- The Disused Railway That Used To Take Coals To Derbyshire - The Midland Railway in Nottinghamshire
Join me as i continue my journey along the former Midland Railway from Pleasley in Nottinghamshire to Tibshelf Sidings in Derbyshire.
In Part 2 we leave behind Sutton Colliery, where we finished off in Part 1, and head back to Skegby Junction rejoining the main Midland Railway. The first location along the way is White borough Station and the site of this.
Next up its Tibshelf where the line once passed below the Great Central Railway and onto Tibshelf and Newton Station.
Finally we take a long curve to the end of the line beside the former Tibshelf Sidings.

I've commented before about how grateful we should be for railway nerds back in the day, those archive pics are brilliant.
Good stuff again, Ant! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Ian very kind
Have to say,excellent video and music again.Because I worked hundreds of trains over all those routes,,it has great affection for me.That signal has only been there since the route has become a walking,and it indicates a former railway.Had it been reality it would have been on the up side,although there are still today,right hand side signals,namely on the Great Western,for right hand side drive steam locomotives.Going back to Whiteborough,there is now a historic way of working for coal trains,and it would have been nice to explain.I note some photography by Arthur Fletcher,(flash),as we used to call him,he was the driver in the runaway that took place between Whiteborough and Tibshelf.I note to a picture of Tibshelf East S.B.Amongst the staff manning it,was a lady called Olive Holmes,probably the First Lady signaller in those day’s.Her husband,Fred Holmes was a driver at Westhouses.
If only “black gold” still had a high value! 😢
Great scrapyard back in the day at newton 👍
I love this part of the trails espcially where the remaining rails are... happy to hear diminsdale colliery getting a mention..
nice to see the station still standing and the signal in good condition shame these railway lines closed sad there's no signal boxes around look forward to the next video
Hi Ant
Great video, the 80’s pic of Tibby station was when it was George Smith’s Car Dismantlers, went there many a time 👍proper posh housing development now!
Signal positioned for Driver's sighting where otherwise it may be obscured, the Up Erewash service was a Liverpool 'LIME' St to Norwich. Great stuff, very many happy memories in the 70/80's of the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire Coalfields on many an 'East Midlands Ranger' Ticket !
What a fantastic little film. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks very much 😊
My workshop and forge windows are made using the glass block's from winnings A /B colliery. BLACKWELL. Also my shower cubicle. The walls of my forge have the frogs facing outwards of All the mines around this area too. My favorite being Alma colliery and Bonds Main. Being an ex miner I love keeping a little of my industry alive and in my daily thoughts.
Another great video, Ant. I just love the old bridges and architecture, and finding tracks on an old road was a great find. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your rail explores. Don't change format it works really well. As for signals on the " wrong side" They sometimes were and still are sighted on the opposite to make them more visible to Drivers. As a recently retired Driver we had a few scattered about in my area.
I walk around the little section of old track bed. It tends to be a local dumping site! The path where the tracks are visible leads to Blackwell and came out opposite of what was the Blackwell Hotel.
Asked you to do this one ages ago so thank you for doing it,You have made my week.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you. I'll do a few more around here this year
Those small, apparently random bridges that you commented on are called 'Accommodation Bridges'. Where landowner's land is split by the railway the rail company are required by law to provide access between.
Great work, Ant! 🙏🏼😀❤️
Bloody brilliant!!! Love these series mate. Appreciated, cheers cobber.
Cheers Marc thank you
Super super super Ant-- GREAT VIDEO.... great choices of music... you should be well proud of your content-- get some sellable DVDs made and sorted... your best view clips all in one... am sure the fan base would purchase-- I would .
Great video Ant. The signal is unusual being on right hand side but there are right hand signals even new colourlights today. They are right handed if it makes them easier to see. That one would have looked better if it was facing the other way so it would have been on normal side
Great footage over the past 2 parts. It makes me smile when i recognise some of those whose archive pics you have used. Thanks Ant, looking forward to the third part
Thanks for watching Gary glad you enjoyed them
Another fantastic video today. Watched it at the hospital. Really brighten my day. Enjoy the week, and see you on the next, Ant! 😊
I hope you are okay
Superb explore. Beautiful bridges and scenery. Love the photo at the start with all the railway men in their smart uniforms. Before and after photos very nostalgic. Thank you Ant. Brilliant video.
Another fascinating vid. Love the music too very New Order-ish at times.
Love these vids but sad to think all these communities are still struggling to get back on there feet after all the pit closures sad times
Went to Pleasley Pit 150th Anniversary event yesterday; Pleasley doesn't appear to be struggling but New Houghton was the pit village. I don't imagine Pleasley or Glapwell being the worst ex mining communities from South Yorkshire to North Korea...
@@danielsellers8707 I’m from Goldthorpe never recovered trust me definitely no walking routes on old pit railways here overgrown an full of rubbish pity because they would link up for miles
Awesome I love 20s. Hi from NZ
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Thank you for another really enjoyable video exploring railway history
Glad you enjoyed it thanks very much
Have watched both parts so far. Such a fantastic insight into what it once was. Its interesting I saw a picture of Westhouses depot recently which is just below Tibshelf on the map
Thanks very much Ben. Part 3 is pretty good then we'll move onto Westhouses
@@TrekkingExploration I look forward to that 😎
@benGBRf 🙂🙂🙂
This is getting better with each vid, bring on No.3!!!! That signal was a bit of a mish mash, I spy a standard roadside lamp column🤔🤔🤔
Brilliant
Thank you
Fascinating! Thanks Ant
Thanks Michael
A very enjoyable follow on Ant. It's such a shame that all those collieries and assorted railway connections had to close with the many redundancies that prevailed in the region. It must have been a real hard time in the 80s/90s for the colliery and rail staff to take in what was about to change their lives. Anyhow, with the photos and your great research, this is another great video. Many thanks.
@ 13:25 Along the Monsal Trail - Which used to be a Railway Line until 1968 when it closed - there are a few Bridges that cross it for the Animals / Farmer to cross - it's only 8 1/2 miles Long - with wonderful views & 6 or 8 long Tunnels - well worth it Ant 🤔🚂🚂🚂
Waiting for this. brilliant as always. Thank you
Thanks very much indeed. Part 3 should be with you Monday 🙂
another great vid Ant all very interesting.
Thanks very much Philip
Thanks again for these railway videos, I just love them. Wish somebody did a video about lines around my area, there was lines all over the place. Chris
Thanks Chris. Where abouts are you?
Great video as always Ant....
Thanks very much Chris
Excellent, thanks!
Thanks very much Angela
Another cool video Ant!
Thanks so much Leanne
Great video which I really enjoyed watching, just a few things to clarify, first off the first photo in the video is on the GCR approaching Tibshelf, the photo of the class 20's at Skegby Jn that you attributed to myself (Richard Bradley) is in fact by Dave Norman and also the photo of the class 20's by Dave Peachey at Tibshelf Crossing is in fact approaching Tibshelf and Newton Station, this section was part of my length when I worked on the Pway, in fact I did the last official track patrol on the line before it closed .
Regards Richard Bradley
11.26 the car is a early 1970s hillman avenger .
Theres loads of sleepers in the undergrowth at Skegby junction . You only saw the one at the start of your video !
Great video! Thanks. Just wondered have you ever considered doing the old thorncliffe chapeltown to meadowhall Sheffield line
Loved part 1 & 2 as it’s my patch.
When can we expect part 3 Ant?
Part 3 is on Mike it's 3 videos ago from the most recent one
The over bridges you was talking about had to be built when the railway cut through farm land so the farmers could gain access these were called occupation bridges
Looking forward to what you find at Tibself sidings...i know whats in there...hope you find what i did...great video Ant, proffesional as normal...well done mate 👍
I hope I found what you did now 😉😂
@@TrekkingExploration plenty to find in there, i know you found the big one...have you found the other gems in there? I look forward to the next video...
😎❤️👍
Thanks for watching Chris
I wonder if the signal was placed on the wrong side to make it visible to approaching traffic from the other side of the Chesterfield Road bridge?
How many different types of coal did it take?
ru going to do any more in wales
That's my plan next year 🙂
