That's not bad footage for VHS, I've seen a lot worse. I never bought a VHS camera as they were very expensive. I had a Bolex 16mm camera, but that too was expensive to feed with film, and it didn't last long.

Well done for converting all that 8mm cine footage and expertly edited. Full of interest and covers the people working the line as well as the physical railway infrastructure. In a few years I think AI technology will be able to sharpen up the images.

I explored this in full in 1994 when the Barrow Crossing operator still had to trot back and forth to open and close the gates. There was no access to the former pier to the public but yes you can make out the old station.

This was brilliant, Malcolm. It would be very interesting to see old maps of the town where all these tracks and sidings were.

Thank you for sharing this footage. I’m a driver for EMR and work the Barton trains regularly. It’s so nice to see the people who worked this line in the past, and the way it was worked.

I was on holiday around these parts just a month ago, these are really nice and interesting parts to be around. I actually camped at Marshland Alpacas which is on the other side of Oxmarsh Lane level crossing. Definitely come back here again in the future!

Marvellous video and footage, thank you for creating and sharing this. The line has changed a lot since the 70s and 80s!

The line from Lowestoft to Ipswich ( was ) , is MUCH more picturesque ........ and ..... the 1960's line from Tiverton to Tiverton Junction was idyllic to walk along on a summer's day ( ? ) .......... DAVE™🛑

Stallingborough where I was a porter then signalman in the 1970's

The railway was falling apart. It was managed decline for eventual privatisation. It needs to be back in government hands and run as a service and not as a profit at all costs, service be damned.

I like that film, its brilliant, I'm from Cleethorpes

Great video, I worked with a lot of those signalmen in the mid-80s. One correction though Malcolm - the ground frames on the Light Railway were not released by the signalman at Pyewipe Road, they were released by the single line key token carried by the traincrew. You can clearly see this on the pull-plates of the release levers at the ground frames where it says (key token), intimating that the key token needs to be placed in the lock on the lever to unlock it.

Fantastic, really informative and some views inside very rarely visited locations. As a signalling historian I have been looking for many years for a photo of the switch panel inside the Bulk Terminal and now here it is! Thanks for taking this footage and sharing it.

Thanks so much, fascinating 👍

Y can't the 08 place the wagons under the hopper

Great video here,one of my favorite train spotting grounds this!!👍👍

Thank you for these videos! I've lived in Immingham for the past 12 years so it's interesting to see what the railways around the area used to look like back in the 80s & 90s as it was completely different down in West Sussex where I was a kid growing up.

Thanks, a nice trip down memory lane. My mum, Betty McKay, is on the film at 30:40!

Brilliant thanks. I could of watched more of this for hours! Just to note, both 60035 and 60037 were both accepted to BR revenue earning traffic in April 1991. . . . I'm off to play trains at Barnetby now (June 1990) :D

anybody know what type of wagons were being loaded with black sand?

Very informative, loved it.

Amazing footage of everyday scenes and the people that made it happen!! Can I ask…what’s the music used at the start and end? Heard it before on one or two other Productions!

❤

Thanks Malcolm - great video.

Loved this . Takes me back to when I lived outside goole .with the docks and all the train yards 👍.

Another great video brings back memory's was at IMM TMD from Feb 1986 till 2022 (what's left of it ! )

Another great film Malcolm, thanks for sharing these with us. A link to a short film of an ilmenite train in model form passing Great Coates Sidings No1 ruclips.net/video/KAjHanDwNXI/видео.htmlsi=OyjILznTCcWhfgc8

Very helpful for my model railway, cheers

Great videos my friend, a real trip down memory lane I remember Grimsby in the early 90’s

31:10 she is stunning the lady in the background is beautiful

Thanks Malcolm great footage, thanks for preserving history, I appreciate beyond belief!

My lords

Thanks for this fascinating video 👍

Excellent film. My interest in railways is quite minimal, but the glimpses of Grimsby and Cleethorpes in the 1980s are enjoyable and nostalgic. Thank you for uploading!

Very interesting film. Nice to see the infrastructure ,docks etc. And that lovely signal box xx

Outstanding piece of work sir, splendid stuff :)

Thanks for uploading this Malcolm. Brings back happy memories when I was a small lad at that time. I know the Depot Manager the late Colin Palmer and he invited me and my Dad one Sunday Morning and it was fantastic visit the Depot to see many First Generation Diesels on site

That brought back memories I worked at the loco from 1986 until 2008 and I saw alot of old workmates, thanks for sharing

What a brilliant, informative and insightful look at this great railway location during happier times. Thanks for sharing this Malcolm.

brilliant

Great video, thanks fir taking the time to film , narratte and post . Fantastic day out for the kids too. 👍👍😀

thanks Malcolm. reminds me of my spotting days in the 1970s and the railtours recently via the loop and to Cleethorpes with the deltic a few weeks ago.

Rubbish

Interesting how it used to be as I was one of the team that de commissioned Immingham East box, the frame was saved for preservation

Thank you once again. I never really got to see the area, but as a young lad was jealous of anyone taking the 45 bus with its destination blind reading ‘Immingham Loco’ to go and work on the trains. Looking forward to part 2!

From Brumby Rd you could often see the pilots clanking back and forth during the week. We called them the mechanical oompah loompahs. 😂😂

Thank you for sharing.

Great Video…very informative really enjoyed it..keep them coming..
