Trains at Clay Cross & Shirebrook - 1990 

Another gem Roy. Hard to believe the 58s are gone as are MGR trains. I remember the 58s being built and I once saw all 50 on a single day visiting about 10 depots in the car including Shirebook

Reminds me of a day bunked from school in 1983, Reading to Sheffield, 2p bus to Tinsley then on to Shirebrook! Excellent, thanks for sharing 👍

A trip down memory lane for me!

Thanks for posting. Brilliant footage and a joy to watch the different type of freight trains. Superb close ups of Class 58s and different liveries as well! The beat video this year so far.

Really good footage of the 58s at work; thanks.

Hello Roy, I'm never one to leave a comment on every video I watch but these remind me so much of my train spotting days. Being a lad of this area it's so sad to see how the traffic has demised over the years. Nowadays I feel like I never spent enough time wandering around places like Shirebrook, Clay Cross junc, Westhouses, Tibshelf sidings etc; should have taken far more photos and notes! This is an excellent video and many thanks for sharing.......now whereabouts is my camera and note book?

Another great trip down memory lane Roy. Loved all the mainline action. The close ups of the Class 58s were superb, and great shots of loco movements at the junction. Thank you. Vivian.

Great work Roy. Always a pleasure to watch.

Worked as a train guard at Shirebrook in the 70s thought it would never end, Sadly it did.

Used to love that spot at Clay Cross , sadly fenced off years ago.

The train at 4:06 really bounces around when riding along the track. I wonder if the driver nicknamed it Zebedee?

Haha, awesome to see everyone bouncing around in that bubble car :) thanks again for the video

Brilliant thank you.

Cows are thinking "What? You never seen a train before?"

Got 56010 there in October very wet and overcast day

were those passenger rail cars Pacers?

track dosent look all that flat around there

Thanks for sharing Roy, much appreciated

Brave shot at 12:56 - those bulls do not look very friendly

I wonder if 3x class 20 could have done the work of the 2x class 37's.... Anyone know?

Great video - and look just how run down everything is!

Nice lot of noise, clag and thrash in these videos! Nice to look back at the 90's

4:26 those tractors are going for it. Expected them to drift round the curve there.

they say if you work in the railroafds you become train man.

Thank you for this excellent video-why were 1980s built class 58s withdrawn with relatively little mileage/wear?

As below, awesome

Excellent vid Roy some classic shots there cheers Steve ,,

Did 56110 SPAD the shuntlight?
