Myson House car park. Venue for a lot of football amongst the spotters

I was on a train from Kings cross to Newcastle and the Mallard was the engine doing the work. That was in the 1950s. My Uncle was station master in Wooler and every Wednesday the coal train would arrive and me and my younger brother got a ride on the footplate in the steam engine, such excitement for 2 young boys.

Subscribed, im a 70s child which might explain, great footage.

Memories ❤ loved looking out window at the 2 engines on the way to skegness..

If only they could keep them going imagine the money they would make and what's a trip to take for a holiday to different towns Ive read about her in books but when I went to YRM and stood actually next to her I thought wow. She's beautiful I'm not into trains but even I know when I see beauty in a piece of engineering this is one of them moments

I love seeing Flying Scotsman and Mallard together

I was lucky enough to be in the VIP area to witness these silos falling. My dad oversaw the demolition of the whole site and he had the honour of pressing the detonation button in order to set off the explosion. I still miss seeing these and smelling the unique smell generated by the sugar process.

Great footage Roy, thank you for taking the time to share them with us. Very atmospheric too with the snow on the ground.

Fabulous video 👍

Just brilliant!!!

It's crazy as one of them could be my dad i'm seeing working, as he was a trackman back in the 80's..

Darn it makes me feel old watching this, as use to travel on them trains as an 80's child when going on holiday to Great Yarmouth..

Great footage Roy thanks for sharing that gentleman 👍

That brings back memories. When you could sit in the station buffet, with your binoculars and not have the signalling centre block your view!

A lovely stretch of line

Great days great footage 👍

BLOODY HELL THATS A BLAST FROM THE PAST, JOHN MENZIES PAPER SHOPS USE TO BE ONE IN DEWSBURY BUS STATION YEARS BACK

Right. I'm off to my shed to get on with my time machine. Anybody coming?

2 famous LNER Steamers Flying Scotsman and Mallard.

Top stuff👍👍👍

5:40 Clarkson and May GRAND TOUR stuff goings-on, im just waiting hor Hammond.😂

Mallard is a stunning a4

Doesn’t that 31 at 1.58 mins in sound awesome? English Electric engines sound so beautiful, I don't understand their detractors at all - sure they're under powered and overweight, but they sound and look marvellous!

Memories thankyou😊

Great coverage. My only experience of St. Marks was a trip to catch the paddle steamer at New Holland on a special after the Humber Bridge opened. The line from Sheffliedl to Lincoln was degraded by the bus waggon Pacer but you know the Cravens units were even worse, the Metro Cam. a true pleasure by any standard.

Great video, would be brilliant to reload at 1080 if possible. But thanks anyway loved it.

Gordon: Don’t forget the water!

I used to stay at my granda's in Nairn and used to go up and watch the 47's comes in from the bridge. Got friendly with the station master at the time a Gordon Milne, pretty sure that was him on the station platform.

The final death throes of a railway is a truly sad sight, especially as men had sweated blood and in many cases lost their lives to build it.

As the Traction Inspector I spent nearly all my time on Brittania thanks for the memories, As we were taken off due to causing lineside fires the support crew worked throughout the night so we were back in service next day

Little wonder the trains are so overcrowded when load 13 was the norm in 1985. We’ve got a backwards railway now, even the infrastructure they cleaned back then and now they don’t.

I'm extremely upset i'll never see her running. I hope by some miracle i see her run in the future. i'm a fairly new and young train fan and i must say that mallard is my favourite steam train (If not my favourite train in general) She's just looks absolutely incredible. (As do the other A4 locomotives) I really hope to travel to york at some point in the future and see her in person. I also hope i can ride on an A4 in the future. They're just amazing trains!

The Deltics were pure throbbing beasts. I cabbed on at Selby station in 1977 when I was a 13 year old kid. Pure Power. Thanks to the Driver who was a true enthusiast just like me and my friends

Britain's a crap hole today. Oh to go back in time.

I never knew PEAKS operated in the South West The drivers of the HST's were superb - if they saw anyone with a video camera they would GIVE IT THE BEANS and light up those Valentas AND GIVE YOU A HOOT! Thank you so much - I am old now and very fed up with todays world. THE 80's were THE BEST DAYS of my life when I had a few friends left and the UK wasnt so ruined with hatred and agression on the streets. THANK YOU.

SUPERB to see the old Peaks again and the odd Chopper. Class 30's, 33's awesome THESE were the days when it was WORTH trainspotting as there were so omany diesels all different today everything is electric and looks the same all rubbish! All we get now is the odd 37 0r a 47 How i wish we had high definition HDMI cameras in those days !

Thanks for the video. That Class 50 as 50041 sounded like a steam whistle on the first tone. Nice footage and useful for my planned scenarios for Train Simulator Classic I have planned.

Holy shits - it`s beatiful!!! Czy jakoś tak...

That 1st train has 13 on. The XC’s nowadays have 4 on 8 if you’re lucky. That’s privation for you..

Ah the sublime Paxton window..

7:51, that's the same date of my birthday (except the year)

should have kept the ( high line) open, disgraceful blinkered foresight by the council, the Central Station could have been a terminas and the High Street level crossing closed.

The Milwaukee Road Hiawatha F7 Baltic Steam Locomotice was faster.

9:35 That's such an evocative sequence from the Railway Museum, showing Meld and the APT prototype, with York Minster on the skyline. A happy time and place for so many of us.

a really good video nice to hear and the class 37 but views are really very good and it’s why it’s one of the best railway trips to do in the uk really nice to see the this video

Mix wagons or freight cars, I don't suppose that happens anymore ?

Even the CL47 four wagons and a old 1940s type wagon st the end?. Wow

Two little wagons behind Class 31, u can see that being profitable run?

Yes, great memories, when the railways had character and comfort to travel in.
