- LOOKING AT A REAL RAIL DEPOT IN MANCHESTER
Given an amazing opportunity to visit the Train Care Centre in Manchester to find out what and how they deal with all the rolling stock on a daily basis. From cleaning to heavy overhaul this place so huge and a mass of train operation.

Fascinating, my late dad Terry Smith was Shed Manager at Longsight in the 70s until he retired in the mid-80s. Used to visit him there and check out the 86s & 87s when I was a train spotter around 1980. Met one of his BR drivers, Vernon who was a tough WW2 SAS vet, my dad told me one time Vernon was stopped at a station when 2 thugs tried to get into his cab, Vernon threw them both out onto the platform with their tails between their legs looking a little worse for wear.
Superb story to add on this video. Thank you! 🙏
Interesting - A behind the scenes look - Thanks for sharing Gordon 😉😊🚂🚂🚂
Excellent video 👍
I have probably been past Longsight depot many hundreds of times over the years, so it was fascinating to see what happens behind the scenes
Thank you for sharing Gordon. A fascinating insight to what goes on at the depot in Manchester.
Going on a site visit there on 9th august with my rail engineering class I teach
They even have a nice little Gronk!! This would be an ideal railway shed to model in 00!!
There is 2 at Longsight 790 and 887
Considered that myself, you would in a big room. Maybe N gauge would be better.
Excellent Gordon. Thank you 👍
please could you do more from longsight depot and maybe a bit of the wheellathe, well done excellent footage.
Very interesting video, When I'm heading to Manchester Piccadilly I passed it so many times but have no idea what they do inside the depot, thanks for this video Nordrog and thanks to Longsight Depot/Manchester Traincare Depot for showing yourself and us around
Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Super. Glad you enjoyed the videos. All the best!
Great video Gordon, i grew up in Manchester and spent loads of time at Longsight when the 86s and 87s were there and the old diesel shed was open, lots of 40s 37s 25s theee over a weekend. Thanks for doing this shed mate, Newton Heath shed was a good one too
Glad you enjoyed it buddy. Thanks.
The 08's had the nicknames, Gronks, Jocko's and 350's (because of the 350BHP)
It looks like a massive place in which to stable a group of locomotives and their trains!!
great video
Thanks for the visit 👍
Not received my ghost tv keyring yet. Was ordered on 22nd of July. Could you please look into this for me please 👍🏻 👻
It’s on the way 👻
@@railroundup Thank you 👍🏻👻
Excellent
Bet you are pleased to see the new Avanti West Coast Class 805 now in service and the Class 807 to enter service later this year.
do the OLE contact wires go into and through the Shed ?
What caused the quacking at the end of the video?
It’s the class 08 👍
That noise was caused by a spirax valve, which forces moisture out of the air braking system
