- What happened to Bescot Depot? Last time I visited BS it had an allocation of shunters and quite a few locos in the yard, EWS 66's mainly, but still a working depot. Sad to see what it's become, but some nice activity in the yard for a cold December Sunday morning (4 degrees)

The footage is taken obeying all legal flight restrictions for the area, the category of the drone, and in full compliance of the current CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) regulations for drone usage (Dec-22). The pilot, operator and drone are fully registered with the Civil Aviation Authority.
So sad to see the demise of a depot which used to bustling with numerous classes. brilliant drone work.thank you. I have been visiting the depot since the late 60s to around 2010 when i lost interest due to not much variety.
Yes, it was a great depot back in the 80s with a lot of freight traffic through. It was always worth a trip out from New Street when we visited Brum for the day. Shame. Thanks for watching 👀
Lovely to see BS from a different perspective. Last toured the depot late eighties with RESL. Those were the good old days.
Definitely the 80s were the good old days. Thanks for watching 👀
Fantastic footage that is. It's hard to believe what it used to be and what it is now. In the late 80's I was at college in Coventry and had a travel pass so I'd hit SY and BS on a Sunday. I'd see probably 80 locos. I have been there quite a few times over the last couple of years, sad to see it a shadow of it's former self. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes it's sad whats happened to such a great depot. Thanks for watching 👀
with the exception of the TMD and the old steam shed gone, largely as was, which is rare in this age, but a shadow of her former glory days
Such a shame. I only remember BS as a diesel depot, but always had a few good locos on there
Another excellent video especially for us modellers. Look forward to more rail locations. Your subscriber count should explode soon I should think.👌
Thank you! Have some more locations planned for over Christmas. Thanks for watching!😃
Great footage. One I've passed by many times on the motorway.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 👀
The old depot got dozed within the last five years. Think there was a crew SOP retained but nothing of the old workshops.
Shame. A great depot back in the day
A lot different from the last time i was there. Early 90s with rows of 58s and class 20s.
Same here mate. I couldn't belive the difference
Great footage here, and not a usual view you can get without a drone. Just wondering what drone you use and if there is anything else you need to do apart from getting an operators licence from the CAA. Thanks :)
Thanks. I use a DJI mini 3 pro, sub 250g drone. Need an operators license and pilot ID after taking an online test, which is £5 a year.
I see YVA cable layung wagons next to blue WIA wagons. 😉
I'm not sure what that means lol
Bescot died down after the late 90s I think, Mid 80s to Early 90s was it's heyday
It was an amazing depot back in the 80's
Good video ! Like the incidental music, what’s it called pls ?
it's called 'just breathing' it's part of the RUclips royalty free audio library . Thanks for watching 👀
New Depot???
Looks more like an air-raid shelter
