I used to work at Bescot Marshalling yard from the 1974 to around 1998 and it is nothing like that anymore so sad to see it now just one big piles of Track Ballast on the old loco sidings. Nice to watch and bring back happy memories 🙂
This actually makes me sad seeing this, I remember growing up passing through here on way to Birmingham loving seeing all the different classes of fright trains, now...Bescots an empty shell of its glory days...
Thanks Bob,time is really marching on now,can,t believe this is all nearly 20 years ago,just enjoyable to share it out now,......good for you tube....regards Brian.
Beautiful sheds bescot. Never new them close up like this, but now I wished I did. Just wished they looked after their locos better, pretty dirty , where’s the loco wash

Where did it all go ? thanks Brian
Hi Regards the class 92 at the end. Was this a 2000 footage or late 90s. Thanks
Hi this would be 2000 footage as it was edited in chronological order...thanks,they hadn’t long Been cleared to run on the West Coast Mainline
@@BrianTuckerRailvideos Ahh. Any idea exactly when they did start. 1999 or 2000 thanks
Just outta interest, there was a buncha diesels lined up - were they the same ones back from the late 2000s?
No the withdrawn lineup would be changing all the time.
+Brian Tucker its weird watching this after I've come back from Bescot..... Feels like I've jumped time zones!
