I loved the sight and sound of the of the '50. As a schoolboy in Carlisle during the 1970's I enjoyed watching them hauling the express trains before electrification, often double headed.
Excellent video this was one of my stomping grounds in the late 70’s into 80’s years ago you could spot all night.always said the fast line at Doncaster is the number 1 .
Thanks a lot as always mate, love me some 119 as well! I believe the 465 that was being towed out by the 66 had been there for repairs but not sure about the two ends that have been parked there a while.
Cheers Mike, really glad to know you enjoyed it, I know it’s not my usual kind of video. It’s great up there, even better when it’s not in a hurricane!
Excellent program and a friendly narrator, a good yorkshire lad in fact. I grew up in Huddersfield and in the sixties was often found on station platforms in Leeds, Doncaster and York with my trainspotting book. Now live in Winnipeg, Canada and your program brings back lovely peaceful memories. I was over in UK in Feb. and March this year but now back in Winnipeg where it is minus twenty at night and we are waiting for spring. your lovely film helps me feel warm inside. cheers, peter carlyle-gordge.
Thanks a lot for the lovely comment Peter, I’m really glad you enjoyed it and it can bring you a bit of nostalgia, I bet a lot has changed since your days trainspotting over here. I suddenly don’t feel quite so bad about our weather hearing how bad it is over there haha. All the best.
Hi Andrew, congratulations you won the 1000 subscriber giveaway! It's been announced in the latest Diggle Diaries. If you could send me your address in an email to digglejunction@gmail.com i'll get the Traction 2022 DVD posted out to you asap! Hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
Cheers Vincent, really appreciate that as the editing took a long time for this one as you can imagine. I figured since it would be such a long video/stint, the bingo would keeps things a little more interesting 👍🏻
Great effort, well done! When you first mentioned doing the 24 hour stint I thought you were going to stream live for a day (and night!) - you should've done & put us all through the pain! 🤣
Haha I wouldn’t put you guys through that 😂 my data plan would scream at the thought! I was hoping to livestream for an hour or two on the day but the wind was so bad it wasn’t really possible. Fingers crossed for next time I can drag you guys along.
Just watched your 24 hrs in Doncaster Good on ya... the weather and authorities didn't help but you did it well done. Love Diggle diaries Cheers and thank you
The DB 67 was there earlier in the night! Where did you find to stable for the 4 hour layover? Those 66's of yours are like our NR class here in Australia, with a fleet of over 100 they pop up everywhere. Top and tail will do me for doubles. Well done lad, I did enjoy it!!!!!
Can’t believe I didn’t think about it for the bingo sooner haha. I couldn’t get on the car park so tried the road bridges either end of the station, they were a bit sketchy so I went for a coffee and hung around waiting. Not fun at that time. Yep sounds very similar to the NR, there’s around 500 66’s on our network so you’re lucky to get anything but! Cheers for the comment mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍
That was a fantastic video and I appreciate the effort in making and editing it ..👏👏👏 I trust the other half was helping get the numbers ..!!!😂thx look fwd to the next one at diggle 👍
Haha for about 15 minutes before she got bored and went shopping 😂 should be back to normal programming at Diggle with March Part 2 in a week or two. Cheers mate.
@@DiggleJunction yes first couple of weeks were with all the engineers trains but now can see a lot of orange figures dotted about best wishes with the great channel
Cheers Ron, glad you enjoyed the bingo, thought it would be a little bit of fun for a special episode. Was gutted I couldn’t stay, I missed at least 10 freights!
insane video im from doncaster and didnt know how many loco run that late at night and the first sleep had Underground eric on your the GBRF driver driving it
Yeah it gets super busy at night! I think I missed something like 10-12 freights in those few hours I wasn’t on the platform too. Thanks for the comment mate.
Brilliant as always Luke 😊 sorry I didn’t get there to meet you. I’ll email you tomo as I’m coming up the end of next week for a week or so filming trains etc so hopefully we can catch up! Arrange a southern trip for you 😊
We’ll catch each other eventually mate haha. A southern tour needs to be done at some point. Perhaps we can find somewhere down there to do another 24 hours!
I have just watched your 24 hours at Doncaster. The video is great, 12 hours train spotting is hard work but 24 hours is amazing. After speaking to you at Doncaster and wishing you good on being able to stay for 24 hours. I was very surprised by how freight still comes through at that time
Thanks a lot mate, it was definitely tougher than I expected but really enjoyed it. There’s probably more freight over night than in the day, was great to meet you over there pal. Glad you enjoyed the outcome 👍
Your channel is without doubt my favourite on RUclips. Love the intros, the captions and the drone shots make it top drawer. And this 24 hour one is amazing though you must be mad ha, ha! Looking forward to the next one 😀
Thank you so much Andy, that’s a really great thing to hear and means a lot. Lots of the station staff certainly thought I was mad when they came into work the next day and I was still there haha.
Congratulations on reaching your first target 👍 Monetisation is the way ahead 😎 PS would you consider slowing down the scrolling text at the beginning for some of us old gits please? 😃
Many Thanks Leonard! Haha I suppose it is, i've set monetisation just for what was already there pre-1000 so it's not more invasive for you guys. I don't do this for the money so what little I make will be invested back in 👍 The intro crawl is usually a bit slower but I had to speed it for the clip I had this time which has made it a little too fast, i'll keep this in mind for future though thanks!
@@DiggleJunction Use the money to get some Rode microphones, you won't regret it 👍 You already have the best visuals, if you get the best audios too you will kill the competition 😎 And any spare cash could pay for a Travelodge when the arses kick you off the station 😎
@@Leonard_Smith I normally use a Rode shotgun mic, unfortunately I didn't have it whilst in Donny (or the past couple of months) as it's been back to Rode twice as even in a slight breeze it's been breaking up and dropping audio. I've just received a full replacement so hopefully going forward the videos will be back to top audio 👍Fingers crossed anyway!
@@DiggleJunction I have seen a few YT content providers mentioning they have had problems with Rode recently, I wonder if they have problems in manufacturing? Anyway, these are minor niggles and would never stop me watching your video to the very end 👍 I can always mute it if I had a problem 🤣🤣
Thanks again for keeping me company mate. Hope your pics came out well, thankfully no wind on pictures haha. Was by far the hardest video I’ve had to edit yet with the bingo sheet and 66 counter.
Nice one doing a full 24 hour stint, I'd sleep for two days after doing that haha and that's something I can get behind, Out with the new, in with the old
Great Video, very entertaining and interesting - another master stroke for the channel - looked like a pretty decent pint too, I've enjoyed one or two in there whist watching the trains ;)
@@DiggleJunction yeah 8pm is a little early, but I'm not usually there that late so it doesn't affect me too much in that respect, have you decided on your next 24hr filmathon yet? 😉
Some great stuff, i dont get out as much as I used to, due to Mobility problems. So it great to see whats going on. Acton Bridge was good, even got to see our Train running (Varamis Rails 321 334). Keep up the good work.
That’s sad to hear Alan, glad my videos can at least keep you up to date. My late Grandad started to not be able to get out and he found railcam to be a real bonus so he could still “spot”, if the sounds like something you would enjoy. Great to see Varamis running, the more mail by rail the better!
great video nice variety loved the bingo card idea thanks for all you do, you answered my question can you stay on the station as I am planning a 3-day trip to Doncaster soon
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 yeah you can’t stay overnight. You could try putting your car in the multi storey and looking down over the line if you’re driving. Think I’ll do that next time.
Great video, I got to do a bit of spotting in Doncaster the other week for the first time in years when I went to do an RMT course, forgot how good it was for spotting. Great effort doing 24 hours 👍
Absolutely superb. Great content and like you said bonus 50! Big question is where did you go when you were kicked out of the station. Donny isn't so nice at night. Keep up the good work. Maybe meet up soon as I'm only in Ashton. 😉👍
Cheers mate and yeah that would be good since you’re so close! I tried the road bridges either side of the station but neither were decent so ended up going to maccies for a coffee and hung around basically lol. Not much going on around there at that time.
Excellent video, looks like some of the trees may of been cut down in the triangle towards the end of your video. Freight trains travelling on this route are often missed when viewed from the station.
Thanks David! You’re right I noticed virtually everything on the triangle island had been taken down since I last went. Makes a couple of spots a bit more viable to catch everything going into Roberts Rd. and up that way.
Well done. Was wondering if you was able to stay on the Station when it closed, however you did tell us. How did you kill the hours between 12.30 & 4.00 am ? The Pint look good as well
Yeah think I just got unlucky, the manager in the day said he would have let me stay but ah well. I went to the road bridges but they felt really sketchy so I went for a coffee, dropped a few heavy bits from my bag at the hotel my missus was staying in and milled around outside the station. Pint was so good I thought I better have 2 or 3 to make sure ha. Cheers Douglas.
Thanks a lot mate, there ended up not being enough footage before everything stopped so I’m going to do a combined video for either side of the closure. Pity the timing didn’t work out better.
Got it in one haha. I went over to the hotel my missus was staying in too to empty some stuff out of my bag. Bit sketchy at night around the station tbh.
@@DiggleJunction Yea, its VERY sketchy around Donny at night, especially around the Market place... used to work in Donny regularly, overnighted in my lorry there a few times! I personally wouldnt have travelled there by train, i would have gone in the car, at laest that way you could have got yer head down for a couple of hours!
Thanks a lot mate. Geographically Felixstowe is a little north of London but I did miss the unit move to Slade Green so you’re right I should have got an extra tick 👍🏻 my mind was a bit frazzled by that point I think ha.
@@DiggleJunction Oh…. of course it is ! My geography of England is pretty rubbish! Slade Green yes also London Gateway is pretty much level with London too.
Thanks a lot Howard, glad you’re enjoying them. I tried to get up on the car park but wasn’t allowed so tried both road bridges so I could keep filming, one was too high and the area around the other was way too sketchy so I dropped some stuff out of my bag at the hotel my missus was staying at, got a coffee at a 24 hour McDonald’s and hung around near the station lol.
Cheers Albie, I need to go back through it and check. I was trying not to count individual loco’s I’d seen more than once so was tough to keep track. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Pretty much par for the course around Donny now sadly. I at least expected more 70’s. Hopefully a trip to Barnetby next time will give us some more variety.
Hey Dan, I try and reply to everyone mate even on the older vids. I can’t remember exactly, I think it had some issues and had been to Wabtec for some refurb work.
![Coheed and Cambria - Searching for Tomorrow [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hDsYGLbmadg/mqdefault.jpg)

I loved the sight and sound of the of the '50. As a schoolboy in Carlisle during the 1970's I enjoyed watching them hauling the express trains before electrification, often double headed.
That must have been something else seeing them run regularly mate, bet Carlisle was fantastic back then.
Excellent video this was one of my stomping grounds in the late 70’s into 80’s years ago you could spot all night.always said the fast line at Doncaster is the number 1 .
Completely agree mate, childhood haunt of mine too I really miss the HST’s blasting through the fasts. Cheers for the comment 👍🏻
Fantastic video! Wow 24 whole hours! Excellent variety aswell! More 465s.. wonder what theyre doing with them all!
And 91119 my favourite haha
Thanks a lot as always mate, love me some 119 as well! I believe the 465 that was being towed out by the 66 had been there for repairs but not sure about the two ends that have been parked there a while.
Well done, for such an act of dedication
Cheers Tim, had a great time doing it to be honest 👍 thanks for the comment.
Thanks for putting the hours in for us Luke. This has been a super accompaniment for my exercise bike session!
Cheers John, it was my pleasure (for the first few hours at least ha). Glad it gave you something to keep pedalling too!
Your captions are full on with the the picture of the loco concerned. An excellent idea. John
Cheers mate, glad you like them because they take a lot of effort to edit and make transparent for the vids so that’s good to hear.
You'r right, you are quite mad, but thank you (and your good lady for putting up with you).
Haha cheers mate, think it was worth it in the end 👍 she wouldn’t agree I don’t think!
Well done! Massive effort on your part! Hope you had a good sleep when you got home!😃
Cheers mate, sleep started in the car on the way home haha.
Fantastic love the shots and info
Cheers Mike, thanks a lot!
Credit to you for the effort! Thanks!
Cheers mate 👍
Congratulations, great video.
Thanks a lot mate, really glad you enjoyed it I know it’s a bit long for most 👍
Well done Luke. Enjoyed it very much. What a view from the car park.
Cheers Mike, really glad to know you enjoyed it, I know it’s not my usual kind of video. It’s great up there, even better when it’s not in a hurricane!
I thought I had missed it! Well done Mr Diggle, and I loved the bingo game to go with it.

Well done 👍I've done 1 24 hour stint in the 90's near Monk Fryston when you had many MGRs to keep you company
I bet that was something else back then mate. You will have got probably double or triple the amount I did.

Thanks a lot mate 👍🏻
Lol .. got me and my buddy at 9.30 sat on bench .. I was over from Crewe for a few hours 😁
Haha star of the show! I’ll have to go back through and look out for you Dave. Glad to have caught you on there 👍
The filming itself is a tremendous effort and the editing is top notch. Also the bingo card challenge is an excellent idea.
Cheers Vincent, really appreciate that as the editing took a long time for this one as you can imagine. I figured since it would be such a long video/stint, the bingo would keeps things a little more interesting 👍🏻
Great Video Luke!! Doncaster is always a great station to film at!!
Cheers mate, Donny never lets you down! Another 24 hour vid coming soon at Stafford.

1st time I've ever seen a 50 at Donny. Well done mate.
Thanks a lot pal, was a major highlight for me that day!
Thanks for the marathon effort Luke, realy enjoyed it. The bingo card was a bit of fun. Hope you are on your way to the 5K subs mark.
Cheers Bill! I thought the bingo sheet might just add a bit of fun to keep things interesting. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks
Thanks so much for this! Way too kind, it will be invested back into the channel in some way to make the videos better. Cheers 👍
Hearty Well Done
Thanks a lot mate!

It’s coming up quicker than I imagined, will have to get my thinking cap on!
overall i counted 33 66s btw but great vid
Cheers Albie, I need to go back through it and check. I was trying not to count individual loco’s I’d seen more than once so was tough to keep track. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
oh streams over
They should be hopefully running constantly when I can get a server sorted 👍🏻
Hi
Hi Evie 👍🏻
Shame that there were so many Class 66
Pretty much par for the course around Donny now sadly. I at least expected more 70’s. Hopefully a trip to Barnetby next time will give us some more variety.
Not sure if your going to reply back to me, but why is there one of my WMR trains behind the 66 15:08
Hey Dan, I try and reply to everyone mate even on the older vids. I can’t remember exactly, I think it had some issues and had been to Wabtec for some refurb work.
@@DiggleJunction ohh ok, thanks mate
