Great day out Paul, fantastic content and very informative. Some great finds within the undergrowth. Such a shame the goods shed was demolished. Thank you for sharing 😊👍
This is a fascinating series with some wonderful things to see, you can feel the history in those coal drops. I have to say that I have never heard anyone so excited when finding some insulators!!!! The bacon rolls looked good, but two would have been better👍
It’s really sad to see all abandoned sites today. I guess you have to think on their angles. Thank you for the video, Paul. See you on the next. 🇬🇧👍🙂🇺🇸
That bacon butty looked really nice. You should invest ins some foldable step ladders. Then NO fence cal stop you - LOL. Idea... (all the train nerds are going to hate this). Turn the Woodhead tunnel into a buses only route as an alternative way of getting across the Penines, especially during winter. But NO cars, too many idiots would have accidents and breakdowns.
Hi Mark. Glad you're enjoying them. What do you mean full videos? I think there's 4 parts/episodes of this section of line that make up the series so far :)
@@WobblyRunner oh I'm crazy and would watch the entire 2 or 3 hour long series as one video. I'm finding myself accidently watching videos out of order now.
Great video Paul, good to see the drops being put to good use. Very few remain these days. Was sad to see the big ones in York between the station and the NRM have recently been demolished
I believe the tall building on the corner was the coal office, where local distributors ("coal men") would purchase coal and coke from the railway, and sell it by the sack to houses. Coal drops gained a certain notoriety, as coal fell from wagons into horse drawn carts. Horses were supposed to be taken out of the shafts to perform this operation, but were frequently left in, resulting in the falling weight lifting them physically and damaging the animal. Laws were passed to stop this, but it probably only died out with the coming of the motor truck, of which many were surplus after WW1. These formed the basis of many businesses, including bus companies and hauliers.
Those who don't know the truth may believe the line was closed because of the loss of coal traffic. However, it was the mainline between Sheffield and Manchester, and electrified The maStandedge route between Leeds and Manchester and be still open. A huge amount is being soen😢t on the Transpennine Route The Hope Valley Line is a pleaant scenic route, equivalent to the Calder Valley Line, but
Thx for taking us along; appreciated, but now I'm gagging for a bacon sarnie 😂👍🏿
😄 I could eat another one too

Great video again hope you enjoyed your bacon sarnie looking forward to your next adventure.
Cheers Chris.
It was delicious. 😄
What a great day out that was…and captured for posterity! Can’t wait for the next instalments which get windier and wilder!
PS. are you developing a new catchphrase?…. ‘Can you see’ 😊
I'd love that sarnie again this morning. We should have built it into the day 😄

Ladders great idea 😄. As long as they fit in my rucksack.
It's a shame they can't open it as a railway. Something like the shuttle.
Is it possible to do the full videos too? I find myself binge watching these all.

Oh no, I didn't realise they'd been demolished in York.
@@WobblyRunner ironically it may actually be something to do with the museum

Great info 👍
I suppose coal office makes sense next to the coal drops 🙂
why was that goods shed demolished, it seemed a usable building !
I'd love to know. I suspect the land is earmarked for something else.
Those are some darn tasty looking sandwiches. Now I'm hungry! 🥪
😄 They were nice. I'd happily go out of my way for another
Julie’s cafe. Awesome!
By ekk them belly busters looked tasty 😋
Beautiful 😁
