[mmichaelc]

Thankyou for posting this update to bad it's being taken down. I hope you can get more pictures before it's all gone.



[logolou]

How did you get in? Did they just leave the doors unlocked?

[gracie1232]

I love this video. The TFF song is a great choice!

[Thilly112]

cool vid, can you tell me the name of the second song? thanks

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

Just to let you all know I now have a 2010 Inverkip video up, as a response to this video, with far better photographs included.

[hellsmaw84]

@SPTSuperSprinter156 too bad they are planning on tearing this beautiful power station up.

[PampersPete]

I'll bet all those rotary phones are worth a small fortune.

[Robyn932]

Are you using a iPhone or itouch like I am?

Il try and sort msn, if u got iPhone or itouch we could talk through social networking apps :) but in the meantime il try and get msn working x

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

I'm on a computer but I do have an iPod touch, no social networking sites though... i can text though lol

[Robyn932]

Hey sptsupersprinter156, thank you so much for replying yea the that's wat the lorrys r doing, there working round the clock tho and staying in the premises. Is there anyway I can private message u at all... Thanx x

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

@Robyn932

Of course, I sent you a PM earlier asking a question or two, we can talk about it on MSN as well if you like.

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

i can't talk to you on MSN because it just says you appear offline...

[Robyn932]

608pollock I understand u work for sp, I

Have such admiration for this building and it's huge structure, what a place! There's going to be many tears in my eyes on the day of demolition,  x

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

If you could let us know that would be great... I've got the perfect vantage point for filming it go down as well.

[Robyn932]

We have also been in the grounds recently and EOS electrical oil lorrys r in pumping the oil out aswell, it's very sad that this place is just going to be forgotten!!

I WISH WE COULD ALL SAVE IT SOME HOW!! Protest or something!!

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

So THATS what those lorries were doing!

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

One of the switchgear corridors is live. I think it powers the core systems and is the reason why you can still switch a lot of the lights on in that place.

[tralalaz1234]

I reckon you should try and get it started up again...you never know...

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

As you can see in some of the photos, some of the buttons on the control panels are still lit. There's also still the electricity buzzing around and the dehumidifiers keeping the equipment dry. It's still a very 'alive' place.

[608pollock]

Excellent I Visited the station in 2002 To canbalise parts from it, It seems unbelievable something this size was mothballed this way, you only know this by seeing it for yourself, great to see this video I'm well impressed well done you obviously have a soft spot for it I certainly do, hate to see it go!!

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

'to canabalise parts' - are you basically saying you went in to nick stuff? Or are you an SP employee

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

oh cool sorry if my first comment seemed hostile about nicking stuff!

[drummer1495]

Job done indeed mate Well done 5*s

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

@drummer1495

Thanks for your comment. These are my visits from Summer 2009 and I only had a compact camera with me - but I have since been back with an SLR and will probably make another video soon of my better pictures. In particular the ones here really lack wideness!

[Uttelito]

I wonder if you can fire this place up and deliver more power ;)

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

That's the funny thing; the place it still buzzing with power and as you've seen, even some of the lights still work. There are many places in the building where you can hear switchgear and other electronic equipment that is humming and there are machines still left on!

[DevilSinclair]

SPTSuperSprinter156,

аnd again, Hello! )

Interested in the question: "Abandoned objects you greatly destroyed by irresponsible elements of society?"

[telefontubbie]

Hi! I really liked that first chilling song at the beginning... What's the name of it or band?

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

It's called AnoxDemocratus I believe. I can't remember where I downloaded it, but I can send it to you if you want.

[DevilSinclair]

Great Video!

Really cool!

Thank you)

Interestingly such a question. The object protected?

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

Yeah it's guarded...

[craigie5488]

kooool 5*, so did u just go in, not need to ask someone?

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

Lol, no. If I'd 'asked someone' to get in, I'd probably have been escorted off the premises. The vast majority of the time Urban Exploration is done by sneaking in past security and remaining undetected the whole time. I would also like to announce, access to this place is not easy, and if you're afraid of heights... forget it.

[scottishrailways]

interesting pics mate!:) was around inverkip last week but for the class 31 :P

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

Cheers :)
