wow, I'm too young to have seen wath yard, all i ever saw were the track remnants and the odd coal car left over. a nice piece of history.
-
@MK55A the name of the bridge is Swaithe viaduct.
-
just seen this video. this e mail is directed to Mr Davros . to put things in perspective Mitchell,s MAIN closed in 1955 give or take a year. When Mitchells was mentioned had it been in production the pit would have been on the left of the picture...

@BaseTurnComplete Look at Spoornet (South Africa) and Belgische Spoorwegen at 3kv dc, too.

I've had this complete video many years now and living in Barnsley it makes sad viewing whenever I drive through Worsbrough. The trees have been allowed to take over and it's become a haven for the off-road bike idiots brigade. Have been puzzled when this vid was made - August (77?) as Mitchells Main Colliery was still open. Any ideas anyone?

@baconsandwich2007 The 'bridge' is Stathies or Staithes (can't remember which way you spell it) viaduct, it carries the Midalnd railway Barnsley to Meadowhall over the GC.

The background sounds give the game away this was a (probably Derby built) DMU. Pity the crossrail trains were given to Siemens probably by George Osborne/Rory Stewart at bilderberg 2011 in St. Moritz to Peter Loeshcer CEO of Siemens:-(((
-
@BaseTurnComplete Same can be said of Belgische Spoorwegen and Spoornet (South Africa) though these networks are largely energised at 3kv dc
-
The route was dependent on coal traffic across the Pennines. When the South Yorkshire colliaries closed traffic ceased. Thats why the line was closed.

@LukaSteinberg Why should the government be running truck companies? Public transport is one thing, freight haulage is entirely another.
In fact, since privatisation, freight is the one thing that has improved on the railways. Why take a step back?

Look at Dutch railways today (electrified at 1,500V DC) and you'll see gantries that don't look a million miles away from the Woodhead gantries.

I hope the route opens fully so it can be a real reversal of past road transport folly! Oil price & Government commitment to electrification are the key!
