This might be late right now but I am having a period of thought of my past and having worked on the depot for 28 years I have found this video awe inspiring and saddening at the same time but thanks for putting it right here. My memories have come flooding back. Great. Phil Hodgkiss

Sooooooooo many childhood memories, very sad.

Oh my God, this is the most haunting footage I've ever seen. I used to work out of the control tower doing Signalling maintenance from Treeton Junction to Shepcote Lane and beyond betweeen 1982 and 1986. My dad was a driver based at Tinsley for many, many years. The footage of the main offices, decrepid was a heart jerker as that's where I used to collect my wages each week. Thanks for the footage, brought back lots of memories. Chris, alias mutt40106.

I used to mess about in them signal towers when they were demolishing it all. I still walk up and down it now ,I walked it yesterday reliving my youth. Good childhood memories from here ❤️❤️❤️

The fate that befell Tinsley Traction Maintenance Depot was nothing short of a scandal. It is a testament to the present society and the direction of this country as to what replaced it. Interesting video but very sad what it portrayed, Tinsley went the same way as my old depot, Wath, they were the days!

I remember the 2p bus ride! One day, after visiting the depot me and my friends, all about 17 y/o went into the 3 Mags for a beer and we were not welcome! Almost beaten up by some local new romantics on the way back to Sheffield! Oh happy memories, we also went to the open day in (I think) June 1980.

this is surely one of the best vids on youtube,had it in my favs for 10 months now,

I remember one of the last open days at Tinsley in 1992 sad to see it all just rubble, mind you my two local rail depots have suffered the same fate, Swindon works & Westbury!!! Good times.

always enjoyed visiting Tinsley...

as you can see from my youtube name ,i have a big facination for this depot and the hump yard,thanks very much for uploading this vid,

the hours of fun i used to have here when i was younger good old days.i still go down hunting with my harris hawk

I was at that open day too. I was almost hit on the head by a wagon as they did a re-railing demonstration! No Health & safety back then!

reminds me cabaret voltare music. brilliant video very atmospheric.

Fantastic work, excellent footage and put together so well with the good times then the rundown to the site as it's gradually erased. The music was very fitting too, really liked the first piece as it seemed to remind me of "Threads" for some reason. Luckily I still have 3 depots nearby but all are shadows of their former selves and not worth a visit any more :(

I just have to give you top marks for that, You certainly created the right atmosphere to compliment your video shots. Such a crying shame though to see the the final results of what was once a very busy place.... Sometimes in life don't you just hate progress? Excellent video. 5*

Chris, Many thanks for your comments, i too spent a lot of time there and was heartbroken when it was closed. Many fond memories from my childhood now very sadly gone! All the best. Nick

BRILLIANT VIDEO,VERY HAUNTING.

@5786Dan Thank you, I think it is called "The Wire" from a chap called David Sylvian. Cheers

great vid shame its all gone

yes why does life have to chang all the good things are gone what do we have now crappy plastic! i i rememeber the rail tour from london to tinsley yard all those twenties lined up back in 79 i mean look at stratford they have crucified one of the greatest loco depots for a lousey athletics stadium !! heart breaking !!Anyway nice but sad vid.

Quite creepy and sad to see such a rather short lived yard disappear........Mark

@5786Dan Hi, Ive been looking in my vast collection of music and think its been titled wrong as i did a search for the lyrics and came up with "Chain music" Its a collaboration with Ryuchi sakamoto.

Was this footage taken 19993 or 4 - thanks

i cant say im a fan of the very annoying and ear piercing soundtrack had to mute it for my own sanity.
