@5786Dan Hi, Ive been looking in my vast collection of music and think its been titled wrong as i did a search for the lyrics and came up with "Chain music" Its a collaboration with Ryuchi sakamoto.
I remember the 2p bus ride! One day, after visiting the depot me and my friends, all about 17 y/o went into the 3 Mags for a beer and we were not welcome! Almost beaten up by some local new romantics on the way back to Sheffield! Oh happy memories, we also went to the open day in (I think) June 1980.
Oh my God, this is the most haunting footage I've ever seen. I used to work out of the control tower doing Signalling maintenance from Treeton Junction to Shepcote Lane and beyond betweeen 1982 and 1986. My dad was a driver based at Tinsley for many, many years. The footage of the main offices, decrepid was a heart jerker as that's where I used to collect my wages each week. Thanks for the footage, brought back lots of memories. Chris, alias mutt40106.
Many thanks for your comments, i too spent a lot of time there and was heartbroken when it was closed. Many fond memories from my childhood now very sadly gone! All the best. Nick
What a great tribute to this once great traction depot and marshalling yard. I have many fond memories as a child when my dad used to take me to visit the great vantage points on the bank overlooking the shed to spot loco's. We would get the train to sheffield, then catch the bus from the civic circle and get off at The Three Magpies public house, then a short walk underneath the motorway bridge and turn right to overlook the huge marshalling yard.
I just have to give you top marks for that, You certainly created the right atmosphere to compliment your video shots. Such a crying shame though to see the the final results of what was once a very busy place.... Sometimes in life don't you just hate progress? Excellent video. 5*
this is surely one of the best vids on youtube,had it in my favs for 10 months now,

@deltic17 I can't seem to find a song called "The Wire" anywhere. Do you know what album it may be on?

I was at that open day too. I was almost hit on the head by a wagon as they did a re-railing demonstration! No Health & safety back then!
