Many thanks for this series guys, I've really enjoyed it. Living to the south-east of York within sight of Drax this was one of my local railways. To my shame apart from the obvious muddy tunnels I've neglected it over the years but no longer as this summer I'll be out and about. Thank you once again for opening my eyes.
Thanks Andy and team for this really excellent study of the Hull and Barnsley. It's been fascinating throughout and I for one really appreciate the five months of effort that have gone into it. Yes, really enjoyed it!
The wheelsets with the woodruff keys will be for mounting eccentrics that would drive valve gear probably Stephensons. The wheel sets look to be off an industrial steam locomotive
Stairfoot rounded off the series brilliantly, you've done a fantastic job it's been great to watch. I'm looking forward to your future endeavours. My missus was born in 1957, I'd say it was a vintage year but it depends what mood she's in!!! Thanks once again.
Thanks guys, a thoroughly enjoyable series. Thanks for the sacrifices you made along the way to allow us to see the route without having to get our feet wet!
Hello there David, it sure was wet in places lol. We have had a great time making this series and it was a pleasure to edit the episodes. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
Very lovely ending especially in the area local to me. I couldn’t believe how railway manic stairfoot used to be and the giant viaduct going over where the roundabout is now
In Respectful Commemoration of those who went before us: Your series gentle touches the buffers. A series that I certainly shall watch again, gleaning what I have surely missed. To the ALW Team: Thank you all, never forgetting your Son, Andy: Sir Thomas L-W of Gamington. All the best. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎 🌠
Glad you enjoyed it Anthony, we have filmed an entire series on another railway thats to edit in the future. The Hull & Barnsley Railway series was so interesting do document and film. It was so different and Quirky. Now sadly all but deleted from history.
The item you was looking at that went outside of the goods shed or goods yard is called a loading gauge to make sure that any goods wagons weren’t in gauge, so as not to foul over head bridge’s or any of the tunnels on the railway lines
While you visited Barnsley, if you didn't go to the Barnsley Colliery, it's worth a visit and a video. There's still the original building, mine cart track and a piece of railway track that now acts as a speed bump.
Hello Andy that barrier is called a loading gauge and thank you for a great series of videos on the hull and barnsley.p.s H&B + Midland allowed the highest gauge at 13ft 9 ins tall.
Ah thats what it is . Thank You, I never knew about the higher gauge in that area. The Midland i have not covered much, but the H&B certainly had its quirks :)
I've really enjoyed this series , (I view along with Google earth). A pity you couldn't find any photos of the Stairfoot terminus apart from the viaduct. They seem to have made a good job of eradicating all previous railway existence apart from the token set of wheels - a shame really but I guess that's called progress. Thank you for all the effort you and the team put into these videos - as I say, very much enjoyed and look forward to the next. Regards Richard.
Hello there Richard, it’s great to hear that you have enjoyed the series. Google earth is an amazing tool. There are a few photographs on google however I don’t have the rights to use them.
At the start behind mcdonalds, the land had been dug up a few years ago. Can't remember why but there used to be an old, abandoned shelter that ran slighty under ground.

Hello Yorkie, it’s been a pleasure seeing you in the comments as we have gone along the railway.
Thanks Andy and team for this really excellent study of the Hull and Barnsley. It's been fascinating throughout and I for one really appreciate the five months of effort that have gone into it. Yes, really enjoyed it!
Hello Stephen, thank you very much. It has been hard work but a great sense of achievement.
Really enjoyed watching this series! Fascinating look into what was! Looking forward to more content from you folks!
Hello there James, thank you very much. We have recently finished filming the next railway series :)
Well done guys much appreciated
Much appreciated:)

Hello Seamus :) 1957 sure was a good year then

Hello :) it sure is crazy to think there was a canal and a massive railway hub. Thank you so much for watching and commenting

Hello Rab, thank you very much indeed. Sir Thomas was the inventor and all time helper of ALW Research Team, it may one day be his channel :)
Well done guys, a really interesting series to watch, looking forward to the next one!👏
Thank You
Brilliant conclusion to the series Andy and the team. The loading gauge would have had bells on. 🚂🚴♂️
Ah that’s what the pulley’s were for :)
thoroughly enjoyed the full series from start to finish thanks guys for the excellent work and sharing
Our pleasure!
Throughly enjoyed the series. I don't live far from Barnsdale Tunnel so l had a look at the portal near the A1. Thanks again for the uploads.

The bit of ironwork early on looks like one half of a smashed up pickaxe. Once again a great video guy's.
Hello Steve, good thinking on the pickaxe! Thanks for watching and commenting:)
Good end to a fantastic series , truly enjoyed it
Hello there, thank you very much
Awesome buddy nice one

Glad you enjoyed it Anthony, thanks for watching and commenting along the way. More series to come in the future :)

Hello 👋 we have passed the colliery in the past and may go one day :)

It used to go through my village just outside of Hull.

If you go to stair foot terminus there's sign posts with pictures on.
Good video mate keep up the good work stay safe
Thanks Sammy

Hello Callam, that’s very interesting to know! Thanks for watching and commenting:)
That height post is called a loading gauge
Hello there 👋
Thanks very much for the information :)
We have the next Railway series filmed, it should be out in a couple of months.
05:43 I wonder if that building in the background is relevant.
I believe they were Midland Railway cottages. Good spot :) thanks for commenting
5:11 gallows, double hanging. that's what I think it is called, nowt to do with the railway :)
Hi Daniel:)
@@ALWResearchTeam doing email now, did a bit of homework as nosy, watching a 1969 film. so near this, all gone now, railway. Doing some links now.
5:11 loading gauge
Ah Thank You :)
Loading gauge.
Hello there :)

3.27 is half of a pick axe head
