I'm really hoping Penistone is twinned with Scunthorpe.

@pmberry Год назад

We're twinned with a town in Iceland but Wombwell is on the Penistone Line.

@egpx Год назад

There used to be a branch off the Penistone Line from Shepley to Clayton West that somehow survived the Beeching cuts and saw passenger services to Huddersfield into the eighties. However, with the closing of the coal mine at Clayton West the cost of maintaining the line could not be justified and it was closed. The line passed through a tunnel close to my old secondary school, Shelley High. There is now a narrow gauge line, the Kirklees Light Railway, that runs along the old route including through the tunnel which is worth a trip.

@madbess4098 Год назад

I traveled this line every workday for 7yrs in the 1980s- Brockholes to Sheffield. I recall many a snowy morning, standing on the platform in Brockholes around 6:30 AM, only for the train not to show up! Midland Station has had a make-over and I like that the trains now have usb plugs and free wi-fi, but it's nice to see the view from the carriage window hasn't really changed a lot! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 🙂

@davebirch1976 Год назад

I didn't have an issue with the name of the line, it was the pronunciation of Hallam that I was shocked by 😆

How to pronounce the stop after Barnsley ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-74Z3K0E9taI.html. I have known station announcements get it wrong.

@davebirch1976 Год назад

@@CheekyBandit yeah, all locals know its a silent "w" Speaking of Barnsley, A couple of years ago there was a bit of a mix up with the announcements that get played in the interchange/bus stations, and I heard "while in Barnsley Interchange" in Rotherham bus station 😆 definitely one of those "did I just hear that right" moments 🤣

@CheekyBandit Год назад

Like Sheffield who have also seem to have got Manea wrong (they pronounced it "Mannier")

I've done that line 4 or 5 times and it never fails to impress and make you realise your level of maturity. You missed that on Sundays some of them trains reverse in Sheffield and go all the way to Lincoln, my hometown, a place well worth visiting

@ricktownend9144 Год назад

Lovely to see this line featured; I remember the fight to save it back in the 1970s/80s. It's a lovely bit of the country. I can't believe the lack of priority given to reliability. The trains are well used, despite the roundabout route, and there appear to be hardly any bus alternatives: surely an opportunity there for one of our enterprising, innovative and - er - passenger-friendly privatised bus companies ...

@paulharvey9149 Год назад

I'm never sure that 2 x 3 seating actually works! People who don't know each other tend not to want to be too cosy, while few prefer to join those that do! What do others think?

@barrieshepherd7694 Год назад

I agree, I suspect that the 2+3 arrangement is to meet some DfT KPI rather than any consideration for customer satisfaction. I also suspect that, apart from maybe a one hour peak loading window, many middle seats are unoccupied - even when loads are high people seem to think these seats are for bags rather than customers 🤣. It would seem, to me , that it would be better to go with 2+2 or if 2+3 has to be retained space the seats to give more legroom.

@stephenlaarkamp7344 Год назад

Being from the U.S. where 2x3 seating is pretty normal for commuter and regional trains, it's always surprising to see how narrow they can be in Britain. It's no doubt because U.S. trains have a wider loading gauge, so there is a lot more room on the inside to work with, so it works a bit better here. Even then, more newer commuter trains here are going to 2x2 with double-deckers, so the issue does remain, just to a lesser degree than the UK.

@Stevenspielburger Год назад

It gives you more cheaper advanced singles

@barrieshepherd7694 Год назад

@@Stevenspielburger How come? Ticket prices are not bound to seating capacity. Anyway do Northern even sell advanced single tickets?

@Stevenspielburger Год назад

@@barrieshepherd7694 They do. Dylan travelled on advanced single. They're are now more available seats so more advances. Another example is EMR. The 3x2 seating of the "connect" services offer more cheap advance tickets than the less capacious 222's from the same station

@TB76Returns Год назад

Actually, after being transferred to Northern, the 150/0s were first used on the Ribble Valley line between Clitheroe and Rochdale,as I can remember seeing them at Clitheroe station (hell even riding one to Ramsgreave and Wilpshire once) from 2021 to 2022, but they now have been transferred to the Penistone line....fitting as the 144 Pacers they used on the line were 3 car units

@deco983 Год назад

Nice video!

@bobbyshafto3259 Год назад

Very interesting Dylan. We recently had a day out on the p??? from Huddersfield to Dodworth,Barnsley and Penistone and it was a TOP day out. They were trying to shut this line in the early 80's no trains on Sundays and last train on an evening about 7pm....since then,with the addition of Barnsley and Meadowhall it's been booming and long may that continue. Cheers!

Great trip report Dylan

@DylansTravelReports Год назад

@kevinellis8869 Год назад

Didn't realize the 3 car 150s were created the same way as the 158s on the much maligned Portsmouth-Cardiff route that I used very often in the 2010s. Two car sets anywhere can create capacity issues (Nottingham-Leeds being a particular example) and many smaller stations can't cope with anything longer but we need to ensure passengers can have some comfort.

@Tlk-d1e Год назад

This reminds me of the GWR 158 sets

@nachbarslumpi7093 Год назад

Always strange to see a central station without any electrification, even we in Germany have done just 60 % of the net, but nothing in a bigger city is unimaginable. It’s the 21 st century remember.

@sinadiatta9905 11 месяцев назад

Sheffield is the 4th biggest British city as well! And yet it only sees diesel trains. Even London has an non electrified terminus (Marlyborne)

@jasonmoore7854 Год назад

Living in Barnsley, I agree that the service is bad, you got it on a good day though. Usually there are about 7 to 8 cancellations a day. It definately needs improving, but it is scenic, which is a bonus.

@EpicThe112 Год назад

Really excellent video Dylan and in some situations your 150/0 at Huddersfield will then go over the NTP to Manchester Victoria via Standege Tunnel Marsden as an ECS move for a combined 150/2 150/0 Calder Valley Line trip if needed

@Sim0nTrains Год назад

150001 and 150002 are 3 car trains which don't have the cab in the middle as they were built as 3 coach unlike the other 4 150/0s do love Brockholes Station and visited that area once but do love the name Penistone 😂 Great video.

Nice to see my hometown station made it in your video (Barnsley or as we call it "tarn").. Did you visit the station pubs at Sheffield or Huddersfield? As An FYI I know a northern driver who says 150, 158 are the most common to the Penistone route although the CAFS do make an odd appearance as they are "light"

@TheSpotify95 Год назад

46 mph in a temporary 40 mph limit is nothing, most people nowadays don't tend to take any notice whatsoever about speed limits... Still, it's good that you're driving as well - I decided not to until I actually need to start driving, due to high insurance prices.

@MartinJames389 Год назад

"Haleham"? It's Hallam. Surely Penistone viaduct is before the station, not after it, if you're coming from Sheffield.

@skippermyson8485 Месяц назад

@MartinJames389 Месяц назад

@@skippermyson8485 Both are entirely correct. There are other viaducts on the line, but the one just before Penistone is on the Sheffield (i.e. Dodworth, Barnsley etc.) side. That is the Penistone viaduct. You have obviously confused it with one of the others.

Looks like you had a typical English summer's day (in spring) for this trip on THAT line. I hadn't noticed the double entendre for Penistone until this video. Next time you travel on a Northern Class 150 it might be a good idea for you to pick a bay of four or isolated seat row so you don't have a dead leg at the end of the trip.

I pity anyone doing this commute on a daily basis. Until the 1980s the line took the much shorter former Great Central Railway route. The track was singled in 1989, meaning no direct trains and only a couple of passing loops. It's pretty enough on a nice day, but 1hr 16mins is madness for an essential bit of northern railway infrastructure. They need to double track it, asap, it was quicker in Victorian times.
