Wolverton Works - CLASS 18 Shunters on Aerial 360 Flyover 

Yes its a huge site. One of the 319s is a flex class 769 now so they made be there for conversion

Thanks 👍. It's a lot bigger than it seems although so much is now derelict

No problem. Thanks for watching 👀

Thank you. I have many more planned for the summer. The shunters are class 18, built in the UK by Clayton but not at Wolverton. They're Hybrid diesel/battery shunters. Only one is in use at the moment, 18001 on hire to GBRf at whitemooor yard, March

Terrible really that they can't store them inside

You can see a bit from the supermarket car park. Not sure if it's tesco or lidl, but that's about it

On my list 👍

I'm guessing they're stored awaiting use as they look brand new

@@miniature-airlines I have checked and apparently they were a 'speculative build' with no orders when they started their construction. It seems they haven't sold any then.

Found them in the latest spotting book. Apparently there's one working at Whitemoor Yard, March

@@miniature-airlinesNot anymore. It’s gone and good riddance.

@@22pcirish where's it gone?

No, the train shed is now designer housing and the football ground I believe is a garden with a lake

😊football stand is still there in the park.

@@miniature-airlines I went there a while ago, this year and had an explore around the outside of Wolverton works and at the end by Mcdonalds and the Tesco petrol station they have kept the train sheds, but have done a small amount of demolition but on the whole kept most of the buildings, and have actually built homes and some cafes inside the works buildings. In one of the sheds you have actually got to go inside the shed to go through the front door of the home, the home is like being in its own cocoon.

They made the old carriage shed into posh flats so could potentially do the same with the old works buildings if there was access to them from outside 🤔

You could get a lot of invaders on that site. GOV U.K. PARLIAMENT is a horror story,🤡funny buying abroad when we virtually started the Industrial Revolution. GOV U.K. cause a lot of mental anguish to real BRITS, too much to take! 😡🇬🇧😡

Just a bit , yes . Most of it is derelict

Present owners want to demolish old work sheds and build housing but council has refused planning as the only way into site is to cross the lines in the works, so instead of doing up the old bits, which are said to be in good condition except for roofs, they have left the to rot.

🤣
