If you wanted to get on at New Clee / Gy Dock do you have to stick your arm out and hope you're spotted in time for them to stop?


Yeah. There are quite a lot of request stops in the UK.

On the Inverness to Kyle line I think there are about 7 or 8 alone.

Edit - Even more that I thought....149 in total, although it's probably more as Grimsby Docks isn't listed here, or maybe it's not a request stop.

We have in the past got the train from Clee after a few pints in the No 2 and got off at Gy Docks by request to go to the Yardbirds Club. Think that is usually the Barton train.

I'm not quite sure why i think this, but that sounds like a really good night out to me.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

How do you get the train to stop? Is there a bell you ding or do you have to tell someone before you get on?

Grimsby docks is a scheduled stop on the Barton service, nor a request stop

Yes, you are correct and i got my trains mixed up, but we have asked the guard to stop at GY docks before, so must have been the TPE to Manchester. I've also requested the Old Clee stop in the past, travelling the other way, as it's nearer to where i used to live than Clee station.

That used to be the case but it ended up with a lot of one armed people in the town.
