Does this walk along the old track bed and also do you cross the main Driffield bypass and continue to walk to the show ground.

That's exactly it Graham. If you follow it along you will see it join up to the branch that runs the other way over the showfield to market weighton.

Great photos and details Mike. Thanks for sharing.

With reference to rodding, was channel rodding used over the length of the line, reason for asking i delivere to a property in fimber that the present owner says was the built for station master after closure, he showed me a few lengths of tube dug up from garden that we wondered if they were part of the rodding run from the Station, the fellow is a S&T fellow but more on the T side

The NER normally used old gas pipes and rod rollers to suit. I expect these would have been the main type of rodding on the MDR and it's unlikely they would have been replaced with BR standard channel rods although not impossible since of course several signals were replaced or converted to upper quadrant.
