This is a fantastic video so great to see the LD &ER in action and also high Marham power station generating electricity all now sadly gone

Lovely enjoyable insight into what has largely disappeared. Well presented. Thank you for sharing.

makes me homesick for Worksop

Brilliant production. What a shame that we have lost so much of our industry. We will one day realise the critical damage it has done to our economic security.

good piece of industrial history. Thank you.

Oh what we have lost. As a nation we will one day realise the tragic mistake of losing our industry. A brilliant presentation. Those really were the days, great people, superb country. Hope it recovers one day, for our grand kids and all their futures.

A wonderful film, enjoyed every second!

When we think of Colliery closures we rightly think of the jobs lost by Miners and others employed by the Collieries. What we don't always think of are the many others who relied upon the coal industry one of which were the rail workers. When you look at the area on an Ordnance Survey map there are miles of abandoned tracks in the area and it does make you realise how many it would have taken to maintain and operate those tracks and other ail related facilities.

Absolute shame all those lines have disappeared. What a great insight

Thanks for sharing this. Another great historical film. RIP Doug.

In the early 1970’s until early 80’s My dad was a shunter at tinsley for many a year, I use to go sometimes when I was about 8 years old and watch the trains working. He eventually ended up working in the control tower until he retired in 1984 due to ill health. He passed away in 1986 at the age of 60. God I miss him. It’s a disgrace what the government did.

Absolutely phenomenal footage, takes me right back as a child , thank you for sharing

Excellent!

Amazing great to see whats now gone . Thanks for posting .

brilliant !!

Great films, awful music.

I wonder if my dad was driving any of the trains, might have been.🤔 Cleethorpes to Manchester loco hauled trains was normally made up of Mk 2s stock TSO, TSO, BFK & TSO. Were as a Cleethorpes to Birmingham (via Lincoln, Newark and Nottingham) loco hauled was normally made up of Mk 1s SK, SK, BSK and CK.

Thank you very much for this superb video on saddle tanks.

Great video , recently retired from Immingham TMD "what little is left of it ) started IMM in Jan 86 we had lot of jobs working to Tinsley

Great stuff heee

Another great video Stuart.

Absolutely superb once I’d found the mute button, what awful pointless music.

10 out of 10

I remember as a Brinsworth lad all these yards being expanded in the late 50's taking g away our favourite fishing ponds and bluebell woods...

Crack video. Thank you for uploading this.

Nice to a brief glimpse of Jean Diamond who worked at Central after being a signal woman in Strines box.

Amazing video

This is FANTASIC ....Many thanks for sharing it with us

Brilliant film. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

I remember it being there as I was in the Matlock shop and I believe a former Blue Peter presenter Simon Groom? Was in the shop and he gave me a card with the Scotsman on and signed it for me. I still have it somewhere unfortunately I didn’t get to see run on the line.

doug you are truly a star...if it wasnt for you all this history would have gone..many many thanks

i worked at tinsley park..and lived at wincobank..i now live at chapletown..so good to see the old sidings and meadowhall and blackburn

Has peak got a connection to the network?

Quite apart from the fascinating industrial and rural landscapes, the author of these videos has seen fit to accompany the scenes with several classical musical quotations - anyone who can name every piece is a music aficionado indeed!

Those old DMU sets really did do their bit for the environment!

Hi Stuart love it

Had the Filey Holiday Camp Station closed by the time was made?

Excellent footage by Stuart. I hope for another tender loco to visit Peak Rail next year?

Great stuff, looking forward to more of this ... thanks for sharing...

Another great steam day video. Well done Stuart.

So wonderfuly atmospheric. I can smell this video. I love it.

Smashing footage. Love this. Thankyou to a look back in time.

This is simply superb.

Yet another amazing video thank you 😊

Excellent...thanks.

The bridge shown @ 2:20 or rather the wall holding up the railway line, is where I used to play as a nipper in the 80's. That wall on River Sheaf Walk seemed huge as a 10-year-old and was a real challenge to climb but well worth it just to see the trains go thundering by.

Excellent footage there. Especially the footage of the 9F. I rode behind her on my first ever visit to the railway when I was only 12 years old. Any plans for to put any footage of Bahamas visit to the railway?

Still a busy place! I regularly work into there with container trains. Plus steel and aggregate trains are also busy to and from as well!

Thankyou so much for posting this-i am a bit annoyed with myself,i moved to Chesterfield in 2003 but had no idea of its coal and railway history so never found these lines till 2019 when they formed an extension of the transpennine trail. I had assumed locos used in the final view years would have been double header Class 20,as was seen coming into and out of Arkwright Colliery on the relayed GCR at Duckmanton Junction. Just a small mistake i noticed with the video though-the single platform you view on the Clowne Branch is infact the Midland Railway,whearas the double track station and booking hall is actually LD & ECR,and has recently been partially restored with a replica platform edge and steam train outline in the tunnel! 😊

Buyuk is mentioned in From Russia with Love. Isn't it just outside Istanbul?
