One I found this afternoon, whilst sorting out a few old photo-albums
Could be York, or Doncaster??

All I can offer is Spring 1986, from the dates in the album it came from

York then. Very little of Doncaster covered in the 80's

I don't think that is York, The signal code L and the roof of the station looks like Leeds to me.

Slightly early, but I'm not sure if (due to an amalgamation of things) what time, or even if I'll get on here tomorrow


3rd July = 80th anniversary
I saw her running on her 50th anniversary, at Leeds

The roof doesn't look like York to me: York is higher, curved and mostly glass. That looks too modern and too low.

Leeds was higher at the time. And they've replaced that with a newer higher one since.
