Fantastic to watch and listen to!

Hello l like the mirrlees europhoenix class 37901 engine on tick over sounds so much nicer and better idle sound and the sounds of the starter motors on Europhoenix mirrlees class 37901 is my favourite mirrlees class 37901 in Europhoenix livery

Theres all new drainage gone in from signal box to the new goods loop on the right as you look towards the station ! I was down the trench at the weekend getting covered in pea gravel and this brought back good memories of working next to running class 66s 😉

Bit of a crazy B going backwards, but excellent nonetheless. I know that I am Completely lost to virtual travel when I recognised some of the curved buildings on the left from freight trips I have been on😂

Looking at the track bed shows how thinned out or "rationalised" the running roads are, compared to when they were built. Track radius may have improved timings slightly, but it's obvious how much more rail the area once accommodated. Slow lines and loops have been eliminated, as well as track to private sidings and railway sheds. Trees would never have encroached in steam days as they do today. It was much easier to put a stopping train out the way of an express. Now everything goes at the speed of the slowest occupant. Is it naïve to ask if network rail should put in more metals before going for faster trains?

We had a friend of the family who was a signal man in the 50's and 60's based in Sheffield. If your service was not up to scratch you manned Hathersage box with gas holder at the bottom of the hill. Tinsley yard could be challenge on wet days when the high tension national grid towers could arc and spark as the insulators partially failed to do there job. The sidings being partially cleared on the entry to Grindleford are not the originals used for loads for the dams at Howden and Derwent ?

Thanks for this video, very informative. I was looking forward to the section between Dore station and the Abbey Lane bridge as the workers have been doing reconfigurations and this area cannot be seen from the road and anywhere else? Do you happen to have this section as well? I think they have widened, or strengthened a bridge over the river to allow an extra line.

Love the Leicester LIP ❤ Do you work there? Nice video 👍

These ones are a lot less smoky. The old engines were obviously tired.
