British Rail Yorkshire 1992-Wakefield Kirkgate With Classes 37, 47, 56, 141 & 144

Great video. You can see why Healey Mills was busy at this time

[@lamborghinihexagons5502]

Pacers are underrated, while they might be slow and uncomfortable, they worked and got you from point A to point B. I preferred them over the 150s

[@going2thedogs]

Amongst all that Petroleum traffic, there was a stand out moment for me. Those Cawoods coal hoppers look so good behind the Sub-sector class 56 (@5.51).

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

A lot of the freight traffic seen here is history sadly.......i have a friend who is a driver at wakefield and they only have around a dozen weeks on the drivers link....considering they are the rump of Healy Mills that tells you how much work has been lost.....

[@rolymier8659]

Great film. The station has been improved a lot. Pacers no longer about. Grand Central trains call there as well, or they did until lockdown

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Thanks for the update. I haven't been there for quite a few years......

SUPERB, great video thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wowzer 37418 with Gordon Grigg on it, i hope you know how bloody rare that is ive only seen one phot of it with those plates on i think at Stanlow, and ive never seen it on film, i think it was put on for a inspiration saloon jolly for Shell big wigs and it should have been taken straight off and the "Shell" plates put on but was delayed for a week or something, V rare capture well played

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, i read somewhere at the time it was re-named for a supposedly special occasion. I thought then it was lucky to get it still applied on a normal working.

Ah, Wakefield Kirkgate, one of my local(ish) stations. Was an unkempt, windswept hole back then, now it's had a coat of poaint & some improvements, but still windswept, still one of the best local locations for freight workings though.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

It was as lonely place to lurk and film but at least it was fairly busy....now i think there's not much non passenger workings left to see?.....

[@jasonlittlewood3874]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus There is still a bit, but not to the past levels .

Nice railway video again Soi Buakhao

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Thank you......

[@jamesfrench7299]

Never expected to see a "branch saver". Just goes to show, don't judge a video by it's cover!!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

With railways i tended to film a bit of everything....but like an idiot i didn't with buses!

[@jamesfrench7299]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus you learned too late hahaha! You had Routemasters on the brain obviously!

[@limeyfox]

I see you got 141113, the sole (I think) example of the class with the Voith hydraulic transmission.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I was just pleased to film one, they were on their last legs even then!

[@jasonlittlewood3874]

It was & was the best if the class. Saw that hauling a dead 142 up the hill from Wakefield Westgate & still hit top speed!!!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

@@jasonlittlewood3874 That's some going for a Pacer!.....

[@jasonlittlewood3874]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus It was very rapid especially for a Pacer. I think it was down to the lighter weight of the 141 & how it had been setup.

37706. I think someone missed a bit when they were cleaning it.
