Great to see the works reopen. I visited it a few times in the late 80s when MC metals occupied a part of the yard. The works were a lot bigger then . Tesco took over a big part of the site. ZH.
I live close to the works and heard the train horns....couldn't quite work out why...but now I know.....thanks for the upload.....😊
Great to see the yard back in action a again. I've been hoping it would reopen.
Nice video. Great to see the works with a little bit of life again.
I used to play in the remains of the NCL depot that Costco and Tesco now occupy!
Interesting - Great to see it come back into use :)
Brilliant video.
Thanks 👍
i used to work Sighthill box in the late 80s, Sunday lateshift was a good shift 1600 -2200, open for class 37 loco plus 1 set of ECS {303 or 311} Shields Depot and St Rollix
Great video!!
Thanks! 👍
Viewed from the Tesco car park , I think also there is a good view point the other side on an industrial estate . The first of many . I very useful asset .
Great video :)
Thank You 👍
The works used to have direct access in from the Gartcosh line but this has been removed. So trains from the Gartcosh direction have to go almost all the way to Springburn before reversing onto the siding on the west side of the Springburn-Gartcosh line and using the headshunt to reverse into the yard. I was a wee bit baffled as to where the shot at 0.39 was! I didn't realise the direct connection towards Gartcosh had been removed (although I should have because you can see it on this recent video by Mick Lewis - ruclips.net/video/kbwqmJvSxvs/видео.html ). Thanks for a video of what will always remain (sadly) a rare scene.
never seen a train on they tracks before
Interesting train - not seen that before!
Think it could be used for electrification/wiring, not something I recall seeing around before
@@GJ37425 correct, built be Alstom I believe, it's limited to 35mph.
Built by SVI in Italy. Owned and operated by Alstom in Italy before being moved to Alstom UK where it was used exclusively in Scotland for the Edinburgh to Glasgow (EGIP), Shotts (H2MEP) and Stirling/Dunblane (SDA) electrification projects. Laid up in November 2018 at Polmadie as there was not enough work for it and now headed back to Italy.
Too efficient for the UK!
Interesting machinery. I guess NR need to keep these branches open. Even though rarely used.
@@Fougasse67 Was it not used on the new East Kilbride and Barrhead electrification projects then?
So is Glasgow works finally going to get some action after 5 years of nothing
Great video and is that next to the tesco car park
Thank you, yeah it's just next to the car park at Tesco's
Is that down beside ikea?
Costco I think.
Beside the car park at Tesco & Costco
No. This is Springburn works, the line in the background on the early shot of it in the undergrowth is the Springburn to Cumbetnauld and Springburn to High Street lines. There is a large Tesco and Costco on Springburn Road that is next to the works.
