I hope you enjoy my version of a fantastic Keighley & Wvlr Diesel Gala with Jack Allen Trainspotter. I wanted to do it a bit differently from the normal running ones. Unfortunately, I left early as I was struggling. So I missed out on seeing 37250 running.

Great to catch the last coal train Pete. It stopped at Chesterfield to pick up our Managing Director so you were in the right place at the right time. Sad day nonetheless. Coal is King 👍🏻
@benGBRf cheers Ben. Definitely was in the right place mate. But not as good as you was you star....
@donnypete Thanks Pete. You are too kind
! ! ! Nice video. Super ! ! !
Great video Pete, all those specials around your way keeping you on your toes mate. Thanks for sharing Pete, take care and best regards, Colin.
The original reason for building railways has died, now of course it's people but back in the 1800s it was to shift coal, and then they noted that people wanted to have a go too and get to another town etc.
Really enjoyed the shed at Goole. Some nice architectural shots
@stevenashton8782 Thanks Steven. It's still holding on to some great features 👌
Great quality video again Pete thank you
@@burtonupontrentrailwaystod8589 Many thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it
Great Train ASMR
a nice tour around the stations there Pete. Thanks very much indeed, the G.W.R. was a nice surprise, it certainly was a long way from home.
@@johnhenfrey5936 cheers mate 👍
A really entertaining video Pete. Just out of interest the Class 66 at Goole to Ferrybridge. Was that routed passing Drax and Knottingley on the old L & Y branch . Not many trains on that line these days.
@44662dc Thanks Mate 😊 I appreciate that. Yes the 66 did go on the old L&Y
fantastic video Pete loved it some great footage there matey loved the kettles looked fabulous rattling through take care matey a t b Syd👍🦮
@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 Many thanks, Syd. Glad you enjoyed it mate
Wish I was there 😢
@yorkshirerailwayspotter9848 oh dear 😳
Lovely video again, I like the new places you visited plus lots of different type of locos. The western region steamer wasn't half shifting. Great shot of that.
@ernestbailey9194 Thanks, Ernest. Oh it was on a mission that Clun Castle. It's a beast of a machine that. I've seen it loads of times now and it never fails to impress. Shame I locked up filming Tangmere!!!!
No sound but excellent viewing. 4 locations plenty of good catches. My nemesis 331001 I will get you in September. Thanks Pete.
@tomward3656 No sound?? There should be mate. Just watched it myself. Glad you enjoyed it still Tom.
Sounds back on. Even better. 😊😊
Nice ❤❤
@woodysmainline cheers Leo. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier
@@donnypetedon’t worry about it, there wasn’t alot anyways
Great video pete nice to see some old thrashers
@@ianhardman9263 cheers Ian. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic catches at Doncaster Pete, and a truly great video all round mate. The Hoovers were great and the 47 Thunderbird as well.Looks like RHTT is going to start early this year. Thanks for sharing mate and i hope you've had a good weekend, Cheers, Colin.
Amazing! Beatiuful video, greetings from Asturias 👋⬆️🚂
At 9.26 you mention 68008, but this is 69008.
@ook2763 yes I did. It was an error. Tbh I didn't realise until after I'd uploaded it
Nice video Pete :)
@@SimonTog Cheers Simon
The last Government ruined everything with privatization , so no new Nuclear power stations .... it would be a very good idea , given the unstable state of the world and also that no wind power is generated on still days, to Keep our two remaining Coal Fired Power Stations in excellent order and on standby to burn British sourced coal from British mines when needed . Re opening Kellingley would be sensible, plus the new one in Cumbria would be useful . Sorry, thanks for a good video Donny.☺☺☺☺
Environmental cobblers, that's what. 👍
Make those boxes Sorry reliving my 20s
beautiful a nice video pete
@calebmumby5803 thanks mate 👍 Glad you enjoyed it
Wish I was there 😢
It’s clever calling Rodney Dave 😊
@IanBlack66 yeah, someone has a good sense of humour lol
Absolutely top Loco’s at Donny today Pete. Outside chance I could be back next Thursday, fingers crossed, thanks a lot Pete.
@johnhenfrey5936 cheers John. Hopefully I might see you. I bet you can't wait to get back out
@@donnypete I am immensely looking forward to coming back out.
great video Pete some awesome footage there matey loved it thanks for sharing take care a t b syd 🦮👍
@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 cheers Syd, I'm glad you enjoyed it, mate. Just a shame, no coal....... I will get around to reply to your last comment mate
Some good catches there. 1 question I didn't ask you , are all platforms at doncaster bi directional . Thanks Pete.
@tomward3656 Thanks, as always, Tom. The answer to your question is yes, they are mate
Thank Pete See you in September.
Great video Pete 😊
@woodysmainline cheers Leo, glad you enjoyed it mate
👍
While our government do their bit to solve the climate change China open a coal powered power station about every 2 months.
Great video, well done on that . They have not done just yet, they will find a way to shut Drax, Coal is king , keep up the good work 😁
@@Johnny16781 thanks Johnny 😊
Great video m8.
Cheers Steve
Pete...... Sad sad day mate, can see you have coal in yer veins and it must be sickening to witness the End Of An Era, whatever next????? I dread to think...Emotive vid pal thank you Cheers for now Ian........PS Dont Forget to hit the like button everyone.
@ianclarkson2251 Many thanks, Ian. I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍. It was a sad day, mate. There's no common sense left in the world. It's a joke.
Cracking video pete.i went to Keighley on the Saturday. Cracking day few bevvies with missus few haulages
Cheers Mark. It was a great gala. And the weather was great too.
A great video Pete with a fitting tribute regarding the demise of coal fired power stations. I feel so angry at the climate activists and their stupid antics in this country. The UK has done more than anyone to get to net zero and yet they are still not satisfied untill the lights have gone out and we are all sitting around a candle to keep warm. Oh no ! i forgot candle wax is oil based doh !. Any way thanks for sharing some great footage as always Pete, cheers, Colin.
@colingarwood9971 cheers Colin, and as always, I appreciate your comment. My views are the same, mate. It pains me that for the whole of my life I've been surrounded by coal and coal trains. And to watch them disappear to nothing but a disgrace. Good job China are opening another 100 coal powered power stations fffs
When that series of power stations were built, they had a design (service) life of 25 years..... Practically doubled that!
Haven't they just Ralph. And they would keep going for another 25 years too
interesting that the original comment I posted seems to have disappeared?????? Anyway never mind, but as the net zero madness progresses a lot of freight traffic will disappear from my local area, also is all freight going to end up pulled by 66s?
@debroahtaylor6398 A lot of freight traffic (well, what's left) will still be hauled by the class 66 for now, until the class 99 takes over. And I agree with the net zero madness as that's all it is. A money-making racket . I'm unsure how your original post has gone?? As I haven't deleted it.
What's the thing in the background at 2:06 that looks like a giant birdbath?
Hi Richard, it is a water tower....
@@donnypete thanks 👍
Amazing! Beatiuful video, greetings 🚂👍👋
Thanks Mate appreciate your comment 👍
Shame it is the last coal train,at least you got good footage. Grimethorpe was using coal and making good in roads to cleaner energy with the new style power station, but I believe a lack of funding made it close down. A shame as it would have made our electricity cheaper and less dependent on foreign power. So Coal is still King in my shoes,or miners clogs. LOL. I have also subscribed to Josh's channel.
@ernestbailey9194 Thanks, Ernest 😊 it's a one foot in the grave scenario this. Drax won't cope in providing the whole country 😒 COAL IS KING
I wonder if Ratcliffe will be demolished & a mega incinerator built similar to Ferry bridge!!
Hopefully, they will see the error of their ways and keep it going, but they will probably build houses on it
Dry your eyes Pete, never mind mate, life goes on. Thanks a lot For the Video, and remember if it comes out of the Ground, there’s only one King, and that’s Diamonds 💎 😊
Cheers John, glad you enjoyed it fella.
Does anyone know if Ratcliffe can carry on by using biomass like Drax.
Yes it can. But not until it had a conversion like Drax
Thanks for your usual high standard vids and also for the info on the last coal train I live at the side of ROS power station it’s shameful - now we shall see where energy prices get to.❤
Thanks Robert 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. I bet living as close to it will be a hard picture to grasp with what's going off.
@@donnypete I’ve got a bit of history with Ratcliffe my uncle was president of the tribunal for the then ministry of power which decided whether to go to Holme Pierrepont where the water sports centre is now or Ratcliffe on Soar, Ratcliffe won - it’s not that old commissioned in 1968
@@roberthoward3723 thanks Robert for that 👍
Great sentiment Pete let's see if Drax can keep the lights on this winter !
Thanks Mate. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video Pete loved the chat and yes your right 30th September last day of R P S dont know what happens then i can see those cooling towers from my garden and at moment it suplies just over 2 million homes and looking around i can't see anything big enough to replace it power wise a few turbines aint going to doo that job . just ordered some more candles from Amazon so see how we go 🤣 awesome vid matey loved it take care a t b Syd👍🦮
@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 Many thanks, Syd. Sorry for the late reply, mate. I'm going to try and get down at some point to take some photos of it before Amazon moves on it, lol .At least your candles won't have far to come, lol. My Dad's still got boxes of them from the 70's when the power strikes were on 😆 oh happy days. The days of no warnings you're in a black out, and of to shop to by candles in candle light lol 😆
Well summarised Pete, you know how I feel about the coal industry. A shout out to GBRF thoiugh for the naming official or otherwise a great gesture. Coal will always be king in this old man's mind.
Thanks, Roy. I totally agree with you on your thoughts about the coal industry . It will and truly will always be King
And still the lights are working! 😉
For now lol
Your local passenger train liveries are better than those down south!!
