Abandoned Locomotives: A Journey Through Time of the Railway Graveyard

[@paulnolan1352]

It wouldn’t be so bad if the stock that replaced these Loco’s and Coaches was a big improvement but in many cases it’s not.

[@class87srule]

Replaced by substandard multiple units with a quarter of their comfort! 😢

So sad to see old friends in the Scrapyard. It always seems such a waste, but that's progress. As someone said, thank goodness for preservationists.😢

[@craigspencer8750]

I used to live at the back of Vic Berry’s in Leicester in the late 80s ,so sad to see it closed down.

[@MichaelCampin]

So glad the Pacers have gone,but Deltics, classes 50, 40,44,45,46 47 52and 42/53 as well as 35. The electic locos should never have been built

[@ianotimelord]

I'd love to visit it. Fascinating

[@XDFRailRoadCooler]

Those are nice stuff, not like some of that crappy stuff running on the railway today.

[@garybridge-ku7bf]

Send some of the new rolling stock there, they are cheap and nasty. Thank god for the preservation society.

[@soulman3590]

Especially Azumas which are cheap noisy, hollow, uncomfortable Japanese junk.

[@fredphipps9452]

Generally stock has continued to take a backward turn ever since 1st generation BR carriages were got rid of

[@paulshepherd1348]

😢. I know they are only piles of steel to many, but to some, they have a life like presence... well they did once upon a time..I always wonder what was their last task... and who signed their death warrant and the reason for it. Quite sad really to see old friends go.

[@fredphipps9452]

I agree, BR has never been the same since the late 80's when most of its remaining MK1 coaches were withdrawn

[@davids8449]

Today's trains ( if you can call them that ) are nothing more but easy clean traveling latines with cement seats

[@soulman3590]

I often wonder how anyone can sit on the rock hard seats from King's X to Edinburgh. Even 1st class seats in Azumas are awful. Cheap rubbish. The class 91's 1st class seats are luxury in comparison. They go backwards every time.

[@OTIB1]

Abandoned is the wrong word. These locos & coaches are withdrawn, not abandoned.

[@alanfbrookes9771]

I have to wonder if the narrative and video were done totally separately. What is shown is rarely what is being talked about, and the music is really distracting., I recommend you turn the sound down and just watch the video. As far as the narrative is concerned you might as well replace it with, "Here are a bunch of railway locomotives and carriages that have been scrapped." The same thing is repeated over and over again, and the narrator has no passion in his voice. He might as well have been reading the telephone directory.

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

It also absolutely reeks of ChatGPT.

[@roywatson8133]

spot on hes telling us what we already know

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

@roywatson8133 what he should do is tell us the locomotive (if no visible unit number), what accident resulted in its scrapping - or when it was scrapped if not accident damaged - and that sort of stuff, not just generic waffle

[@richardwilliamson2366]

@@Danse_Macabre_125unfortunately the visuals are interesting, the commentary is a load of generic bollocks, just repeating the same thing for the whole video and no detail whatsoever!

thee white coach hidden by the sothern train is that a virgin carriage belonging too 390033 city of glasgow

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

No, it looks to me like a Mark 3 carriage of some sort, not entirely sure of the operator.

[@georgewatt5886]

Why are they left to rust and not properly taken apart for scrap

[@magnoxian]

😭

[@reddwarfer999]

Why do you show images of train crashes? That is simply bizzare.

[@alanfbrookes9771]

I thought the same thing. The images bear little relationship to the narration, and they suggest that the narrator has little expertise in of railways.
