Hello diggle junction my favourite class 37 is drs class 37422

Brilliant thanks a lot look forward to it 👍👌

The Loram livery is very marmite!

Chezzy is a remarkable place with so much variety

Great video loads of action on that line do you know where you get the little pictures of the locos down the bottom? 😁😁😁

Great set of Traction thank you for all for recording.The Midland Pullman lovely and what could of been a every day sight if the Woodhead line was kept open.

The variety is strong in this one, Luke 👏🤭

BAD INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AT DIGGLE STATION Bad Infrastructure Planning shown here at 22:46, where signal / relay cabinets have been placed near to the edge of 'The Four Foot'.. Those of a wiser disposition....or with that rare thing 'Common Sense' would have located these elesewhere, far better raised up and set back a good distance. Located as they are they would prevent the re-installation of one of the platforms at Diggle....where it to come forward for consideration in the future, when they would then have to be re-located away from the track. Thus we see the unintended consequences of a stupid decision, where additional expenditure would be required, when a little foresight in advance would have made more sense. My old Signalling Inspector at Miles Platting, Ben Palin, would have spotted this in an instant...... Alas, those in charge these days are lacking his wisdom.... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England P.S. These cabinets were always placed parallel to the track not at right angles to it as they are these days....

Thanks again for another wonderful video, Awesome stuff!

Thanks Luke - great vid as always. I love the sound of a 68 - for me it’s second only to a deltic at full speed. Cheers from down under, Marty.

Wow what an absolute piece of engineering locomotives are stunning that drone shot above blue Peter was awesome and the mayflower what a loco 👍👌

fab as always Luke top notch

Brilliant again Luke thankyou...

Some good flats!!!

Thank you very much Luke for covering the movements in your area, and sort of local to you. Wow that was lucky with the two sheds passing you on the ECML.

Corker! .....cheers Luke

Great video Luke. Thank you for sharing.

It is like Network Rail are adjusting their schedule for you to get the best footage. Thanks to everyone fir another great video.

Great variety in this video. Very much appreciated.

Glad you caught Mayflower Luke, I was with a few other guys standing in the rain expecting to see it passing through Hebden Bridge unaware until quite late on that it’d been diverted…take it from me a Northern 195 was no substitute 😂

Interesting, thanks for posting. As an aside,I think it was 1991 I was was in the employ of small asphalt surfacing contractor based in the local area. They won a contract to surface a newly constructed car park on the site of the former Bletchley steam shed. The civil engineering co who constructed the formation for the car park stated that all the former pits and possibly a turntable pit were absolutely full of oil lamps ,fire irons ,parts etc then backfilled with ash. All these contents along with the ash were excavated and sent to landfill! The historical value today would be immense. Opposite the would be new car park was the Bletchley code station, still in use by British Telecom, with a degree of high security. We of course were oblivious to the site and its history! Worked in there many years later, absolutely fascinating.

Another great Diggle Diaries! 👍 I’m off to Swindon on Monday for my final filming trip of the year so hoping for a good one up there!

Another first rate video. Many thanks for continuing to make and post these.

Hi Luke, only just found your website. So, to explain me contacting you, relates to during the early to mid 60's I've worked over that route many times! I was an ex: BR fireman from the Manchester area via the Micklehurst line - had many a struggle too, with heavy freight trains, even with Sulzer Type 2's (Class 24/25')! Oh and what 'happy times' they were😉 Thanks for sharing your excellent footages.👍

Thx Luke just keeps getting better and better.!👏👏.can’t believe how fast the steam train and 57 rattled thru.!!🫣🫣🫣

Great stuff Luke, I got caught up at Huddersfield, in the Broken Rail fiasco, ended up having to get a taxi. Saw the Pullman 43’s in the West Yard. At Donny. They were about to leave as I was heading back to Leeds. Thanks a lot.

Thank you Luke and to your good lady for legging it down the path to catch the shot. A great video. Good to see the 37s in Stalybridge - I'd have walked down to see them had I known they were coming in. Blue Peter (then in green livery) was a fixture at Dinting when I was younger - it's lovely to see her back in steam and working mainline duties.

Was that your lady running up street in her pj's on webcam as Mayflower pass lol

I think you may have to keep that woman, Luke. Racing out in the dark and cold to catch a shot for you, now that's dedication! Another winner of a Diaries. 👍👍

Great Video Luke

It doesn't get much better than this Luke.

Interesting that the flask working at the end only had one loco. I was under the impression that these required 2 locos, or was that a stock move and not an actual working?

I don't remember seeing anything in the loop lately.Is it out of commission?

Thanks

Really well made video. Thanks.

Ya done good son! Thought I could hear you panting when you had to dash out to catch the Blue Pullman.

Great video again Luke. Good to see 3 steamers. Loved the little bit of wheel slip as Mayflower pulled away.

Another superb video Luke great mix loved the sound of that 68013 it was awesome (bring em back) stay safe matey a t b Syd👍

Another great video Luke we bean spoiled for the last month really enjoyed it and to top it off got a big new telly and it's great to watch it on the big screen so once again a massive thumbs up 👍👍 PS can we have a few more shots of the forward and backward shots cheers

November certainly was a great month for variety up there Luke - the opening clip must have been a pretty unique triple header! Really enjoyed the steamers as well - of course the Castle was the best! Loved the snowy scenes too, all we had down here was 5 minutes of sleet! Another really enjoyable video (& I missed the opening slide too!!)

Nice one Luke great as always
