Another cracking video mate. Massive memories of what was familiar and seemed it would last forever. Particularly liked the shots of Saltley and Ripple lane. All that's left of the former is the scrapyard. And George and I passed by Ripple Lane last week and it's just a pile of dirt!! There are some sidings and freight traffic, but the depot is gone completely. Tinsley as i remember too. All those sidings..... Just so much gone........ Keep em coming mate!!!!
I had the pleasure of driving past the 'Three Magpies' in Brinsworth a few days ago mate, so for old times sake I drove down the approach road at Tinsley.... I honestly wished I hadnt 🙄🙄🙄
Hi, the 85s are stabled at Ripple Lane, Barking. They electrified just the one road from memory in the very late 80s/early 90s when the North London line was electrified at 25Kv for use by the electric hauled container traffic.
