Some very interesting stuff there - reminds me of when I worked in the city from 1990-94 and commuted five days a week from Barnsley. Loved the 08 speeding along, when did the station pilot duty end I wonder. Parcels traffic long since gone (except for theWCML). Thanks for putting this on.
Very good indeed! Parcels traffic - now there's a memory if ever there was one! Had to chuckle at the driver of the 08 giving it everything in the sunshine, was almost as if the film had been speeded up. Wonder if you could still stop late and film there now..............
Excellent footage! If only trains at Sheffield were as good as that today...
Fantastic night shot of the 08 with the HST in the background
Wish i could go back to the good old days, only ten years old when this was done!

Do you get on the title of this video as "Trains at Sheffield 1991"

is the 2 carriage train around 3mins the 'light mail'!? (Pun on 'night mail', obviously!)
2:16 HST ramping up to full power, very nice.
Only just discovered that I watched this clip some five years ago! It's now a multiple-unit mecca. Has Sheaf House been demolished, I take it??
Yes it has; I keep telling Matt how no-one wanted to be in Park Hill 30 years ago and now they're selling for £150k + !!!
lovely stuff!
Nice view of sheaf house gone but not forgotton
good old hst at 2:20 :)
Wish I was there when real trains roamed the rails.
was a fun time
