This is the heritage railway that I work at, they are not abandoned at all and its a live, working depot. They hopefully should be restored soon
What heritage?
You sure
Was this place used once as a film set? It looks familiar. PS. You’re not a ghost that don’t know you are dead yet?
that was wy the hearing pros where like new
Sure thing. When will they be ready, 2040?
Possibly repeating what someone else has said so apologies. That is the Guards compartment not Controllers, that's an American term. The decorative cloths over the seats are called antimacassar. Macassar was an oil that gentlemen put on their hair so these were to protect the upholstery. People had them on their furniture at home for the same reason back in the day, and also used on the arms of chairs. As an apprentice Vehicle Builder at The Plant Doncaster BREL I worked on many MKI and II coaches and also many Brake Vans. We had the Royal Scotsman coaches in one year and they were something else.
Back in the early 60s greasy hair goo went out of fashion. "Greasy kid stuff" it was called in commercials for Vitalis, as I recall. Nobody uses stuff like Brylcreem anymore.
Good to hear from someone who knows what they talking about.
They're not really called 'cars' in the UK, that's mainly American terminology. They're called coaches or carriages here. And these aren't abandoned, they're up for renovation and sadly if folk get into them and ruin them, then they will indeed become scrap. You were clearly respectful, which is great, but so many others aren't and these things get destroyed or burnt out.
@Ben LawsIndeed. Hence why I said 'not really', as opposed to 'not'. There are some exceptions, but on the whole, they're coaches or carriages. Depends on the type of train.
@@StrathpefferJunction In the UK it's generally loco hauled trailing stock which are known as coaches or carriages, whereas it's the vehicles of self powered multiple unit trains which are known as "cars", especially with urban electric units, like those on the london underground.
For Heaven's sake, people! When he said, " burnt-out car warehouse", he meant the automobile warehouse and garage that had been gutted by a conflagration of flame and 🔥 , that had been documented on the news. The one owned by an automobile dealership.
@@majorpygge-phartt2643 Yes; as you say, London Underground people often shorten the term to ‘car’, as per ‘6 car set’ etc. These days, with modern stock there’s not much difference with so much being ‘self powered’ rather than loco hauled.
Even then, the word passenger is typically used in the American term passenger cars. But we do also say coaches here.
My inner train nerd is having a field day with this video.
Get the jargon right lads !
Carriage/Car = Coach 🤦🏼♂️
Warehouse= Carriage shed or depot 🤦🏼♂️
Controller= Guard 🤦🏼♂️
Train= Loco 🤦🏼♂️
Holding cell ! 🤦🏼♂️ = Guards van !
Jargon busted 👍🏼😉
The interiors of these carriages are in better condition than the current modern day offerings
Much more comfortable as well
Sadly they'll crush you to death if you were to crash in one. As nice as a lot of the old carriages were they're literal death traps compared to modern ones.
@@TalesOfWar true, they used to splinter into a thousand pieces in big accidents.
@@TalesOfWar more chance of getting hit by a train than actually having a crash in one though...
Over 20 years ago, I worked for a railroad in the United States, and we had a great deal of abandoned infrastructure. Mostly buildings, a turntable that actually worked, as well as dormant microwave sites scattered across the line. Looking, I wish I would have taken pictures, as most of it is long gone.
Some the newer cars in your video, don't look too terribly old - perhaps 20 or 30-years old. With the mold & bird droppings, a respirator is definitely required. Thanks for taking the video, as it was both entertaining & educational. :)
Well i have never seen a set of points inside a shed like this. In fact it looks to be a complete crossover. Amazing.
For info - the 'decorative napkins' over the backs of the seats in the first class carriage are actually called antimacassars. They are so placed to try to avoid the seat backs getting 'filthy' from the heads of travellers resting on them.
Thanks for letting us know!
Yes, I posted that already x
Victorian gentleman used Macassar oil to style and fragrance their hair.
@@Pianoguy32 I mean that was a hundred years before that coach was made
@@noaerrr the headrest covers were around then too. Hence they are called 'antimacassars'
9711 was moved to Weardale Railway in January 2020, so the Mk2 DBSO has been in this shed a little over a year. It is due for restoration, however like so many projects, covid will have paused these plans - the owners, Crewe Diesel Preservation are planning on refurbishing a full push-pull set in fact. The Inter-City Mk2 M3374 carriage is available to buy as a Hornby model and, I THINK, is owned by Riviera Trains, who of course are also not operating due to covid. Rolling stock storage is often basic but run down, but there nothing here which is abandoned or forgotten in the slightest. My dad is a huge railway geek and I was in sheds worse than this back in the early 80s watching engineering volunteers slowly restore their giant projects.
I'd hoped someone might see this video and snap these carriages up and restore and display them.
@@FlickeringEmber They are stored there waiting their turn, cant restore everything at once.
@@FlickeringEmber hi i agree, what clown put them there in the first place ?
@@petersmith4455
No clowns. The point of this comment is that the building and these coaches are NOT abandoned 🤷♂️
That's good news
This is amazing! Love this it feels like it has been stuck in time loved the vid keep up the good work!
Much appreciated - thank you for the kind message
The cab is a Driving Brake Second Open. This was part of a batch of MK2f carriages converted in 1979 for the Edinburgh to Glasgow service. As this was a back and forth journey it meant that the Locomotive could be controlled and train driven from the opposite end of the rake in one of the 2 directions, normally from Edinburgh to Glasgow. This means that this was not necessary for the Locomotive to run round at one end of the journey and it could operate the service in push-pull mode, saving time in the intensive schedule. A batch of Class 47 locos were converted to be able to run in push-pull mode and reclassified as 47/7. In 1984 when the train was travelling at high speed in push mode and had just passed Polmont, the leading DBSO hit a cow thst had got into the line and due to its relatively light weight, derailed. As the loco continued to push for a few more seconds, the carriages zig-zagged, causing a many fatalities. The DBSOs still in service today are now speed limited as a result.
They worked from London Liverpool Street to Norwich on the Great Eastern main, in recent years, with Class 86 and 90s propelled at speeds of up to 100 mph. Several mods were made since the incident in '84 including snowploughs, added ballast weight and gangway reinforcement to enable 100 mph running. Some were recently in use with DRS and Network Rail.
@@kevvynolan8753 Cheers, didn't know that, very interesting. Trying to get an 00 gauge model of one is proving difficult!
@@split_pin don’t think you can get any models, you can get a conversion kit though
@@Bahamas-rd8le Bachmann make an 00 gauge one but its ludicrously expensive.
My old account was on that train,,he changed seats with the man next to him and that man got killed 15 minutes later by being partially flung out a window,my accountant of Muslim faith said the experience changed his life.
Shame to see as I am a train enthusiast, the mk2 carriages and mk1 carriages are very much still in use today across a lot of the heritage railways up and down the country, like stepping back in time I so enjoy it, great video as always lads keep up the good work see you in the next one 😀👍
I like old train carriages. I feel like the decor was made to make you feel homely and snug, kind of like a living room on rails. Today's trains feel very sterile and cold in comparison.
That was one awesome video.
Thanks for putting out videos like that.
Take care & stay safe.
Wow, just discovered your site, and I'm so glad I did, loving it. ❤ can't wait to watch some more.
Reminds me of the old sheds may Dad worked in at Newton Abbot when it was a proper working station back in the late 70s early 80s
Not really as abandoned but more likely stored out of harms way.
The blue / greys look to me as being part of a fully restored set that was recently out on the mainline for tours.
Let's hope videos like this don't end up giving chance for vandals trashing them.
Why is everything so americanised🤷 cool find mind probably grade 2 listed by now
@@deanwilliams5466 they're mk2s E and F types are my guess but they aren't mk3s
I dont think this was made by a rail fan just someone who likes to tresspass into abandoned buildings.
9711 Anglia was actually seen at a scrapyard in 2017, so seeing it here indicates that someone wants to preserve it.
The DBSO seems to be owned by the weardale railway
Fantastic find. I have just gotten into the world of urbex here in Spain. Awesome video.
I would definitely love to see more vehicle graveyards. I’m a huge car and urbex fanatic, so combining the two worlds is perfect to me. Keep up the videos lad, loving them!
This isn't a graveyard, more a rather insecure secure store.
Thanks, more to come certainly
ive done a few buddy
Guys, as always an amazing video thank you and stay safe.
Thanks for the support
By the way, these aren’t abandoned or forgotten. The Mk2 DBSO (9711) belongs to the Crewe Heritage Centre.
Will the Heritage Centre be restoring the carriage?
yeah proberly like 50011 at the heratage centre it got scrapped
If they're owned by crewe Howcome this isn't in crewe?
@@zachbedfordmedia7631 it was moved for resto last year, just before covid.
Isn’t this trespassing as he is on private land
Great to see something a bit different. Look forward to the next video!
Happy you enjoyed it, thank you
Brilliant stuff! In a way it's a shame access is so easy as unlike you chaps who were just fascinated and capturing some superb footage others might go in just to wreck things. I'm just hoping others who go in are as respectful as you.
Thanks for the awesome video!
Great video of stuff most of us would like see, keep it up guys, especially the industrial sites which I find really intriguing. More vehicle/machinery graveyards ? Yes please 👍
Great info about the place you are exploring very professional :).
We spend a good amount of time trying to learn about the refreshing environments we find ourselves inside, happy that it's noticeable :)
Thanks for this great explore I loved it 100%👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No problem, thankful that you liked it
I'd be interested in seeing more.vehicle graveyards. Interesting way of going back over recent history.
Great video guys! I guess a facility like this one is not in regular use anymore due to the size of modern trains, as well as the unsafe condition of the structure. Maybe it was built to service steam engines back in the day? Anyway, more videos like this one please. The history of the UK's transport infrastructure is really interesting and not often reported.
Aviation, especially on the older commercial planes, the wing numbers tell a story of original owners until they are retired. Although today’s and previous videos all good! Keep up the good work!
With you on that one 👍
This is Madness they all need to get out of there.
Such high quality content, great video!!
Thank you!
It's refreshing to see how seating arrangements were under BR .I used to use them from Liverpool lime Street to London and I found them very comfortable. I was more recently on a pendelino and although the London journey was faster I couldn't help but notice the lack of space and cramped aircraft style seating but thay don't half go.
Most splendid correct!
The interior of the older train was delightful! So much space. It shows the creators were considering pleasure over efficiency, which isn't focused on nowadays.
Great video, but why are you going all American? Railroad, car etc?
Love this vid pal! The ‘napkins’ on the headrests/seat backs are called antimacassars. There were designed to protect the seats from chemicals in hair creams back in the day. Just a little fun fact there for ya. Cheers for the vid. Get me fired up to do some urbex myself which I’ve always fancied.
My family like having meals on vintage lines. They dress up these carriages and it's great.❤️
This is amazing - Thank you for sharing - I like the Brake Van - interesting - it is like that Time had stood still!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂
These coaches definitely in storage as they are in very good condition. Used to look after 1254 20 years ago when it was a cross country vehicle.
Wow what a find bet you never expected that when you stood outside these building. Absolutely love this kind of stuff.
Don’t think the building has much time left so is likely to start collapsing on the rolling stock within 😢
Great video guys
It's grade 2 listed, the owners want to restore it but need funds first.
Thank you :)
What a fab video .....amazing scenes of those lovely period trains and the building. I hope they get restored....especially the early 60s carriages which are like the ones in the Bond film: From Russia with Love!
It'll be magnificent to have this place and the trains restored to its former glory.
A good insight into how good train travel used to be.
The building has a fascinating history if you go and look in to it
It really does. It was the sort of amazing history we wanted to keep low as to not promote the building's heritage.
I went here a few weeks ago and for anyone that hasn’t been it really is as amazing as it looks.
Nice, thanks for posting 👍🏻
No problem
Not abandoned, just no-one there when you arrived. It's in use and the carriages are preserved.
These look like stored movie props to me. What do you think viewers?
Nah
@@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198 Definitely not, it's just a maintenance shed of a preserved railway.
I think it used to be a maintenance shed, but is now just a storage shed ... but a crumbling one.
Those seats I remember being so much more comfortable than the new trains, even on first-class, they seem thin and flimsy.
Simply amazing footage boys
Nice meeting you this evening. Great video, keep it growing and all the very best
Always a pleasure to chat to a fellow photographer! All the best to you too
What an absolute gem of a find..so glad to see it preserved like this, to be honest it's the elements that have found it like this..I am glad it is still around to be documented for us to see..love all your videos whether it's old, new or otherwise.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed this feature. The building seems to have been damaged before the trains were placed inside, due to it's former use.
I've seen this building myself many times, but never ventured in as it's still active, with plans for the rail line attached to be used a lot more
Where is it friend lol
@@PrincepsAve Weardale Railway Wolsingham.
This is brilliant. Very interesting
Love the mk2 coaches. Great find.
For anyone questioning this shed I found where it is and I won't give away its location but all the stock isn't abandoned it is all preserved under a heritage society and this shed connects to a much bigger yard with mainline connection, so without permissions this video is more illegal than you may think
It is abandoned there's hardly any roof above and you can hear all the water coming in, they would have much newer and secured places built to house trains to be worked on, that place is disused for sure. Most of those trains are from British rail era.
@@TheAnonyy it isn't the shed is apart of weardale railway the carriage siding is falling apart but those coaches are mainline ready and are used for rail tours
@@TheAnonyy its not Abandoned, its a fully operational Preserved line, its operated by Volunteers and need the money donated by others to help restore things like it, its the weardale railway
The first class seating is not private it's just a corridor carriage which were common up until the mid 1970s.
I’m not even 50 and I remember trains having these “private” compartments. All I see now are dens of smoke and a bygone age but that’s how many trains were in the UK up until the 1980s. The Mk2 coach, the one they said wasn’t that interesting, it looks just like the diesel-pulled InterCity trains I remember! This is the age of the train!
It was the genesis of high capacity trains in the UK, the 2+2 seating arrangement.
Fantastic video
It’s almost like walking through time
The older carriage with the private booth and the armchair seats looks identical to the carriage I traveled from London to Felixtowe in the 1980s as part of the UK part of my journey on the Orient Express. The UK segment used this type of carriage to loom older than they really were. This was on of the dining cars - I may even have been on board that very carriage as we sat in the private booth for the journey. I am pleased to hear that the preservation group are saving the carriages for future use - hopefully no oiks get in to ruin them.
Thank you, that was interesting to see. The cloth on the back of the chairs is called 'Antimacasa' it comes from when Men used an oil in their hair (like Brillcream) called Macasa. It used to stain the back of armchairs at home or when out, so everyone used antimacasa's.
I remember the WCML in 1974, Lodon to Glasgow, fairly sure the locomotive was an 84 in early Electric Blue but not certain, it was all so clean and felt like you were in a rocket, my usual motive power was a 4EPB!
Fascinating video. Great stuff.
Brilliant love this find
Very cool explore as always. Hopefully some of these will be preserved there is a lot of history inside those walls but with the condition of the roof and dampness it might not last that long.
That is what we noticed - they're at a stage where anything could happen. Their location favours protection but they're condition favours further deterioration and destruction.
Those weird lace things on the seats bugged me but an older relative told me they are called 'antimacassars' to stop people with greasy hair marking the seats. The things you learn after watching Urbandoned! 😄 The footage kept reminding me of that 2015 werewolves-on-a-train movie 'Howl'. I'd love to see more vehicle/machinery graveyards, your explore of the massive burnt out car warehouse is one of my favourites. Quality stuff.
Your relative is correct. I statrted at Lovers Walk, Brighton as a heavy cleaner in January 1997, and we still used the same name, Although they were paper by then and in the first class compartments of 63 stock only.
Maccasa oil, was a hair oil used from late Victorian until the 1950s to slick down gents hair. Think the way the boys in Grease slick their hair.
Anti-maccasas as they became known were common on trains and in homes and are still used, particularly in 1st class
The days when Brillcreme was used a lot.
@@snowflakemelter1172 Brill Creme! A lit-tle dab'll do ya!
@@snowflakemelter1172 Teddy Boys come to mind. My uncle was one.
Superb lads
In over 30 yrs on The Railway, that is the first ever Brakevan that I have seen that doesn`t have a Coal Stove in it. It used to be part of my job to prepare those things for going into traffic, including lighting the Fire. Network Rail only Banned them from use not long ago.
Great work lads, your respect for these sites is admirable
Thank you! We try and keep it as tasteful as we can
I work at Ecclesbourne valley railway and we have those first class red coaches. Just been refurbished
BertGaming : I was pleased to read your comment !
Amazing views of that train shed
Very cool!
English accent but strange American terminology.....
"car" - carriage
"cabin" - cab
"railroad" - railway
"fee" - fare
"decorative napkins" - err, headreast covers/antimacassars
"there wasn't nowhere near as much...."
Poor educational standards of English schools im afraid.
It's the same as that family guy episode, when Stewie says to Brian about his girlfriend Jillian's voice getting that inflection in her voice, and her voice going up at the end of every senteeence!.
I noticed it working in a shop, that so many people now speak with a fake American voice, and cant even form a sentence without using the word like...
When students came in to the shop from say London,it would be that stupid gangsta "innit,blud"" accent,or the generic accent, that's now used in every part of the country
@@tonyjones9442 Netflix generation. Linguistic impotence.
As a lifelong train fan, this was absolutely fascinating! Liked and subscribed, and followed on Gram Town!
We're happy you found it interesting
I must’ve ridden that green Anglia train hundreds or thousands of times Norwich London Liverpool St in the 90’s/00’s. Great cooked full English breakfast on it.😊
This was one of the best abandoned videos I have watched in a long time. Good photography and editing. Thanks for sharing. I will watch more.
Yeah I would like to see more as I’m a rail fan (fan of trains)
Wow this was fun and informative! So sad thThey are left unkept and not in a museum! Thumbs up! Trish
Agreed! Thank you
What a find! Looks so untouched, no vandalism, just decay.
The place isnt actually abandoned, the building itself is clearly in a state of decay but a few of the carriages inside are owned by a heritage
Great explore. I would love to see more vehicle graveyards.
More on the way..
I remember travelling on MK2 sets just like that, less than 20 years ago. Anglia used them up until about 2005. That Mk1 was a real gem, definitely a preserved/restored vehicle to its 1950s condition. Compared with today's trains they seem positively palatial! Even the 1st class Mk2s and 3s were rather well appointed compared to the sterile and harsh new trains. I wish train travel was still something to be enjoyed like it once was, not simply a means of moving people in bulk from point A to point B. I can also imagine the building was quite attractive too in its former glory.
The Mk1 isn't restored to it's original condition, it's actually a SK 25307 (8 standard compartments) but the Dartmouth Railway converted it to a First Open but retaining one compartment, so it's a hybrid!
@@JBTEvans I meant restored more in terms of it's livery and period style interior furnishings than the specific layout, but thats interesting to know. Either way I'm sure it is delightful to travel in.
Thankyou for sharing.
thank you for making us entertained😄
You have trespassed on our property.
Durham Constabulary have been informed.
We seem to be missing some items from the old carriage that we had a detailed inventory of.
Would you care to explain and contact us in order to assist the Police investigation.
Hi, we don’t take anything from places so these items must have been misplaced. If I remember correctly, there wasn’t much of items to take besides the seat throws, and we don’t have any of them. The police can come to us if they wish, but we predict the lack of ‘no trespass’ signs as well as the buildings disconnection from the rail line would project our infiltration as civil.
@@Urbandoned lack of no trespassing signs don't work mate - Ive used that defence - your local boarded up shop or house for sale doesn't have them, and even if the door window was open - you wouldn't get away with "no trespassing signs were up". But the best way to defend any potential claim in future is to document the point of entry and establish it has been used before, This covers you a little if you get accused of breaking and entering.
Be very careful the land/property owner doesn't throw accusations at you like things are missing or things are damaged due to your entry (legal or otherwise) and try to use two cameras as legal back up.
In case your wondering I did my first urbex ( it wasn't called that then) a whopping 36/37 years ago in a closed railway station that's now a retail park, so I know what I'm talking about.
Good luck from an (almost) retired urbexer 👍
@@Scots_Diesel meh I disagree. Lack of trespass signs prevents a visit from being aggravated, specifically on a damaged building that people are considering to be on a railway with a more serious offence. Inside the building, there are no signs that the tracks connect to active line, with rubble covering the tracks that indicates they have been out of use for a long time. Despite this might not actually being the case, on our initial visit we were under the belief that the trains were vacant, due to their decaying, mouldy, cobweb filled condition, which is what we projected in the video. Time someone has been doing Urbex doesn’t really change much for us, as we’ve been exploring for three years and have experienced pretty much everything, public and private that the hobby has to offer. We are obsessed as one might say.
@@Urbandoned it's not a case of disagreement, any law criminal or civil cannot be defended by the ignorance argument, many have tried it and lost, I nearly got done for breaking and entering a derelict old tramway power station in Kirkcaldy - despite it having various open entry points and no signs, luckily I got away with it at court.
They will say you had no just or lawful cause to be in the property therefore you wilfully gained access illegally. And if you say "there's no trespass signs" up they will argue that regardless of signs you should know it's wrong to enter into (differs from onto) private property.
On the flip side on commercial property if you got seriously injured, even though you're technically trespassing you, in theory can still sue for damages.
I'm trying to cover your ass dude after 37 years urbexing visiting 100s if not 1000s of sites and having worked with some of the UK and Irelands top ubexers I know what's what & a few scars, brushes with police, courts, security, druggies, homeless etc has taught me a lot about urban exploration - keep up the good work and learn from others and yourself.
Stay safe
P.S how long you been at it as I can give you pointers to a few places.
This is not abandoned, this is evidence of trespass. The camera operator can't be that daft to think those perfectly servicable units were abandoned for years.
I Really like watching these vids pal. Good work..
Thank you very much
06.04 These are 1970s rolling stock. In the late 1970s I did something like 12,000 miles a year using carriages like this. Look at the space with a table at every window and compare it with the trains of today with airplane type seating. I could well have stood at that buffet bar. Thanks for showing.
Car 9711 is an old DBSO (driving brake second open) which I recognize from the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line where I worked on the railway for 24yrs. These were withdrawn back in the 00s and were originally pushed pulled with class 86 locos, hence the driver controls at one end. It is still in "Anglia" blue and white livery. I will just add these sets came from Scotland where they were used on push-pull services between Glasgow and Edinburgh with a 47/7 for motive power.
DBSO 9711 was originally ex Scotrail. Used between Edinburgh and Glasgow on the push-pulls with a 477 at the other end.
@@rasherpig all DBSOs were originally on the Edinburgh and Glasgow route with 47/7s
@@Trainman10715 Yes. They were all converted in Glasgow for the Push/Pull Edinburgh - Glasgow service
The Building was originally the Gun Barrel Shed, part of the Wolsingham Iron Works Established in 1864. Gun Barrels for the Royal Navy where cast and machined in the building during World War 1, extended during World War 2 producing Shells & Casings and RMS Titanic's Anchor Head was Cast on Site as their as well. Plans to make the Garde II listed building into a museum for the Weardale Railway have not materialized so far.
Sadly listing buildings seldom seems to help with their preservation as the jobs for the boys shambolic way English heritage is run. Take it from someone who is trying to renovate a Grade 2 listed cottage.
Interesting
Thanks for this info, I just watched the video.
@@PurityVendetta If it’s only grade II you’ll be dealing with the local conservation officer not Historic England (as it is now called). Gaining LBC for even major changes to a grade II building is usually pretty easy, as long as you put the case.
At 7:38 the carriage/coach you're in is DBSO 9711 which is in Anglia Railways livery was retired from service in December 2006. It was moved to Crewe in Jan 2023.
Would love to see more vehicle graveyards. Love all that stuff
I would love to see more abandoned machinery graveyards, whether it's planes, trains, ships or automobiles. There's just something special about seeing these steel monsters who will never run again. If the locations are too small maybe make a compilation episode. Thank you very much!
I enjoy seeing history before it's lost to the elements like this. it's really sad too seeing it treated like this.
Amazing video guys
Great video! Fascinating.
Nice one :)
I don't know for sure, but this rolling stock looks like it's being stored possibly for restoration. Not sure the contributor has got all his facts right?
The ANGLIA one is getting restored, these coaches are just stored there for time being...
The coaches I know won't be coming back into public service as now are extremely outdated
@@transportacrosstheuk7369 They will most likely be restored for use on heritage railways. However, there are many older vehicles like this still in use on the mainline albeit for rail tours and dining trains.
The British Railways Mk. I coaches were built in the '50s.
Just watch your video abandoned train station grave yard,brilliant video and love the way you explained all about it,now new subscriber thanks for sharing very interesting video
Great Video!
That's a guards van with the wheel in that was at the end of the train with a guardsman in the train was at the front pulling the carriages. It shows you the younger generation using the American terms for words that's the one that's the influence from America. Although I do thank you for the footage very interesting and that lovely long old building.
Brilliant,keep up the good work.
Thank you
The Wairarapa line, connecting Wellington NZ, up the Hutt Valley, through the 8.9 Km Rimutaka tunnel and on over the plains to Masterton--about 100 Km all told, uses mainly refurbished and regauged Mk2 carriages with plug doors. There is plenty of bright lighting, personal reading lights, good toilets and a power point for every seat. Roaring along at about 70--85 km/hr...or less.. it is a real cruise of a journey. 100km==100 mins :-)
Comfortable carriages! built for short and long distance comfort Unlike the trains of today.
BR Mk1 and 2s, they are awaiting removel to Crewe, the building is a gem too.....
Going to Crewe for LSL?
