Great video with some good information.My first job as a second man in 1971 was shunting the yard at Witham with a Class 31.

Thank you! That's cool, so Witham used to have a larger yard then I'd assume?

There were also sidings at Braintree which we had to shunt, and previously goods trains had gone through Braintree to Felstead for the Ince & Elton fertilizer traffic. But that section was shut just before I started.
