Brilliant stuff David, what a great line. The Hope Valley is hard to beat in terms of stunning scenery, thanks for sharing

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

FANTASTIC! Manchester and Sheffield are Very Big Cities!

[@TheZacDJ]

Excellent video thanks for sharing

[@jamesbradshaw9889]

Awesome was on this route yesterday ☺

To be pedantic Woodhead Tunnel(s) have never closed;the newest one is still in use to carry National grid Electricity supply.It also has a small scale railway running inside it.Years ago it was proposed to use the 3 tunnels for a new road to by-pass the scenic (but the terror for commercial trucks) Woodhead Pass.

When I was a kid we lived at Deep Clough cottages on the Woodhead Road and the steam trains on the Sheffield line would pass very close to our house. In winter they would drop off huge cobs of coal for us. Such a pity they closed the tunnels.

long tunnel

[@danielmargrie]

wow

[@Mortimer50145]

Interesting to see the route that the express service takes (via Stockport, Disley Tunnel and the New Mills avoiding line). I've only seen Don Coffey's videos of the stopping services which go via New Mills Central and Marple. Be interesting to see an updated version of this video in HD, preferably on a sunny (or at least, non-rainy) day.

They repaired the the big vent on cowburn tunnel 800 feet drop wow .

[@artisanwhitehall]

The driver must have nerves of steel and complete trust in his colleagues who maintain the track etc, to take his train through Totley Tunnel at 90 mph in total darkness. Brilliant piece of film.

[@chrisgrant1029]

What is the reason for not having headlights on when going through tunnels? Is it to avoid dazzling drivers of trains in opposite direction?

[@philippefoubert1956]

Vraiment pas de chance de tourner cette vidéo par le seul jour de pluie annuel dans un pays aussi arride (🤭). Une belle balade quand même, rythmée par le crissement des essuie-glaces. Une fiole d'huile n'est-elle pas dans l'équipement standard des engins motorisés chez BR? Amitiés (un peu taquines) de Belgique 🤗

[@stevewyman2822]

[@itsonlyme458]

At 14:59 the train passes Woodsmoor not Woodsmore as stated in the video. Good video though.

[@daviddowd3509]

Well Spotted

[@dieseldave3879]

[@russ117044]

Time for tea. Old boy.

[@russ117044]

And where is the CSR?

[@daviddowd3509]

Hope Valley never had CSR only NRN, Now GSMR

[@chrisgrant1029]

Wanted to see what interior of Totley Tunnel looks like and was all pitch black. Disappointed 😞

[@thecurlew7403]

What? Its dark inside you cannot see in the dark.

[@chrisgrant1029]

​@thecurlew7403 the trains headlights would surely have illuminated the tunnel interior. They don't go through them with no headlights on surely???

[@equalityxl7465]

When was this video filmed

[@daviddowd3509]

2003

[@russ117044]
