Earles Sidings to Leeds Midland Road 

Yet another great vid. much appreciated. Thanks to all concerned with publishing this.

Nice quality and always enjoy your scrolling facts.Being a former driver on Southern routes,it's great to 'road learn' other parts of country,even though I'm retired after 40 years on the iron road !

Thanks for another quality video Don. Didn't know Yorkshire had so many lines. Really enjoyed it.

Another brilliant video. Those mighty 66's have good acceleration running light engine.

Another great video Don thank you. I like these freight trains, engine only etc videos. Good to see how they get out of the way of passenger trains and to see some routes you wouldn’t normally see.

Another great video. Thanks!

Thanks for this Video and many information!

Certainly another superb video Mr Coffey! Interestingly I tried to follow it on the NLS 1:25000 1937 to 1961 map, not that easy but for your station markers. Suprising how much infastructure remains despite the 1960s culling! Many thanks again for your efforts!

Another interesting journey . Thanks ,Don .

Another great video. I love the history glimses of original railways.

Yet another from the top drawer Don,this one is a good watch,no blinding son to distract viewing 👍

Always good to have a trip along the Hope Valley line with the added bonus of more freight only lines.

Thanks Don for another brilliant and informative video. Graham

Another excellent video

Thank you for doing those vids .

Another great trip. I know control like to play trains but surely this could have been routed via Westgate and Whitehall.

Brill! Thnx +

Great as always. Enjoy these so much. Still hoping for a Bristol to the south coast tho.

Superb thank you to all involved most enjoyable once again.

Another good one Don JP

Thanks Don.

There's a few changes in the Hope Valley, Don, I can see. You know, when at Buxton (back in the 80s), we had a peak Forest to Leeds (Balm Road), job, with those rubbishy 35 ton 45 m.p.h. maximum ex-iron ore tipplers, then carrying limestone aggregate. It was a crew worked job, then became DOO. It seemed to take forever to get to Leeds via the way of your video here. I'd say that a driver on this route really needs to have a damned good knowledge, especially with all the junctions on the way, primarily after Sheffield! It's a video well explained Don, and many thanks for its release. Goodbye, and take care.

I've done some UniPart (Rail) deliveries to Midland Road, it's a very interesting site.

Love these videos - 21st century rebirth of the world’s most impressive 19th century infrastructure

Great

Cannot get over going through tunnels in total darkness. Here in Australia we turn headlights or ditch lights on.

Supremo !

Can not believe Midland road.Depot is so hard to get into from the southend

Another brilliant video Don. I noticed the Hunslet Station Junction and wondered if METRO, the erstwhile West Yorkshire PTE, would build a new station there or is that a non starter?

What a great video Don and have now subscribed to your channel. One question; In your video's is it you doing the driving ? If not on a "dead end" journey like this one how do you get your camera's back?

Great stuff Donald as usual, but why do Bells & Horns (AWS Audible) not sound like Bells & Horns when i were a Lad. P.S. Re- Open Buxton/Tinsley TMD to save on fuel and zig-zag timewasting on this Loco M.O.T. move.

Thanks Don, nice video. I wonder why they didn't save a reversal by routing via Wakefield Westgate rather than Woodlesford?

Seems to be one or two AWS anomalies in this I think. One gave no audible sound at all and one at 51m 40s gave a Horn but there didn’t seem to be a signal related to it. I thought it was for the proceed aspect in L6573 in the distance, but as we approach that signal we pass over another AWS in front which gave the correct Bell.

A question why do the track workers wave to the driver? Brilliant video.

As usual Don a great video. Thanks to the driver as well. As an aside what maintenance was required? The GM 2 stroke howled beautifully and the loco handled well, no brake or air issues, just wondering

I would have thought network rail would have put a set of points. cross over in to make it easier for pathing

Great video again, thank you. How does the driver get home once he has made delivery?

Is the Freightliner depot on the old Balm Road Stone Terminal?

I assume that a signal may be passed at danger if those two white lights are showing??

Would luv a video of a run from Huddersfield to Sheffield

Silly question but why can't Hunslet Station Junction crossover be used to change lines?

What is that constant clicking in the cab?

Holbeck train depot...?? Don't you mean Holbeck train care centre which Northern renamed Newton Heath traction depot.. 😮😂😂

When you're sitting in the seat, does the loco headlight illuminate the tunnel as poorly as it seems to us?

I’ve seen people in the station at Sheffield defo not New Year’s Day, New Year’s Eve maybe don coffey

How long is totley tunnel lol

Sure it’s New Year’s Day? Cos passenger trains don’t run New Year’s Day on the network

The area around Sheffield station is supremely ugly, as if it's been landscaped by someone without a soul.

That's an awful lot of fuss for not having a set of points in the right place.

First!
