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.
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
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
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.
This is fantastic, amazing, I feel great respect for the work, the thinkers, inventors, engineers, the workers and the photographers of this presentation!
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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
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 !
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
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
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.
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
A brilliant piece of work, most stunning changes, incidentally loved the music ........Mark

Excelent! I love Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

I'd give this 10 thumbs ups if I could.

I felt that too
A great film, and I was glad to see the third-rail electrification of the suburban lines shown in the pictures circa 1960.
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.

Excellent video!!! My most beautiful station in England!!! Thanks for making and sharing this history!!!
A story absolute! What a film. Thanks for sharing.
Actually, it is a work of inspired genius. Bravo!
Stunning. One cant resist keep watching such stuff. It keeps my attention. Well made. 100 times thumbs up.
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
@@Snoopyhf they never were
I was amazed by the simplification of the track work over time. Well done.
This is first class very clever and very well made.
What can I say ,great video work and thank you for letting us see the past .Graham.
A superb piece of work
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
Brilliant absolutely brilliant very well done and eye opening seeing all the changes to the track layout.
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.
Fantastic !
Beautiful. And wonderful music !
That was excellent, it reminds me of the changing view out of the conservatory window in the original Time Machine movie!
This is a superb film of a classic location! Thank you!
What a video, one of the best videos I have ever watched. Brings back a few memories.
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!!
Amazing video.. what a time travel!! Brilliant work!!👌👌
Lovely presentation, well done.
My local station! I love this; thank you.
Very clever the way this has been done, remember the complex diamond crossings in the 60s when train spotting.
Amazing!!! ...Fabulous, fantastic video.
What a wonderful video. Thank you for creating this.
Great old Train videos for this timeline from present to past.
a delightful video. that was amazing
Absolutely amazing!
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
Amazing video thanks for sharing it.
Man, i wish I could go back in time and witness that yard at its finest. Outstanding video!
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
That was just great. Thanks.
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.
Imagine life back then-sweet in every home and heart. Why does that tear me up in sadness?
This Is a Nice Music
Thoroughly enjoyed that, thanks.
What can one say but WOW perhaps? Really interesting and thanks for who took the trouble to do this.
A work of art!
Cheers!
Amazing! Thank You.
Superb video on a time lapse in Newcastle station: a tale of new technology and reduced traffic in trains perhaps.
Superb video!
Brilliantly done my friend, loved it !
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
Great footage! Neat to watch the changes.
Nagyon jó videó Gratulálok! Magyarországról.
A superb time & motion study.
That was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed that. 🙂
Amazing, well put together👍
Stunning!

Great. A lot of work went into this.
Very well done video , top work !
I worked in the SMO at Newcastle in 1966 -changes were starting then -electrics going for a start. Old wooden buildings throughout the station.
I really enjoyed that... thank you
Class ! Great work James
Very well done.
_ahhhhhh, the ages of steamies. And TTTE characters._
Brilliant.
Bravo, absolute class
Enjoyed that, thanks.
Brilliant, why did they remove the right hand side of the station for a car park ?.
A very well done, great job!
Brilliant...!!!
Amazing!! Very interesting 😀😀🤔🤔
Excellent 👍
Really enjoyed this.
thank you! Really like time-line presintation. Do you plan to do other locations?
Ouch memories and a awesome way of recording and showing the famous diamond. Well done no very well done.
Good job. Congratulations!
Wonderful video!

i always wish to born in 1900....amazing photographs
Superb production from a non train man.
Amazing work :)
Very clever. You managed to cover my footplate career from 1978 to 2016.
What a great little vid, thanks
Fantastic ....
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
Wow...mega impressive video, IMO.
Apart from the obvious electrification, what changes occcurred in the 90s at the station which allowed that drastic simplification of the trackwork?
Brilliant !!!!
Fantastic - So where did the 2 lines go to once that were took up between 1983 and 1990 , what branch?
Very well done top marks.
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.
