The South Yorkshire town of Doncaster has long been a hotspot for railway enthusiasts. Glancing at the railway map, it-s easy to see why. With its prominent position on the East Coast Main Line, it is also an important passenger interchange for a variety of destinations around Yorkshire and Humberside. With no fewer than seven different passenger operators calling at the station, there-s plenty of variety. Doncaster-s freight traffic may have suffered as a result of the twenty-first-century downturn in coal movements, but there-s still a lot on show, with all the major rail-freight operators making regular appearances in the area.In this book, John Jackson documents what Doncaster-s railways have to offer in the twenty-first century.
