Brilliant idea, very well executed. I find these really captivating, especially the ones of places and subjects I know. From the transitions to the sound effects and the choice of music - it really draws you in. 👍🏻
Thanks Shaun! This video is one of my early projects I have since put out many more - here is one recent example of Newcastle: th-cam.com/video/pxzkSJMvyVo/w-d-xo.html
Fabuleux ! Mille mercis pour ce montage merveilleux. Même au pays du chemin de fer, les rails ont laissé la place aux automobiles... Et ces aiguillages aux courbes élégantes qu'on imagine commandés par autant d'aiguilleurs arc-boutés sur les leviers... Disparus ! Le temps est un ogre jamais rassasié !
What a superb way to travel through time; well done, sir! It really brings home the fact that the mainline railways of Britain were largely untouched until the drastic changes from the late 1980's onwards whilst preparing for privatization when the engineers swept away all that wasn't vital to the electric age. How soleless the modern images are by comparison.
This is fantastic, amazing, I feel great respect for the work, the thinkers, inventors, engineers, the workers and the photographers of this presentation!
Great to see the Central Station over the years see the diamond xings again takes me back to when i worked with the Signal Engineers in the 60,s in the Central Station. Thanks for sharing a great pieice of history and Engineering .Mike
Wonderful pictoral video of my favourite station, always remember my dad showing and telling all about the famous diamond crossing as a lad and just marvelling at the shear complexities of them, a marvel of what this country could achieve, and also the the unforgivable and sad downgrading of our wonderful railway system, thanks to people like yourself and the photographers for keeping a very important part of our history alive
A lot of the "downgrading" was for good purpose, as sad as it is. The much lower maintenance with the new points over the diamond crossing would have been safer and cheaper. Sorry to be that guy but the new system was put here for a reason.
Truly awesome! That track layout was so complex years ago, but looking at the area again now, I can't imagine how it all fitted in unless some bridging has been demolished.
Liked it the way it was. Thank you so much, best thing I have ever seen and the music perfect. This should win multiple awards, have you entered anything. You should. THANK YOU
The remnants of the buildings bottom right, show how the railways have decreased from their peak in the early to mid 20th century, to where they are now. The buildings were bustling busy places once, reliant on the railways industry. No longer.
I watch quite a bit of You Tube. This piece of film is very unique and totally amazing how it has been compiled!! How do people think up this type of thing!! Excellent and of course, well done... John
さくら more likely that a lot of the modern pictures seems to be taken by crappy digital cameras such as web cams that are used to monitor for example weather. the old ones used film stock which is pretty high res even for 8mm film. Smack up a good dslr or even phone camera and modern tech wins.
One of the nice features of the station was that the 1959 signalbox was at the end of the footbridge so you could actually see your train approaching on the track diagram.
Really nice work. I grew up liking the trains as a kid in the 90s when the intercity 225s became an exciting thing and only just found out how complicated the points system used to be. I had no idea the car park used to be platforms!
I usually don't like youtube being used for slide shows but this is way better, well made and the music fits so well. I know i'm late but thankyou for this interesting video. I have that old photo of the worlds largest crossing on my work pc, the track men back then had a nightmare I bet when they saw the plans for that lot lol.
I can still remember the platforms where the car park is now for local trains. I can remember going through a barrier to catch the train to North Shields in the seventies and then the train going through a complicated set of points and then to a much bigger Manors station. All gone now and there's only one unstaffed platform at Manors.
Yes indeed, and you will have noticed the third-rail electrification in the 1960's. The Tyne Loop was de-electrified and the EMU's transferred to the Southern Region, where they survived for many years. They were classified 2EPB.
Remember the model railway they had running around the Xmas tree, you put a penny in the slot to start an engine off on its journey, also the big red machine that stamped out your name onto a metal strip , and the Record your own voice machine ! Brilliant !
First class, my mum comes from ashington and when we went to visit nan, we always to the ferry from Ireland and got the train to Newcastle and the lovely curved platform always impressed me
What a brilliant clip of timeline on the railways.i wonder if anyone else has done this near their hometown? Also shame to see those branch lines turned into car parks.thank you for posting
I'm from the East Midlands - but that is lovely photography and film-reel showing the ever-changing and sadly the decline of our beloved railway system throughout the decades - well done!
This is fuckin mint tbh, t see how much this fuckin place has changed is outstanding. Think about living back then is unbelievable and how much we’ve changed is so like amazing
It got bigger again; the metro has two platforms which you can't see as they are underground beneath the north (Neville Street) side of the main station, and there is a new island platform - numbered 5 to 8 - built along and half out of the south side of the station. The entrance to platforms 7 and 8 is an opening through the south wall, which is decorated like a Roman doorway and an inscription about Hadrian's Wall - Gateway to the Roman Empire. The station is probably the busiest it has ever been, at least as far as passenger numbers are concerned - freight trains are pretty infrequent nowadays.
The image for 2005 isn't from 2005- Arriva Cross COuntry started operating in 2007 and there were no Northern Rail liveried units until about 2007 as well.
1920 Parcel department right top of picture. There is a sight called Old maps on line co.uk maps from 1850 on wards showing the development of the railways its very well detailed giving track lay out as it changes through time, Fascinating stuff.
It is really amazing how complicated the pointwork at Newcastle used to be compared to its present state.
Yeah I agree do you live in Newcastle
Excellent, I remember from 1966-68 when I traveled by train from South Shields to Newcastle daily for work and was always amazed at the crossings.
Now it's simplified, no longer unique but also less complicated.
There are less than half the lines and platforms, it's easy to simplify when there is less to manage.
Then they converted to diesel right before the oil crisis. Oopsy!
Brilliant idea, very well executed. I find these really captivating, especially the ones of places and subjects I know. From the transitions to the sound effects and the choice of music - it really draws you in. 👍🏻

Stunning. One cant resist keep watching such stuff. It keeps my attention. Well made. 100 times thumbs up.

Excellent video!!! My most beautiful station in England!!! Thanks for making and sharing this history!!!
What can I say ,great video work and thank you for letting us see the past .Graham.
The remnants of the buildings bottom right, show how the railways have decreased from their peak in the early to mid 20th century, to where they are now. The buildings were bustling busy places once, reliant on the railways industry. No longer.
Before Covid hit, railway usage in the UK was considerably higher than it was in the mid to late 20th century
What a video, one of the best videos I have ever watched. Brings back a few memories.
This is first class very clever and very well made.
I'd give this 10 thumbs ups if I could.
TransportFanUK ok
That was excellent, it reminds me of the changing view out of the conservatory window in the original Time Machine movie!
Brilliant absolutely brilliant very well done and eye opening seeing all the changes to the track layout.
I was amazed by the simplification of the track work over time. Well done.
Excelent! I love Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
A great film, and I was glad to see the third-rail electrification of the suburban lines shown in the pictures circa 1960.
This is a superb film of a classic location! Thank you!
Actually, it is a work of inspired genius. Bravo!
I had a book when i was a kid, that had a before and after picture of this incredible track layout! Great edit thank you so much!!
I watch quite a bit of You Tube. This piece of film is very unique and totally amazing how it has been compiled!! How do people think up this type of thing!! Excellent and of course, well done... John
Thank you John. I am a bit late in updating my youtube channel - there are more recent films on my fb page: facebook.com/timetravelimages. Best. James
Man, i wish I could go back in time and witness that yard at its finest. Outstanding video!
Why the old images look better than of now?
they are probably more crisp because older cameras had less detail and no colours
さくら more likely that a lot of the modern pictures seems to be taken by crappy digital cameras such as web cams that are used to monitor for example weather. the old ones used film stock which is pretty high res even for 8mm film. Smack up a good dslr or even phone camera and modern tech wins.
Because the old pictures have steam engines instead of dirty diesels
One of the nice features of the station was that the 1959 signalbox was at the end of the footbridge so you could actually see your train approaching on the track diagram.
Amazing video.. what a time travel!! Brilliant work!!👌👌
Really nice work. I grew up liking the trains as a kid in the 90s when the intercity 225s became an exciting thing and only just found out how complicated the points system used to be. I had no idea the car park used to be platforms!
That photo from 1992 is ahead of its time
What a wonderful video. Thank you for creating this.
a delightful video. that was amazing
I usually don't like youtube being used for slide shows but this is way better, well made and the music fits so well. I know i'm late but thankyou for this interesting video. I have that old photo of the worlds largest crossing on my work pc, the track men back then had a nightmare I bet when they saw the plans for that lot lol.
What can one say but WOW perhaps? Really interesting and thanks for who took the trouble to do this.
Amazing!!! ...Fabulous, fantastic video.
I can still remember the platforms where the car park is now for local trains. I can remember going through a barrier to catch the train to North Shields in the seventies and then the train going through a complicated set of points and then to a much bigger Manors station. All gone now and there's only one unstaffed platform at Manors.
WOAH THE CAR PARK USED TO BE PLATFORMS!!?
That's the case with most stations in Britain.
@@Simon-eu2hz It appears it was removed sometime in the 80's.
another minor shock is the building on the edge of the car park suddenly turn into flats.
Yes indeed, and you will have noticed the third-rail electrification in the 1960's. The Tyne Loop was de-electrified and the EMU's transferred to the Southern Region, where they survived for many years. They were classified 2EPB.
@@dvferyance the platforms were removed in 1987-1988
A superb piece of work
My local station! I love this; thank you.
Beautiful. And wonderful music !
Brilliantly done my friend, loved it !
Imagine life back then-sweet in every home and heart. Why does that tear me up in sadness?
This Is a Nice Music
Fantastic !
Nagyon jó videó Gratulálok! Magyarországról.
Amazing video thanks for sharing it.
Very clever the way this has been done, remember the complex diamond crossings in the 60s when train spotting.
That was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed that. 🙂
Remember the model railway they had running around the Xmas tree, you put a penny in the slot to start an engine off on its journey, also the big red machine that stamped out your name onto a metal strip , and the Record your own voice machine ! Brilliant !
Great footage! Neat to watch the changes.
Lovely presentation, well done.
First class, my mum comes from ashington and when we went to visit nan, we always to the ferry from Ireland and got the train to Newcastle and the lovely curved platform always impressed me
Thoroughly enjoyed that, thanks.
What a brilliant clip of timeline on the railways.i wonder if anyone else has done this near their hometown? Also shame to see those branch lines turned into car parks.thank you for posting
Superb video on a time lapse in Newcastle station: a tale of new technology and reduced traffic in trains perhaps.
Ouch memories and a awesome way of recording and showing the famous diamond. Well done no very well done.
Great old Train videos for this timeline from present to past.
That was just great. Thanks.
A work of art!
Cheers!
Very clever. You managed to cover my footplate career from 1978 to 2016.
Amazing, well put together👍
I'm from the East Midlands - but that is lovely photography and film-reel showing the ever-changing and sadly the decline of our beloved railway system throughout the decades - well done!
Very well done video , top work !
Absolutely amazing!
I worked in the SMO at Newcastle in 1966 -changes were starting then -electrics going for a start. Old wooden buildings throughout the station.
This is fuckin mint tbh, t see how much this fuckin place has changed is outstanding. Think about living back then is unbelievable and how much we’ve changed is so like amazing
Class ! Great work James
Great. A lot of work went into this.
I really enjoyed that... thank you
Amazing! Thank You.
Superb video!
The first video i watch on your channel!
I made a remake a while ago! th-cam.com/video/UZrIohJVcL4/w-d-xo.html
@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist yes haha!
well i was 11 but now i'm 6 years later!
A superb time & motion study.
So the station was getting bigger and bigger and then after 1970s it got smaller and now its a tiny station then in the 70s
It got bigger again; the metro has two platforms which you can't see as they are underground beneath the north (Neville Street) side of the main station, and there is a new island platform - numbered 5 to 8 - built along and half out of the south side of the station.

The station is probably the busiest it has ever been, at least as far as passenger numbers are concerned - freight trains are pretty infrequent nowadays.
Yeah that's what I was thinking I thought it was ever one was using cars as transport.
Fantastic work👏👏
Thanks I run another channel bringing to life lost UK railway lines you might enjoy! It's called Ghost Train Lost Railways of UK 🚂
Bravo, absolute class
A very well done, great job!
Really enjoyed this.
Amazing!! Very interesting 😀😀🤔🤔
1:44 the older cars there and the intercity in that livery almost put a tear in my eye. I miss days gone by
Stunning!
C:\Great_piece_of_work\Awesome_Creativity\Fabulous_Collection
Wow...mega impressive video, IMO.
Brilliant...!!!
_ahhhhhh, the ages of steamies. And TTTE characters._
Superb production from a non train man.
What a great little vid, thanks
Amazing work :)
I don't care for this at all but what a beautiful video en music. It made me intrigued
The image for 2005 isn't from 2005- Arriva Cross COuntry started operating in 2007 and there were no Northern Rail liveried units until about 2007 as well.
Wonderful video!
Enjoyed that, thanks.
Its odd to see the large portion of portion of the station at the far right of the screen suddenly disappear and be replaced by a large car park.
Good job. Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! VERY BUT VERY NICE
Very well done.
1920 Parcel department right top of picture. There is a sight called Old maps on line co.uk maps from 1850 on wards showing the development of the railways its very well detailed giving track lay out as it changes through time, Fascinating stuff.
thank you! Really like time-line presintation. Do you plan to do other locations?
Brilliant.
