Diggle Diaries: An attempt to film all daylight running freight and interesting workings from Diggle Junction. Situated on the picturesque Trans-Pennine, Manchester to Huddersfield and Leeds route, Diggle Jn lies at the top of a steep incline leading into Standedge Tunnel. Providing beautiful scenery, varied freight and trains working hard up the hill, there aren’t many better places for a bit of trainspotting.

Oh Mr Diggle this was up to your usual top drawer standard. But in addition I also like your relaxed style of talking to camera. You really do connect with your audience and I appreciate that too. Thank you

Great work again Luke, another excellent video! I really like the imagination GBRF are using for the 69 liveries, and the details they get right like the style of nameplate on the 'Western'! Looking forward to the Eastleigh tour!

Cheers Keith, yeah totally agree there it’s great to see and 009 was a pleasant surprise to be honest, it’s very nice in person in my opinion.

Thanks a lot Syd, it’s a massive shame, hopefully they come in useful for someone and don’t end up oversees. A GBRF 68 in one of their special liveries would be pretty cool I reckon.

mavelous Luke as always great content i remember going to guide bridge in the 80s and seeing the class 76s stabled in the sidings .caught the steamer on your web cam as i missed it in real time also missed the class40 but will catch that on your next Diggle Diaries how good did the 37 sound and nice to see the 68s back where they belong .how many classes of loco can i mention lol

@DiggleJunction 11 күн бұрын

Thanks as always mate, so much to mention in this one and the next Diaries has got even more highlights, can’t wait for you to see it. It’s a shame the Woodhead route didn’t last, would be very useful to have today over to Sheff!

Looking forward to the episode with the Class 40 tour, I think it may well be D213 Andania which was the loco my Grandfather drove on his last day for LMS in the late 60"s, we have a photo taken of him leaning out of the cab on his last day and recently LSL were kind enough to let us recreate the shot at Crewe when Andania returned from her last Whistling Highlander tour.

@DiggleJunction 18 күн бұрын

It certainly was Andania mate, gorgeous loco. What a lucky man your Grandad was to pilot such a beast in its heyday. You’ll have to send over that pic for me to see! Email address is in the description of the video, would love to see that mate 👍🏻

Cheers pal, Decoy is the name of the yard over in Donny. I believe it’s a reference to what that area was used for during the Second World War.

Are westerns not typically a Br blue colour? Why's that 69 red

@DiggleJunction 18 күн бұрын

They were originally a few random colours like green and red, even orange and a weird off white colour until BR blue came in and they were all painted.

It's so sad to see the skeleton remains of guide bridge compared to the 70's 😒😒

@DiggleJunction 18 күн бұрын

I’ve seen old maps of it and it is a shell. Seems to be on an upward trajectory though and growing more and more with Freightliners wagon shops.

@edwinfitchett6033 18 күн бұрын

Personally I dislike the idea of painting a class 69 in mock maroon and using the name and identity of a sadly long lost loco . The paint scheme is ok BUT not using the fake identity 👎

@DiggleJunction 18 күн бұрын

Totally understandable mate, don’t think it’ll be everyone’s cuppa tea. I will say the colour does look lovely in person.
