- A class 47 cab ride hauling a Branch Line Society rail tour around freight lines in the Manchester area. Bredbury stone sidings to Stockport via Phillip's Park and Denton. 1992
Unbelievable to compare then and now: the amount of litter then, and how stations have smartened up so much (not Ardwick haha). No Platform 0 at Stockport yet!
Outstanding Video and with the drivers knowledge (wow) made it very interesting. Many thanks for uploading. All the best... Steve!
Very knowledgeable driver knows all about the area past and present!
Amazing seeing how many lines had gone but junction pointwork still there
I think I was on this railtour! Was it leap year day 29/Feb/1992?
Fascinating, thanks. Good cab chat. Park station closed three years later.
I grew up in Woodley, fascinating to go past the back of the precinct and see my old home from the viaduct.
That driver was a mind of information, great video and thank for sharing.
What's with the faint backing music? Sounds awful. Commentary is great, though.
Pick of the pops mate. Not 'alf
Super video, filling in a lot of information between what I knew in the 1960s and the present.
But WHY didn't they just turn left at Guide Bridge straight to Denton? Doesn't make sense!
Oh OK, I'll answer my own question! I see it was a rail tour so I guess they wanted to see the sights!
29:49 29:50 😊
I followed this route today using the Google Maps and it’s incredible to match the then with the now thanks to all involved
I was trying to find where it started, any chance you could tell me? Cheers :)
Outstanding, interesting knowledge on offer on what is a cracking visit to the past.
Fab video, worked many a train over these rails in the late 80s and early 90s. Who are the train crew do you know?
The main commentary is almost certainly from Walter Wood, Traction Inspector at the time, I think this film is taken from an old VHS cassette, I seem to remember a few were produced around the North West by AJC Productions.
Outstanding knowledge....i started on railway mid 80s...and on the footplate 1989 there where loads of 'old boy' drivers who would impart there wisdom upon you ....never a dull moment😊
Great trip around the rails of S&E Manchester, the sidings @ Ash Bridge Jct before Heaton Norris Jct was called Jubilee Sidings.
Absolutely fascinating stuff that took me back to my youth. The driver was interesting to listen to, but factually incorrect on several of occasions.
Which occasions?
