- The Malton and Driffield Junction Railway, later known as the Malton and Driffield branch was a railway line in Yorkshire that ran between the towns of Malton and Driffield in Yorkshire.
The line opened on 13 April 1853. It became part of the North Eastern Railway (1854), then London and North Eastern Railway (1923), becoming part of British Railways in 1948. Passenger services on the line gained the nickname the Malton Dodger.
Between the 1920s and 1950s the line saw use transporting chalk from the Burdale and Wharram quarries. Passenger services ended in 1950; the Burdale quarry closed in 1955, and the line closed in 1958.
The Burdale Tunnel suffered a severe collapse in the 1980's. A video of the collapse can be found here; • Video

Very interesting bits of railroad history. Well done!
Thank You burning Sands
Nice finds. That nut would have been brilliant in it's day. Imagine working on the lines in mid winter, then going back there and sticking the fire on. From freezing to nice and warm in no time. Brilliant views into that tunnel. With the bats you probably wound't want to go in there. End up with Rabies if one bites. The arch of rail line. Sometimes you get them on the end of sidings to act as line end stops. That meter could be live. Bit of a coincidence that the rat just happened to be dead right next to it. Might be worth informing someone just incase kids to for a look around.
Thanks Urbexy. The hut sure was nice and I could imagine having a cup of tea next to the fire. Dave is going to bring electrical test equipment from now on. Safety first.
Great video, more please.
Coming up :)
Nice spooky sounds looking in tunnel
Hello there, Thank you very much
The old curved rail near the water tank was an old rail made buffer stop .
Ah that makes sense, thank you for watching and commenting :)
Another great video folk
A golden gem 😁
Cool video buddy 👍😎
Thanks T420tom 🤩
Another excellent explore too me too you 🤣🤣
Cheers Adzey
that was a grand day out folks
It sure was 😁
Yes it's an old buffer stop that you may find at the end of a siding, seen a shit load of these is my driving days
Hello Mike, Thanks for the info. thats really helpful :)
👍😎
There's a ladder on the other side of the wall so getting in is pretty easy just went in yesterday and it's longer than the south part of the tunnel
That’s great news. Was it flooded? Does one need wellies or waders?
@@ALWResearchTeamit looks like it used to be flooded as there are tide marks on the wall and all the wood and debris has flowed right up to the wall but It was dry all the way. Its a fair but deeper than the south portal and it curves to the left but if you go in bring dust masks as there's a lot of dust in the air. The collapse is just after the first vent (from the north portal)
Yes we went in February and it was over wellies near the wooden ladder and heading off round the corner it looked to get a lot deeper so we aborted. I'll need to go back. Thanks for the information :)
I managed to get through the tunnel in the mid 1980s. I made it over the 2 roof falls.
Nice, I believe there have been further falls since unfortunately
@@ALWResearchTeam Yes, I probably wouldn't attempt again! I went at Easter time and there were huge stalagmites of ice in the South entrance, stretching quite a few yards into the tunnel. Looked very weird (I can't remember the exact year we went but it was after a particularly snowy Winter). There was quite deep water between the two tunnel falls, probably knee high. Looking back, we were incredibly foolhardy!
👍👍👍😎
Drains are probably blocked as to why the track bed is is wet
Hello there :)
Yes there is a serious drainage issue which plagued the line all its operational life.
Platelayers hut?
Hello there, Yes I believe so, although some are calling it a buffer stop.
