How long before Saltburn to Skinningrove and Boulby closes?

Absolute madness if this line ends up closing. It runs along a highly densely populated corridor and is a perfect candidate for high frequency electric suburban trains!

What are they doing at the Junction of Thornhill Rd and Fall Lane in Dewsbury. Digging around them few houses

Just waiting for a Heritage Railway Group. To take it over. Seems sensible.

What cost millions is abandoned,to be rebuilt later at a cost of billions.

Here's a great opportunity to extend the tram system to Stocksbridge & Deepcar. If other conurbation tram systems can do it, why not in and around Sheffield too!

Excellent video my friends 😊awesome 😮 Greeting 🙋 from 🇦🇷 suscribete

Going back the line used to serve the paper mill.

I thought the super tram would take over that line. Especially after they built fox valley. Linking kilner way to fox valley.

What a perfect Preserved railway this would make.

Nice effort to film this and put on show. Fingers crossed it'll come back from the ashes one day. Maybe a cycle track first of all to keep it alive, then back to trains after a consultation?

What a thought provoking video. Could also be the site for a specialised deisel heritage railway!

Could do for a heritage line if someone had money to buy it !

It’s finished like everything else in Sheffield and up north nobody is interested 🤷

Let's hope that it's used for an extension to the Sheffield tram train network.

You’re right, but we probably across the whole of the West have been far too keen to buy the cheapest possible goods which are made in countries where a minimum wage is but a distant dream, so in some respects it’s payback time …. the real downside of capitalism….

This is another thing I hate about British Rail is not just scrapping historical steam locomotives but also closing several Branchlines because of them not being as profitable as others. To me it doesnt matter how much money branchlines make if the public rely on the Railways and what they would be without them

Britain closes everything.

Blame the "Net Zero" BS...!!!

The tram: YES. When I first saw this, I had the same thought of using it for Shieffield's tram system before you commented at the end about the tram :D

State of the transport infrastructure at the moment is a mess , yet years ago before beeching in the 60s came along more or less every town n village had a train station, very sad to see all the great engineering into the railways across Britain including the disused bridges etc all gone to waste!!.

Was on a Railtoor up there some time ago. Sad news

It would make a great heritage steam railway with the steelworks

Shame about this! Hopefully in the future, they decide to put more trains on the route, or as you say extend the Supertrams on this route as well. I'd happily buy up a railway like this and turn it into a private/heritage line, if I could...

I would say preservation would be the logical answer connecting to the main network and is in lovely countryside and would bring tourism to the area

Looking at the state of some of the track it's been neglected for more than 2 months.

Excellent production and very informative, cheers

Excellent video, thank you. As always, your videos are brilliant. Love from Oz

Probably forms part of a lucrative deal to sell off the land for a new road and give some local MPs a few few fat brown envelopes for Christmas

Increase capacity, for what purpose, what do they know they are not telling the public in this profit maximisation instant return jam today and lots of it or else business environment that is a great deal of public money being shoved about without ever stating any obvious reason as to why. Yes the routes are used but they are certainly not overused and if it was then it's because some wonder wooden-headed muppet thought it a grand idea to close Woodhead and then flog off a perfectly good tunnel for a fast buck just to make sure it was good and dead. Even when all this is done there is no indication of a sudden revival of fortunes for an area of the country habitually ignored by politicians and so consequentally industries alike, no hand out see. Leaving one wondering if this contractor feeding frenzy is simply a sop tossed onto the public plate after the Tories kicked HS2 into touch and then proceeded to dine on the proceeds.

I subscribed Sara… I’m in rail, this breaks my heart a thousand times…

Biggest mistake is believing the crap spouted by global warming its a big fallacy, anyone who did geography knows that climate is cyclic so whf are they talking about, and thats only O level not advanced

My Grandparents lived in Deepcar, and you could see the trains from their bedroom window, going through the woods you filmed in. The first train of the day was a happy memory as it usually signalled time to get up. My Great Grandfather was a shunter driver on the works railway.

This is now crying out for a supertram extension, especially with all the new housing developments, it could help alleviate traffic congestion into the city.

Government should be working to preserve whatever is left of our rail infrastructure. The 'Beeching Cuts' were very short-sighted.

Cutting the trees - well when they shut the last section of the GNR from Luton to Dunstable the last train through was the weed killer.

When I was an apprentice sheetmetal worker in 1982 we had a day looking around the steel making operations here. Back then it was very busy with trains bringing in scrap metal for smelting. Its sad to see how it is now. We still use and need steel more than ever before, but politics and other stupid issues have got in the way. We should never be dependent on other countries for essential materials and supplies like steel. Thanks for sharing the video.

What on earth is happening to our railways it’s terrible they have closed far to many lines SAVE OUR RAILWAYS Stop line closures. It’s Ernest Marples to blame for the closures in the 1960s for the closures

Wish train back running on the line

Loved this video sad to see it in that state, though knowing it will only get worse, though, unless the super trams do run on it, that would be a great idea, especially with the shopping area being so close.

How do they not still run trains during match days at Hillsborough? That's crazy, it's right there next to the line!

The steel works would still be in full swing and the railway still in use only for our corrupt politicians, Simple as that. They have been paid to sell out British people and to send our manufacturing to China. It could all be fixed at the stroke of a pen, but then that wouldn't fill their corrupt pockets and sick agendas. They are deliberately killing manufacturing and shoving us up to the hilt with unwanted migrants. I hope Trump and Farage can fix it.

Whilst it's excellent to point this out so that a 'watching brief' can be maintained to protect it, I'm maybe a bit more optimistic, because like you show at the end, there are proposals. Firstly, mothballed is as it states, just not being fully maintained. But even mothballed lines have basic maintenance performed. At least be grateful that there ARE alternative proposals and that the old thinking of "Okay, it's shut, rip it up and sell the land off" has now mostly gone. Railways now, even closed ones, are now given much longer periods of disuse before any permanently negative decisions are made regarding selling it off or the possibility of it reopening. To my mind, FAR more damaging to any line's future are Sustrans, who flat out REFUSE to have any dialogue regarding railway reopening projects, no matter how deserving, practical or even ESSENTIAL the reopening is to the place wanting it, once they have their sticky paws on it. Plus, there are even proposals to reopen the Woodhead line as an LRV system that the current use of the tunnels wouldn't affect. Trams in Manchester. Trams in Sheffield. Do the maths, perhaps? So, no, I absolutely agree, not the happiest thing to see any line mothballed, but equally, I'd suggest that we are a long way from seeing it fade into history. Time will tell.. but well done for tagging it up to keep an eye on.

Woodhead line went from Wath hump to concentration yards, in Dinting i think, any passenger traffic was superflous the majority was coal and coke to the north west of england, i remember the crossing gates at Manvers, if one didnt get you the other would.

Thank you. What's interesting is the remaining amount of viable route that remains. Many housing projects later, we're a bit stymied in some cases.

What about a preservation society taking it over?

A tram to a shopping centre, no worries about parking and certain lowering of pollution...what's not to love?

What a clever forward thinking thing to do. Well done Wales

We as a country use plenty of steel ,producing in China or India maybe cheaper, but at the expense of the environment.
