RMweb Premium Richard E Posted March 27, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2013 Actually it is 50 years ago today, Wednesday, according to the BBC. If implemented in full there would have been no rail network in Scotland and nothing west of Bristol. As an example Melrose station in Scotland has been beautifully restored as a restaurant but it now sits on the edge of a bypass instead of alongside a railway line.

pH Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) April 7 1963 - my first visit to Eastfield shed in Glasgow. I don't have detailed notes, only a few recollections. I saw engines from classes J35/36/37/38/39 - the only time I managed that. In fact the J35 and the J39s were the only ones I ever saw. On the way to Eastfield from the south side of Glasgow, I saw Jubilee 45704 backing out of Central, having brought in a special bringing back supporters from the England-Scotland football international (remember them?). Eastfield shed was a collection point for withdrawn engines being taken into the Glasgow works for scrapping. Some of those present: -Jubilees 45713 of Bank Hall and 45724 of Nuneaton - CR Pickersgill 0-6-0 57653 of Kingmoor - J35 64527 of Bathgate - J39s 64790 of Thornton, 64814/64869/64897/64929/64924 of Tweedmouth, 64910 of Heaton - J36 65239 (withdrawn over 2 years previously) - WD 2-8-0 90060 of Polmadie - WD 2-10-0 90759 of Grangemouth I would go back to Eastfield many times over the next few years.

Rail-Online Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 John, Was Wath Diesel depot still open in 1971 or were the diesels stabled at the electric depot? Tony 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I would think they were at the electric depot, which seemed to have a shed for maintenance of diesels, though I never saw any electrics having maintenance done there, only being stabled.

Rail-Online Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Jeff, Yes I remeber the electric depot about 1975 but I cannot recall ever seeing 15 Main Line diesels there plus shunters. With the long row of Tommies as well it must have been crowded! The seperate Diesel depot had closed by the mid 1970s but it might just have been still in use in 1971.

coachmann Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 On this day in history, 2nd May 1959, the little push-pull train ceased running from Guide Bridge via Park Bridge up to Oldham. It was sad because only four years earlier at nearly the same time the Oldham-Greenfield-Delph push-pull finished and the only remaining steam passenger services through Oldham were peak hour trains on the Manchester - Rochdale loop. I made the most of them while commuting 5½ days a week into Manc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnw1 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 John, Was Wath Diesel depot still open in 1971 or were the diesels stabled at the electric depot? Tony Hi Tony Sorry missed this question. I first visited Wath around 1969 and I only ever visited the electric depot and it always had a fair number of diesels stabled there. When the diesel shed stopped being used I do not know. You may be interested in this shot of the electric depot and the associated caption which sums up my knowledge. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/8702940283/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
