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.

some serious tractor action around the tameside Oldham area last year wow I heard a few of these tractors but didn't see them as I was in Stalybridge center! Nice video as who don't like a video of one of the biggest surviving fleet of 1960s uk built most successful locomotives ever built that's still in use on the mainline today 60 odd years on!!! 🥰

Thanks for this, greqt to see so many 37's, it's good to know these are still in service, unlike the 60's which I have always thought received some bad press when Wisconsin took over, which presumbly helped to advance their purchase of GM products!

Great stuff, as usual. The best bits for me were the 57s passing through my favourite view; the ducklings on the canal in the intro 😂...and memories of Long Eaton station, first used to clear my 44s at Toton, and a few years later to get to the inaugural Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington.

I don’t think so mate, seems like the opposite is happening now with more and more being brought back. No new 66’s can be ordered due to emissions now and new locos are so expensive this seems like a better option.

Thanks very much, they’re about 35 years old so not too old compared to a lot of the locos out and about. They’re not tremendously economical in all honesty which was likely the reason EWS at the time sidelined them.
