A compilation of footage spanning two days after 156917 "dropped" on to knotty services between Crewe and Newark owing to a 170 failure. Since 2022, the 156s have become rare on the knotty - with only 2 working on the route in 2023. With more EMR 156s going off lease at the end of the month and with all gone by May - this will be one of the last, if not the last on the knotty. These units have ...

I love when the driver said “I’ve got 13 it will do Mach 4 over snake pass!” 😂
I went uttixter
who should be in tsw 5? the class 01 or the class 02.
Anyone got some happy memories about the time the woodhead route was running
Am I the only one that thinks that 6046 needs a proper bell and headlamp?
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 67 Octagon and Every 37 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And Please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
With the cancellation of HS2 to Sheffield and Leeds, the Woodhead line should be reopened between the ECML (at Doncaster) the MML (at Sheffield) the WCML (at Manchester) and the Liverpool City Region. National Grid have stated that trains can still use the 1953 tunnel. However, if not then the 400kV cables should be moved to a smaller dedicated cable tunnel, to match the London area.
lovely photos, nice video but could someone please tell me roughly, where this is in the UK? I am from South Wales, not familiar with this line, gorgeous though it is.
Because this line connected to Manchester, I say they re-open this line for HS2 and re-build Sheffield Victoria station to make it an international terminal for Eurostar services. There are rumours that this could happen, but it's not officially confirmed yet.
The Class EM1 locomotives had trials in Essex at the time the Woodhead line wasn't ready to receive electric traction. Once the Woodhead DC overhead wire electrification scheme was completed were the EM1 Bo Bo locos allowed to go north. Passenger trains ceased to use the Woodhead line regularly in January 1970. The EM2 Co Co locos were sold to The Netherlands where they ran for a further seventeen years.
Something too often missed: The line stayed open 10 years after passenger services stopped. It carried freight for this time before the demand for that also dropped right off. I have driven on the Woodhead pass with my friend trying to spot remnants of the route wherever possible. It is mile upon mile of relatively hostile landscape with towns & villages pretty well spread out. Although I find it a bit odd that a route with OLE was closed, the line duplicated that of the Hope Valley so outlived its usefulness.
As a signalman who currently operates a manual box (and was once capable of playing the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata!) I found that most poignant. The rage at the destruction of those times continues. Thanks for uploading!
Ferromex no tenía la British Rail class 05
730 are in service on WMR?
Tomorrow On The Walsall-Birmingham-Wolverhampton.
Really enjoyed that, especially the 92. A lovely day too.
Very nice 👍👍👍👍
The cheesy little bell, and headlight combo on an S160 already had me chuckling, but the 1225 number boards just had me rolling, since I doubt the kids would get why they used that particular number
A lot of the s160s had headlamps, and some even had bells, so it couldn’t be too unusual.
Class 20 absolutely awesome. Great atmosphere, a shame it was the last day. S160 looks the part.
Excellent albeit rather emotional
Best 20 minutes spent🫡
on it
Nice
I had the pleasure of riding on this line a few years ago. I am not a train buff and prior to going on this organised event I had no idea this line existed. We had a lovely day out and would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip out in the spring/summer. Nice to be reminded of it with this post. Thank you.
Nice video, likes from me😀

On loan.

It is sad to see the woodhead route being taken away and not seen again although the line is now used for cyclists and joggers to come in this area
Fat Lorry 😂
Excellent video albeit rather sad
Excellent film. Glad you included the blue 40.
Absolutely Fantastic Compilation of the 86’s
Wish I was able to see one of these beasts
Fantastic photos. I work with Colin and he told me to watch this video... glad I did!
