British Rail North East 1992-Thornaby Station & Depot Views with classes 08, 20, 37 & 60s

[@pauldevenish]

It's nice seeing this footage, as you may or not be aware of, this depot is part of an add on for the console simulation "Train Sim World", and it's nice to see the depot and workings in the real world. Oh for time travel as I have been there all the time as well as stations such as Cargo Fleet & Eaglescliffe!

Great video, brought back memories of my days as a budget controller in the CM & EE Department at York, and often went to Thornaby depot for meetings. A great place, and a great team of people worked there.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Thanks for sharing your memeories. The depot is now falttened but is their a train crew depot still in the area i wonder?......

[@Thornaby37]

Some excellent footage here 👍 A favourite location of mine in BR days

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Thanks..... i do have more vids from this area. One of which is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHWslWtnnMpor6c

[@kamana6435]

Great video so much action to see.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

There certainly was in those days......

[@TheDaf95xf]

Oh happy days 👍🏻 What a great train spotting location back then and before 👍🏻 I can remember the yard on the other sides of the river opposite too 😄 When I go over the A19 bridge and see the devastation of the yard makes me sad 😔 Great video as always. Keep safe cheers Stevie 😎

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Thank you. I had a friend who's mother lived in Hartlepool, which was a handy place to stay as this video testifies. On this trip (& others) we saw lots of great traction and lots of workings here, Eaglescliff, Blythe, Newcastle and Otterington on the ECML (see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-npZ6sbpumbKs). I should imagine it's a lot quieter now?....

20s were fast fading that summer. Lucky how they made it to 2019👍👍👍👌

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

@@annescholey6546 There was a couple of pairs working for the TLF Steel Sector on flows from the North East to Immingham. I have some on film at Eaglescliff from this and another trip i did in 92.

Great footage from a great area when it come to freight train. Regards Mike.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Thank you, i have quite a bit of footage from this area, we stayed with a friends relative in Hartlepool at the time. Have you seen this upload from Eaglescliffe here? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpi0inRpmqycgs0

Another great video Soi going to try and watch all your vids cheers Steve ..

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Please do, there is lots of variety and it will keep you busy for days on end......lol

[@Discoretrox]

Looks like they're are just building the bridge over to tees barage later in the vid - great upload.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, i seem to recall the part finished bridge.....

[@trainandbusfan5706]

Great video good to see someone is still showing real trains on KZbin rather than that simulator nonsense.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I have plenty more from times past to upload....rekindle your memories or see what you've missed!

[@HentisRail]

Nowt wrong with "that simulator nonsense" as you put it. It gives people the chance to drive trains that would never get the chance to in real life.

[@HentisRail]

Wish I had managed to get to Thornaby back in the day :/ Great vid. Any more (i havent sen much of your channel yet...

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Lots more heritage vids to upload.....as well as some more up-to-date vids....happy viewing!

I went past it on the train 2005ish and it was desolate by then.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Did you get any footage east of Middlesbrough?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Only some at Grosmont when a railtour ran through. And in 1989 i filmed at Middlesborough station itself.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus pity. There were plenty if interesting workings out to the east including the potash trains going along the cliff tops.

@@neiloflongbeck5705 I was in a friends car for this trip but we never wandered over that way. Did Blythe and Newcastle, Eaglescliffe and Otterington on the ECML amongst other places visited.

Still some remnants of the owd' days, much depleted industry and infrastructure. Wish i'd been a Bobby there in the 60's.

You'd have mentally busy all day long! lol.....

Tees yard still has a throughput today. Bong bong pile driver in distance!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

That's good to know. I had visions of it all having disappeared......

[@AndreiTupolev]

Rather a worrying amount of white smoke and black smoke from the 20/37 combo. I'm not sure which producing which; it looked like the white smoke was from the 20 and the black smoke from the 37. It looked rather as if they couldn't decide on whether they'd decided on a new Pope or not.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Lol.....i imagine they had both been idling for a while and getting on the main line gave the driver a chance to thrash them up and clear out the exhaust's. 37s i drove were a long way from their last works visit and produced a fair amount of black smoke, the white is more normal just a lot of it re idling.....
