Another great video thanks, yeah the old 25b/55g shed unearthed again, 45596 Bahamas was based there from 1950 until 1957 I believe I have a book on the old shed that stood there called hillhouse memoirs will have to dig it out again, nice to see the former shed site being brought back into use again
Another very interesting and educational video, thanks. If possible, it would be useful if dates of filming were included in the written text in the description (sorry if you have and Iv'e missed it).
Fair point. I'll do that in future. For the record, the Hillhouse filming was yesterday (December 8) and the Brighouse filming was last week (Wednesday I think)
If Brighouse is to be upgraded all that’s needed is longer platforms. Beyond that one thing that’s desperately needed on the L&Y is an overtaking facility. I’d four track Mytholmroyd-Hebden Bridge and add another platform at Rochdale on the east side of the station.
I remember when Huddersfield to Halifax line reopened. Giving Brighouse its station back. Was happy then. More so now!
Great video

I remember seeing Bahamas in action at the old Dinting railway many years ago
Super news. And it makes sense. Even the computer mock up is minimal. Spending the money where is is best used on the long term project. 😊
Totally agree. It's better to spend money where it will have a long-term benefit
Lots of history associated with railroading in this area. Also lots of changes occuring in the area. Thanks again,good video.
No surprise at the history since the Brits invented the railway.
Great video, needs a main to main at brighouse as well
❤❤❤❤👍👍😊😊

@sarahandwills Many thanks. In no way is it mean't as criticism, just a suggestion.

All unnecessary. There were 4 tracks almost all the way from Leeds to Manchester in the 1960s until two were lifted.
But not designed for 100 mph!
So what you seem to be saying is, you think the present 2 lines are fine and well should be left alone and is unnecessary?
