Diggle Streaking! | 24 Hours at Tamworth Update | Diggle Diaries: August 2024

Diggle Diaries: An attempt to film all daylight running freight and interesting workings from Diggle Junction. Situated on the picturesque Trans-Pennine, Manchester to Huddersfield and Leeds route, Diggle Jn lies at the top of a steep incline leading into Standedge Tunnel. Providing beautiful scenery, varied freight and trains working hard up the hill, there aren’t many better places for a bit of trainspotting.

All good Luke. I haven't stopped watching, just finding the time to sit down in front of the computer is the issue. 👍👍

[@DiggleJunction]

No worries at all mate, I know you’ll be there in the background even if you don’t get chance to jump in and say hello. Hope you’re well.
