Oh aye pulling out of Skinningrove in those days was a big pull up into Brotton one way which most wagons headed for as it got you onto the main trunk roads . But if you turned left then you had a downhill Loftus bank with a hairpin followed by a long steep drag up Loftus bank practically bottom gear in those days. Skinningrove is still open but mainly doing sections for Caterpillar now i think.
