Great Video I grew up in Worsborough back in the sixties seventies I can remember having to cross over the tracks by foot bridge to fish on the reservoir bank loads of traffic on that line back in the day - I see the footbridge is still there thanks

lovely video. I remember many times when working at Perfecta Beds which was near to the branch where you started from. In the morning meetings you could see all the trains that were going towards Worsbrough. One of our bosses was train mad and he often asked me did I get the numbers. Now Perfecta has gone like the railways, and a load of houses built there. Really looking forward to the next one, as that is the start of the massive Wath yard. Again nothing left but housing.

@@ernestbailey9194 thankk you ! Glad it brought back memories for you ! Sadly a. Lot of history gone around there ! Just good they have converted them to cycle ways If you subscribe to the channel and look at my stair foot series you will find a lot of the lines around there covered ! I did the Elsacar branch last week if you haven’t seen that one it’s the the playlist called “stairfoot lines “ The Elsacar video shows a brief shot of the wath marshalling location I will be covering more down near there soon 😃😃
