, station houses down the Brigg Line have survived mostly against the odds with Blyton, Northorpe, Kirton-in-Lindsey and Scawby still standing. Here we view Blyton on 14th. April 1983 with 56010 heading west on an empty coal train.

A 6 car Class 142 railbus formation runs ECS thought Brigg at 0617 on Sunday 12th August 1990 enroute to Cleethorpes to then work a railtour to Whitby.
Originally planned to be routed via Scunthorpe, the line was shut due to engineering works so was diverted
