  • Really well edited video! What is the song used in the video?

  • @5786Dan Thank you, I think it is called "The Wire" from a chap called David Sylvian. Cheers

  • @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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Chris,

    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
