LOOKING AT A REAL RAIL DEPOT IN MANCHESTER

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.

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

[@Madonsteamrailways]

They even have a nice little Gronk!! This would be an ideal railway shed to model in 00!!

[@peterconroy615]

There is 2 at Longsight 790 and 887

[@vwgolf9826]

Considered that myself, you would in a big room. Maybe N gauge would be better.

The 08's had the nicknames, Gronks, Jocko's and 350's (because of the 350BHP)

[@Madonsteamrailways]

It looks like a massive place in which to stable a group of locomotives and their trains!!

[@keithmawson3773]

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.

[@johnson_street_IEMD]

do the OLE contact wires go into and through the Shed ?

[@DavidNewmanDr]

What caused the quacking at the end of the video?

[@railroundup]

It’s the class 08 👍

[@Thornaby37]

That noise was caused by a spirax valve, which forces moisture out of the air braking system
