The TRAIN Scrapyard - Decaying Rolling Stock - URBEX

Today, we explore a location that we were given permission to film. That is the CF Booth Scrapyard in Rotherham. Which has loads of different Rolling Stock ready for the Scrapyard, such as Mk. 4 Carriages from LNER, Northern Class 142 Pacers, and an InterCity 125 Buffet Car. Not strictly an Abandoned location but an explore nonetheless.

Nice one buddy great place thanks for sharing that first one looks like it’s new lol was nice of them to show you round stay safe buddy 👍👊

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Cheers man no worries and yeah it is fairly new man Mark 4’s are getting replaced by Hitachi Azuma trains

[@HetOnbekende]

This is a nice urbex place !

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Thank you

[@jonmilligan8069]

Wow wee, it’s crazy to see some of this all just scrapped. The coaches especially look in perfectly serviceable condition. Most of the scrapping is for political reasons more than much else, if the UK doesn’t want them does anyone know why they are not sold onto other countries maybe? Sad to see the Pacer meeting it’s maker too - great memories of traveling around on these things - I always thought they were a whole load of fun! 👍

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Yeah definitely man the Mark 4’s basically have nothing wrong with them I mean they did tell me there’s a bit of rust but apart from that they’re in great condition

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Jon Milligan and yeah Pacers are a bit of fun and I’ve read that the Great Central Railway are going to be preserving some of them and they’re still gonna be in Wales for a while yet

[@jonmilligan8069]

TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX This is a great video... It’s totally mad that the coaches aren’t considered for export potentially. My car is is far worse condition and it’s only three years old! 😂😂 As for the Pacers, great little machines in my view, it almost feels a little mad that they’ll soon only be seen on heritage railways. Much as some people seem to hate them, I’ll likely always have a soft spot of their squeaky, bouncy and 1980’s style ride! They did their job well! 👍👊

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@jonmilligan8069 Railfans are strange characters. They were slagging Pacers off for generations, but as soon as scrapping is on the horizon, suddenly they become "great little machines" full of character with a bouncy (aka rough) ride. Very strange indeed.

[@krismarshall9720]

Surely them first class coaches could of went to good use somewhere else

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

You’d think so wouldn’t you

[@Jeagles]

Most stuff at Booths isn’t PRM (Persons of reduced Mobility) compliant (ie. no disabled toilet or seating, doors you have to open yourself etc

[@NorthWestElectrics]

Just a train fan watching this lol

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Cheers mate haha got another channel where I upload a few trainspotting videos ~ Sam

[@antharro]

Thanks for posting this. It's sad to see but good that you've posted. However - please sort your volume out. Your music is WAY too loud and the bits where you're talking are far too quiet by comparison.

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Thank you and it is sad to see these perfectly good carriages left to rot then ripped up, and ok thanks for the tip

[@mholiday]

Great video thankyou. Did you happen to ask whether or not the first class seats were for sale?

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

They’re not but the Pacer seats are

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

And thank you 🙏

[@mholiday]

@@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX Thanks for the info.

[@class91joe]

Do you manage to get many of the MK4 Coach Carriage Numbers that you couldn’t really see in the video? Thanks!

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

I didn't sadly

[@class91joe]

Ok, thanks. You should go back as lots of old HST Mark 3 Coaches have just arrived in yesterday. 👍🏻

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

@@class91joe Wish I could but we're under lockdown :(

[@class91joe]

TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX Oh yeah, well I’ll try let you know when there’s next something good there after lockdown and maybe you could go? 🙂

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

@@class91joe Could do mate

[@Jeagles]

How you got Booths to let you in I’ll never know

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Just walked up wearing a hard hat and hi vis jacket and they showed me around

[@Jeagles]

TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX apparently they used to let you in for a few hours if you gave them 15 quid, and if you could get anything off the old coaches you could have it

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

@@Jeagles They didn't charge me to go in, just got to get there fairly early on a Saturday. Well I suppose not at the moment with this Coronavirus outbreak but after it you will be able to again. Just disappointed that I missed the London Underground train that was there

[@kylekaye9147]

So sad seeing these left to rot :(

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

It really is man especially the Mark 4’s 😢

[@neilburns8869]

The LNER carriages look far too nice to be scrapped.

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

They do, it was sad to see them in Booths

[@olikirrage]

How did you do this???

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Rang them up turned up and signed a visitors sheet to film and photograph the rolling stock and this guy showed me around

[@olikirrage]

Thanks

[@orsoncart9441]

Did Booths know you where going to post the film on youtube?

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Well they said I was allowed to film so if they’re ok with people doing videos they’re ok with it going on KZbin

[@orsoncart9441]

@@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX Booths use to insist on no publication of photos or video, But if they did not ask what you were going to do with the filming they must have relented. I always thought it was a pointless rule.

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Orson Cart People always post photos of it on Trainspotting groups anyway

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Chiltern Transport Productions they didn’t seem to bothered to me the bloke who gave me a tour said I could film

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Chiltern Transport Productions yeah they seem like good people

[@Maxspotter]

i just wish i could buy a mk4 :

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Would be nice

[@johnathanrowley2707]

The government talks about reopening disused and closed lines railway lines but if we keep scrapping decent trains we are going to have a shortage

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Exactly, those Mk 3 carriages/coaches were beautiful although they did say some of them had damp get in, some of them were in perfect working order though it’s just LNER didn’t want them anymore

[@TropicalP456]

Why break it all, not use it for making something else??#

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

I know it’s awful isn’t it

[@ghlawrence2000]

I am so sad to see both the HST and Mk4s going....... The replacements are not as comfortable!!

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

The HST is still one of the best trains Britain has tbf

[@jcb3259]

So so so sad 😞

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

It is 😢

[@steuk6510]

Why don't you restore one

[@steuk6510]

I am sure there would sell you one

[@JJthrashing]

Real shame those MK3 coaches only recently had upgrades including disabled doors fitted then they decided to scrap them all what a waste ! Could of least put them into storage for backup stock.

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Yeah guess where they’re sending the remaining Mark 3s as well? Wales that’s where all the rolling stock and coaching stock England doesn’t want anymore goes

[@user-gu9pv7ck1i]

An abysmal waste.

[@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX]

Yep
