    The railway lines in Turkey South of The Bosphorus were very German ( as they were built by German Interests) They of course didn’t connect to the Northern Lines ( which connected with Europe) Route of The Orient Express

    Oxcroft was briefly reopened for roughly 3 weeks in November 2007 in order to sort through any remaining coal tips in the area, although even by that time Seymour Junction Signal box was so badly vandalised that none of the signalling infrastructure could be used, so all points were clamped and all signalling was suspended and the working was done by pilot man

    'Tyne - drum' not Tin Drum. Tay - nult, not 'newlt'. Loch Etive, not 'Eetive'. And Balachulish is 'Bala - hoolish' not 'coolish'. Cruachan has the stress on the first syllable.

    All that's left today is small traces such as trackbeds, lumps of concrete with graffiti pools of stagnant water, burnt out stolen cars and so on. And on the horizon wind turbines spin on as we shell out to shadowy energy spivs.

    I used to see the Blackburn shit train every weekday about 8 30 as it went through Central station to Thrybergh for tipping, it once started from the signal on platform 2 with a jerk ,the station foreman was standing by it on the crossing between platforms when the wagon next him slopped over the side and he got an unexpected shower, he was sent home on a tractor apparently to get washed and changed.,this was about 1965 66 time when I worked as a junior porter in Central goods yard.

    What a wonderful presentation of such detail and local knowledge which would probably have been lost otherwise. Of all the 60's line closures this 13 mile stretch from Matlock to Great Rocks is to me one of the most wasteful and shortsighted and when you see what was lost it is heartbreaking.

    It used to be owned by telford steam railway however when peak rail bought it they never changed it.

    Hi, Our DMU is now owned by one of our long standing volunteers having been purchased and moved from Telford Steam Railway. In due course, we're hoping to paint it, but we have a bit of mechanical and body work to do first. Regular updates can be found on our DMU group Facebook page. facebook.com/share/EegWWitJwufnNCFE/

    I went from Chapel to Gt. Longstone once with my grandma. That was when my brother was born and they wanted me to out of the house. It probably was a steam train almost everything was then.

    Blast from the past.....2004 to 2005 ish with those "first branded" 158s, I was a conductor working the route when they took over and personally, I hated the blue vinyls spoiling the striking Northern Spirit Red and gold TransPennine variation. When the Phil Sayer voice was replaced at Huddersfield, initially there were complaints until Slaithwaite was re-recorded as "Slawit" The new voice was a colleagues.

    Very interesting, worked on what was the site of the Coalite plant 2023whilst under redevelopment,the lingering smell of Turpentine/Creosote was overwhelming at the end of shift. The plant had long gone by this time but must have been an amazing place to work when at its peak. Thanks for posting.

    I remember going on class 45’s to football, most Leeds United football specials were hauled by class 45’s. When I was a youngan, I wondered what are these locos with the long side panels? The only Class 45 I remember was “The Cheshire Regiment”, It took me and my mates to a Leeds night game, at Sunderland on the 30 December 1976. (we beat Sunderland 1-2) I remember it was a bit snowy that night & there were only about 60 of us on it. This particular loco 45 014 was involved in a fatal accident on 8 March 1986, because of a signal fault, it was scrapped in Manchester later on in 1986.

P.S , I am very Surprised to see so much ` Heavy Industry ` was still hanging -on here as late as 1990- 1993. The Diesel hauled freight train Action set amongst the Industrial surroundings is Brilliant .
