Just read a book called the Aberford railways and the garfoth collieries which details a lot about the Selby line and marsh lane goods yard and why the Richmond hill tunnel ended up like it did 😊

@johnland7318 Год назад

You will have to walk along Ash Lane in Garforth which continues along the route of the Fly Line to Aberford!! The pub, The Fly Line, on the old colliery site is a travesty with an Artist's Impression of Flying Scotsman!!!! Nothing like the locomotive on the Aberford Railway.

Hi Darren, I'm not familiar with Leeds these days but flamin heck that part of leeds looked like a desolate place 😱 On the old maps it clearly showed the Quarry Hill flats, have they all been demolished or some spruced up into a gentrification buy to let development now? I forget the name of the TV show but Diana Dors starred as a matriarch of a dysfunctional family in QH flats. Anyways, a great reveal today. Cheers DougT

@baxtermarrison5361 Год назад

As a child I recall the site being still being used as a goods depot, well for aggregates specifically, although my father did filled me in on the station's history. Is there anything left of the line from Cross Gates up to Wetherby? 🤔 Perhaps if you are looking to cover the history of the Leeds/Selby/York line to the east of Leeds... 😊

@brianmcgrath9329 Год назад

Fantastic video . I lived in Quarry Hill Flats on the top floor of Jackson House right opposite Marsh Lane Goods station so we could see right into the station over the high wall. I remember my mother saying look at this when the engine came through that wall it caused chaos at the time. On that old photo you can just see the flats on the left and one may well have been ours. I also used to play on that long bridge over the station and somewhere there is a photo of me on that bridge. They brought cattle into that station as it was near to the cattle market next to the bus station. My Father worked there and I used to help him heard the cattle and sheep to the Slaughter House on the main road as it was so close only a couple of hundred yards away. This video certainly brought back memories, thank you.

If there hadn’t been opposition and delays to the Selby - Leeds Railway it would have beat the Liverpool - Manchester purely as passenger carrying in 1830, the original intention was to build a canal. When it was built another feature was to have four tracks all the way to Selby but there are only two after Crossgates (about four miles east of Leeds), but many bridges were constructed for four tracks well beyond that distance, forward thinking then! Another great video Darren.

@martindavis7456 Год назад

Finally getting back to the decent videos of the old railway in Leeds. can’t wait for the next ones. Not been on this channel for ages was getting an bit boring. Thanks for the new video

@AdventureMe Год назад

Thanks Martin. Just to point out when people go mad at me for doing other videos than just Railways. Other than the really big stations, they aren't as popular unfortunately, no matter what I do! The other history content gains many many more views and interest, and as I stated from the very early days, I am not a railway channel. The clue is in the channel name! This doesn't mean I will give up trying, and I still have a load of stations to do. On a side note, I am currently working on something very big to do with railways that will start later in spring. It's taken a while for me to get the permissions. But it will be mega for the channel and many future videos.

You bugger! Even with almost everything in sight erased from the pages of history 01:40 or, if still around, realigned and despite the b&w photo somehow skewing things as well.., you _still_ managed to keep to your famed fades pin point accuracy.

So it was actually the first ever railway station in Leeds. Before Leeds City station came which is where it still exists. Maybe more new railway stations could be built in Leeds or if Leeds were to have trams just like Birmingham, Manchester, Blackpool, Edinburgh, Croydon and Sheffield. And to have tram stops in Leeds. Very good documentary.

It reminded me of a photo that I saw last time I was back in the UK with my parents, it was of a crash at the Todmorden Viaduct in 1942, it shows the engine being craned back up to the line. Amazing the changes over the years in the centre of a city like Leeds Good luck from Spain!!

I can remember my dad telling me that sheep would arrive into the Marsh Lane goods yard by train before being herded along the road to the corporation abbatoir next to the market, currently where the NCP multi-storey car park is. From time to time, some poor sheep would get their hoof stuck in the tram tracks so the abbatoir would send a couple of men up with a cart, dispatch the poor beast in the middle of the road, clear the track and then take the sheep back on the cart....

@xaiano794 6 месяцев назад

The tunnel at richmond hill, and it is still a tunnel despite it being 5 tracks wide, used to be 2 tracks originally and it was opened up because trains had to stop at the signal before the station when travelling into marsh lane, and that meant all the passengers being sat in the dark and smoke of the tunnel, not ideal if you want to promote your railway to the public. I think it was opened in the 1860's, one of the largest civil engineering projects of the day.

@simonzonenblick395 Год назад

Fantastic video. Can you tell me if the maps are contemporaneous with what is being said as they appear? For instance, when you're describing the new station in the 1860's we see a bridge clearly extending from Shannon St over the railway to the land beside. You show and describe the old footbridge, which I remember as a child from when we visited my grandma at the nearby flats, and whose period of origin I've been trying to pin down. I have always wondered whether this bridge with its iron sides was the same as the one in the maps, or if it was later rebuilt in the same place to replace an earlier 19th century structure.

@PStaveley Год назад

You implied that you cannot hover a drone above a railway line. Obviously as a registered drone pilot you must fly safely but, assuming it is a sub-250g drone, there are no laws preventing you from flying over a railway line. Network Rail have in the past tried to imply that there are restrictions but they have now admitted that there is no basis in Law for their prohibition. I suggest that you check the most recent CAA guidance on the subject. Obviously if there is a prohibition on drone assist (such as close to an airport or prison) then that must be followed but there are not normally any CAA prohibitions over railway lines.

@AdventureMe Год назад

Yeah I know I would be allowed to do so, and they were on strike that day so no trains. But the electrical wire was right where I needed to be and the wind was horrendous anyway. I just deemed it not safe. P.S, I didn't wanna pee them off as I'm trying to gain access to some stuff too lol

@PStaveley Год назад

@@AdventureMe Yes, you must fly safely. I just wanted to check that you knew the current rules. Well done.
