Worked at the site of Mansfield wood house when it was a street furniture lamppost firm called Hemcol ltd the stone building was the shot blaster area which then went to the spray painting area Glad the robin hood line was made possible remember the daily coal trains going up and down this line ... Fond memory's
The shot of the Austerity shows it entering Annesley Tunnel on the G.C. line. The higher, and shorter one, bored by the Midland Railway and resurrected for the Robin Hood line, is Kirkby Tunnel. Both cut through Robin Hood Hills.
Nice video. Not sure about back when central ran the route, but now, the services aren't terminated at Woodhouse if the worksop is late. At Woodhouse there is 1 train to worksop an hour and 2 to Nottingham.
