brilliant !!

Those old DMU sets really did do their bit for the environment!

Quite apart from the fascinating industrial and rural landscapes, the author of these videos has seen fit to accompany the scenes with several classical musical quotations - anyone who can name every piece is a music aficionado indeed!

Excellent!! Oh the memories. Many thanks for posting.

This is an amazing compilation of clips, I really like the way he didn’t waste words. Some interesting railway signage and cattle bridge sign. Thanks, this is truly priceless.

I travelled this line daily end to end in 1986 and so much of what is in this film was gone already by then.

I lived in Huddersfield between 1980 and 1984. Remember travelling on the route and taking the line from Penistone to the then closed Sheffield Victoria where it reversed into the Midland station. It was a good run from Penistone. I was never a fan of the rerouted line. Going through Barnsley added so much time to the journey.

Some great archive footage 👍

Excellent journey from the past 👍🏻

[@thomaslusk7621]

I really enjoyed seeing this thank you !

It used to be so much quicker changing at Penistone and getting the express (electric hauled) down the former Great Central to Sheffield Victoria.

Interesting.

[@matthewmiller8048]

The miners strike would have been taking place in this period.

[@duncancurtis5108]

Wow so much gone since then. 😮

Dave Cherry here the Barnsley film maker. I am making a new film about the Penistone railway disasters of the 19th century. Have I your permission to use the Penistone clips of this excellent film? I would of course credit you and of course a refusal would not offend. I await your reply -cheers Dave,

Hi Dave, We are more than happy for you to go ahead and use the bits of film you require if you can credit both the Peak Railway Association and most importantly Doug Copley. We look forward to watching your film! 🙂
