I've probably said this before, but it's worth repeating, there is a certain "magic" surrounding railways that some try to capture in photo or video but they come across as flat and passionless. However, that is something that can't be said of Luke (and friends)'s work. There's always a certain je n'est sais quoi about Diggle productions that makes them worth watching over and over again. Cheers!
I must say Luke that I look forward to your videos. They are always of the very best quality and in a most beautiful setting. Your hard work in producing these is most appreciated including the aerial shots which I especially like.
Excellent, thanks for this, great to see Castleton, especially the drone footage. I travelled too and from Castleton every working day for years, and I really miss seeing the stuff through there, always a good location.
Cheers John, aye we were booked a stopper in the loop this week but it ended up coming straight through. There’s a speed restriction over the points at the mo so maybe there’s something broken with em.
I sat here watching and thought - Why do like this video so much? I think it comes down to the location, great videography and quality sound. The aerials knock it out of the park. 10/10 for effort!
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments @doddyvanstraaten2774 - great content, great filming technique, interesting drone work and fascinating subject matter. Thanks for another great episode Luke, look forward to seeing Braunton in Part 2. Cheers from NZ, Marty
Thanks a lot Ramon, me too, the next episode should be up your street in that case. Braunton traversing the steep gradient up to Diggle with a full rake, a sight to behold.
Another great video Luke, star of the show for me has to be that lovely 37, and the 90 it was dragging was pretty nice too. Drone shots were also excellent again! Looking forward to the next one!
Cheers Jimmy, thanks for the tip off on the Northern Belle too in the webcam chat. I wasn't in chat but noticed it in passing and managed to get out for it.
Hi Luke. Good one! Thank you. I've seen the Sir Nigel Gresley numerous times with that single Mk 1 coach attached. I assume, since it has the corridor tender, that is something to allow the footplate crew access to a toilet, maybe tea and coffee, etc. Do you happen to know if that's right? I've always been curious about it. Haven't gotten around to the rag pudding yet, but I did make a Jam Roly Poly the other day (which is sort of ~"close"~ ). . . 🙂
Thanks a lot Mike, you're indeed right they call them 'support coaches', they're for toilets, a bit of catering and extra Crewe that might be needed. You'd have to go some to find a steamer without one these days. Love a jam roly poly, not had one in years!
Did 90001 actually 'fail'? Or did it just need a diesel tug to get back to Crewe from Doncaster since there is no way to do it on the wires without going via London?
That's a good point mate, it would probably be the quickest way to get it across. I think the Class 90 Electric loco group reported it ran into some trouble in the Loversall Jn area light engine and limped back to Donny a couple of hours later. I believe it had to go back over the Calder rather than Diggle because 90's are cleared for 'dead-haul' over the Huddersfield line.
They’re usually just part of the name of the depot/yard, tbh mate I’m not sure what a lot of em stand for. The ones like GBRF, FLHH or DRS are usually sidings owned by those freight companies (GB Railfreight, Freightliner Heavy Haul and Direct Rail Services). Still no idea what S.S.M is at Crewe and see it almost every day lol.

Thanks very much Phil that means a lot, helps having such picturesque scenery as a backdrop but I do my best to do it justice.
Drone shots of Sir Nigel - just superb.
Thanks mate, got very lucky with that one!
I laughed way to hard at the line "fans of boiling water" 😂
Haha love me a big kettle mate 😂
I must say Luke that I look forward to your videos. They are always of the very best quality and in a most beautiful setting. Your hard work in producing these is most appreciated including the aerial shots which I especially like.
Well thank you very much for that Melvyn, that means a lot. Hopefully I can keep bringing you plenty more videos to enjoy.
Excellent, thanks for this, great to see Castleton, especially the drone footage. I travelled too and from Castleton every working day for years, and I really miss seeing the stuff through there, always a good location.
Cheers mate, bet you saw some decent stuff through there!
Very Nice To See u adleast face to face kinda ha ha great video Mate 😃 Cheers From Netherlands
Haha cheers Henri 👍🏻
Had Gresley in my yard before it went to crew about 2 year ago, definitely got up close and personal with it
Bet that was amazing mate, would love to get a close look.
Great Video Again, Luke. Always look forward to your Videos, Mate.
Thanks a lot mate, appreciate that 👍🏻 plenty more to come!
great drone shot of the kettle m8 with the 60 passing great camera work buddy
Thanks a lot pal, such lucky timing with that and Will is the master at getting it into the right spot at the right time.
Another great selection Luke, great drone shots as well. Doesn't look as if anything has been in the loop for a while.
Cheers John, aye we were booked a stopper in the loop this week but it ended up coming straight through. There’s a speed restriction over the points at the mo so maybe there’s something broken with em.

Haha thanks a lot mate, that means an awful lot as I put a lot of effort into things like the sound and videography.
These are great videos full of great shots, full of thriller and no fillers
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments @doddyvanstraaten2774 - great content, great filming technique, interesting drone work and fascinating subject matter. Thanks for another great episode Luke, look forward to seeing Braunton in Part 2. Cheers from NZ, Marty
Another Great Video Luke Some Great Aerial Shots
Thanks very much pal 👍🏻
Yet another great one Luke.👍👍
Thanks very much mate (I can’t find the pink hand haha).
always like watching your diaries Luke not noticed a lot of rail traffic recently though
Thanks a lot mate, yeah it’s been a bit on and off with the closures over Huddersfield way. Fortunately just enough to put a video together 👍🏻
Enjoyed your video,especially the steam.Kind regards
Thanks a lot Ramon, me too, the next episode should be up your street in that case. Braunton traversing the steep gradient up to Diggle with a full rake, a sight to behold.
Nice one Luke the drone shots were fantastic 👍
Many Thanks Les, love that we can get the drone out a bit more regularly now the weathers improved.
Lovely to see Sir Nigel and hear the A4 chime. Thank you😊
Thanks very much, has to be the best chime around!
Thanks for your time and effort bud. Great drone shots.
My pleasure Terry, cheers for the comment 👍🏻
Nice one Luke! Looking forward to the weekly updates and the various specials. At least the next 24 hours might be in the best weather for a change 😂
Haha thanks mate and fingers crossed! Although doing Stafford in August you'd have thought would be nice but was bloody freezing!
Epic Luke....epic..
Cheers Declan, appreciate it mate 👍🏻
Wow what a start to April luke, awesome video pal 🎉🎉🎉
Have to agree mate and Part 2 is shaping up to be just as good, thanks a lot 👍🏻
Another great video Luke, star of the show for me has to be that lovely 37, and the 90 it was dragging was pretty nice too. Drone shots were also excellent again! Looking forward to the next one!
Cheers Keith, definitely a highlight for me too (hence the thumbnail!) but I do love getting out for the steamers.
Another great video. Many thanks Luke, keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot Gary, glad you enjoyed it pal 👍🏻
Great video again Luke. Love the drone shots top notch 👍
Thanks a lot Geoff 👍🏻
Excellent fella! Great drone footage.👍👍
I captured the Lancashire Fusilier at Preston on the same day...the weather was shocking!!!
Bloody awful day mate, fingers crossed we start getting some decent periods of dry weather coming up! And thanks very much.
Very nice, the black 5 was the best one, in my opinion!
Cheers Jimmy, thanks for the tip off on the Northern Belle too in the webcam chat. I wasn't in chat but noticed it in passing and managed to get out for it.
@@DiggleJunction you're welcome!
Great footage Luke, well done!
Thanks as always mate 👍🏻
Really nice one Luke. Great locations, great drone shots. Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot Bill, glad you enjoyed it mate.
Great content as usual Luke.
Thanks a lot Tony, much appreciated.
Thanks a lot Luke, some great Loco’s and some great shots there.
Cheers John, always appreciated.
Rag puddings are sold on Stockport msrket by Emma on the cheese stall , about £2 each and taste fantastic.
Not bad at all! The Diggle Hotel does a cracking rag pudding 👍🏻
Superb Luke, thank you.
Thanks a lot Terence, appreciate the support as always.
Excellent as usual Luke thank you
Thanks a lot Sheila, much appreciated!
Top video again. 👍😎
Thanks a lot mate 👍🏻

@@DiggleJunction The secret is to use 10x the amount of jam any recipe suggests!~ Good to know that about the coach. Thanks!
If on wires, it could have ran north via Edinburg (ECML) then via Carstairs, Carlisle etc back to Crewe (WCML),
That would be one hell of a long way round haha.
Did 90001 actually 'fail'? Or did it just need a diesel tug to get back to Crewe from Doncaster since there is no way to do it on the wires without going via London?

could you please explain all the abbreviations you put after the loco details thanks

For 6our 5000 sub special here's a suggestion 24hrs at crewe
That would be great mate, if there was any way I could get somewhere to catch everything using the avoider i'd definitely do it.
Crewe Casey Lane, though as soon as it's dark you' d miss loco numbers.
Does anyone know what Doncaster CHS refers to please ?
Hi mate, it stands for Doncaster Carriage Holding Sidings 👍🏻 I believe they’re the ones to the south of the station.
