The grain side of Hoo yard several lanes were dedicated "breaker" lines, all the Portsmouth express EMU's were broken up right there in 74 save six which are still doing service as rail carriers for NR, the old Medway docks was the areas "cripple" yard where broken stuff was dragged to be fixed, cobbled with another broken stuff or pulled apart. It was quite a thing to get a train down to the docks from Rochester station divedown as back then the navy wouldn't allow traffic through the naval base hence why BR had to build the quite steep divedown from the main line.
A fairly good video... I used to do various delivery jobs on to Sheppy and if i ever got the chance during a break or passed something interesting rail related i would stop and take photos... you need to give us a better look at things you point out, as most things that you pointed out was just a blink of the eye look, you can't even go back and try to freeze the frame as you were too quick
In the 70's I was often found in the cab of my uncle's 33 based at Hoo as he was the oddjobman picking up the various freights all over Sheppey. If my old man was also working at the signalbox at Hoo as relief he would drive down to do the entry/exits of the Ford/Ridham dock trains with father and uncle chewing the day away over flask tea and copious rollies, old 33 chuntering away to itself behind or if it was raining we would squeeze in to the little hut that served as the signalbox for the dock line. I remember quite well the couple weeks his old boiler was down at Eastleigh and they lent him a 73 man he hated that thing off the juice, I learned a LOT of interesting swear words that summer.
Yes completely agree! I'm doing it all off my Samsung s21 at the moment eventually that will be the ambition to use a proper camera for videos! Glad you enjoyed the content and checkout what else I have
Too much face, not enough content. Speech also seems a nervous ramble. Content is good but focus on the content not you. A voice over would be fine with lots of views.

Great video I've walked that line many times. It was ropey I'm surprised the trains didn't de rail
Thanks man! Yeah I was thinking that to be fair, must have had to go really slow!

As others have said, we came to see the line, not you lol. 😂. If you had the rear camera on all would have been good! Cheers

Love hearing about this DD, keep it coming!
Interesting content. You need a wider angle lens so we can see more of the surroundings as well as you!
See Paul Whitewick videos as good practice.
