The Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint Railway (also known as the Gowdall and Braithwell Railway〔 *The North Eastern Railway, Cecil J. Allen, Ian Allan Ltd., 1964 (3rd edition 1974). ''History of the North Eastern Railway'', Chapter XXI〕) was a joint line which ran from Aire Junction, on the main line of the Hull and Barnsley Railway, near Gowdall to the Great Central and Midland Joint Railway at Braithwell Junction. ==Description== The railway consisted of a double track main line (21.375 miles in length) which branched from the Hull and Barnsley railway at Aire junction near Gowdall〔Railway Memories No.12 : The Hull and Barnsley Railway, Compiler: Stephen Chapman, Bellcode books, pp. 6–7, 66–71.〕 The line crossed the Knottingley and Goole Canal (part of the Aire and Calder Navigation) via a rolling bascule lifting bridge.〔The bridge was never operable – it could be made working if the Canal began to carry ships〕 The River Don was also crossed by a girder truss bridge with approach spans on either side.〔 In addition to the main length of the line there were five branches: *From Bullcroft junction at 9 miles south of Aire junction.〔 * * To Bullcroft Colliery (1.875 miles) * * Bentley New Colliery (0.625 miles) * To Doncaster (York Road) railway station, 1 mile. * To Sprotborough Junctions with GC (Doncaster Avoiding Line), 0.25 miles. * To Yorkshire Main Colliery, 0.625 miles. The line had five passenger stations although never a passenger service. The stations were situated on the edge or between the villages in their titles, even Doncaster (York Road) was well north of the town, beyond the Avoiding Line. ===Laughton to Ravenfield joint line=== :''Known as the Great Central, Hull & Barnsley and Midland Joint Railway Committee'' At the time of the construction of the South Yorkshire Joint Railway a joint line was authorised for the Great Central, Midland and Hull and Barnsley Railways to operate. This 4 mile line ran from Laugton (where it connected to the end of the Shireoaks, Laughton and Maltby Railway) to Ravenfield where it connected at Laugton West junction to the Great Central and Midland Railway's joint branch serving Silverwood Colliery. It connected to the Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint at Braithwell junction and opened in 1909.〔The Hull and Barnsley Railway, G.D.
