The branch in 1961, bottom left corner is the Huddersfield (off left) to Penistone, double track throughout in those days. Once rail served were Park Mill Colliery (mining ended 1989) at Clayton West terminus top right and Emley Moor Colliery (mining ceased Dec 1985) at Skelmanthorpe.	Clayton West station on 25 May 1963, looking towards Huddersfield. Incredibly the branch passenger service survived almost another 20 years.<br>[© Angus McDougall 1963]	Marked up track plan of Kirklees Light Railway (our 26 Oct 2018 trip) thanks to Peter Scott and Martyn Brailsford. for personal use only not for onward transmission or copying otherwise. The track covered is 'red lined' in e-BLN (everything!).<br>[© Peter Scott 2019]	The keen end of the train 'above' the run off past the turntable at Shelley station proving that the end row of seats did it (but the end set of wheels remained on the turntable).<br>[&copy; Alan Sheppard. 2018]
