- 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.
This month includes:
- Line closure and engineering work finally ends
- Ex-DRS 66 works over Saddleworth Viaduct
- Three cranes taken away from the works top and tailed
- Bullet Trains? That doesn't sound right.
- And much more...
Thanks for watching!
Please leave a like, it helps a lot and don’t forget to subscribe for more rail videos.

Your enthusiasm is electrifying ! I always enjoy your contents and great photography. Totally digglyfied! John
Haha thanks John, that’s great to hear, glad you’re enjoying the vids!
LOVE the twilight shot at 06:55 with flashing red lights. GREAT shots of stone train and guys walking the track. You could improve your videos immensely with a WIND MUFF that blocks annoying wind noise, heard here. Try one, you'll love it!
Cheers Paul, I know it was a bit grainy but had to include that shot. I do have a shotgun mic with a “dead cat” but unfortunately it’s been back with Røde for the weeks the last few vids were shot because of some issues. All sorted now so should be back to higher quality audio in future vids. Cheers for the suggestion Paul 👍🏻
Top quality keep up the good work...
Cheers mate 👍🏻
A Railway magazine article said, Nuneaton was the best place to see freight, so for that reason that should be, your next 24 hour Marathon. Thanks for the video, looking forward to your holiday one.
I saw the same article, must have been what gave me the idea for Nuneaton. I like the idea of doing Crewe and covering the old railway towns for the first two 24 hour vids. Cheers as always John!
Another excellent video.
Cheers Yozzer, glad you enjoyed it mate.
can't wait for the next episode!
Cheers Warren, looking forward to getting back into the Diggle vids 👍🏻
another great video did actualy see the rail cranes at stalybridge station but could not see the loco numbers and the railcam is a brill addition to your channel 👍
Cheers mate, I couldn’t quite see them when I went down to Staly. Glad you like the railcam, fingers crossed I can get it up permanently soon 🤞
very nice! glad its finished now as was getting bored with no 68s lol. Nice to see peggy likes 66s too lol
Did you see the UTU with 37610 on it?
Haha me too! Peggy likes the sheds but think she much prefers the 68’s lol. I missed the UTU, think I’ve missed a bunch whilst I was away. NMT booked tomorrow so hopefully that runs.
Love the viaduct location, good to see Peggy keeping you company, looking forward to the next special 🇯🇵
She wasn’t happy having to stop in the rain to film trains haha. Going to be using the viaduct a bit more for anything special, just a bit too far for everyday stuff. Just editing the next one atm, definitely going to be a good one 👍🏻
I am in such a nice mindset after watching a Diggle video!! And, an idling locomotive is just as fascinating as one flying past!! Welcome back! 👍
Thanks a lot John, that’s a great comment. Glad to hear as I was a little worried with this one having not much movement. Great to be back 👍🏻
good video keep up the good work
Cheers Edwin, much appreciated 👍🏻
Nuneaton is busy with freight and passenger trains. You said you may do the Midlands or the west coast main line. Nuneaton is both.
That's what i'm thinking too. Nuneaton has over 250 freights in the WTT on a given day, even if only 1/3 run it's still a lot!
Excellent video as always! Lots of thrashing 66s! Nice to see the bullet train at the end too! 👍
Thanks a lot mate, good to catch them all powering away from a standstill. More of the bullet trains to come 👍
@@DiggleJunction 👍
Nice video, Notice that the orange army need to find something to lean on when they haven't got a shovel 😉(15 minutes in)
Haha always! Cheers Greg, glad you enjoyed it mate 👍🏻
Great to see the diaries are back! Tremendous return and suits me better than the railcam where time can be pressing. Might be nice to do a snapshot compilation of the action some time? Congratulations on 2k subscribers, no surprise really. Nuneaton sounds good, Crewe would be my second choice. Keep up the good work👍
Feels good to be filming here again! I just treat the railcam as an addition to the channel to supplement the vids but I like the idea of a compilation, food for thought. Thanks for the congrats, it’s unbelievable how quickly things have been moving along. Hopefully it means the videos can be improved more and more. Thanks again mate 👍🏻
Another really enjoyable video - shame the booked class 73 morphed into a 66 though....!! 😀
Cheers keef, tell me about it. I rushed out like a mad man after the allocation said 73, thinking "I can't miss that up here" so was very disappointed. Salt in the wound I left my monopod there and had to drive all the way back lol.
Great vid, some very nice shots in there. Any prizes for guessing where you went for your hols?
Cheers Bill, no prizes but definitely welcome guesses haha

I will have to go back and check that one Barry. Cheers for the comment mate.
What camera and tripod are you using here Luke? And at one point, footage looks like you switched briefly to a Gopro on a bridge.
I do occasionally use a GoPro but not very often. Almost all shots are an iPhone 14 pro max on one of a tripod, monopod or short gorilla tripod. Only tend to use the full tripod on platforms so doesn’t get too much use for Diggle diaries. Hope this helps mate 👍🏻
Forgive my ignorance BUT. I understand the word DECOY . What is it's meaning in context of a train having Decoy in the description? Please .
Ah right sorry mate, it’s just the name of the yard it was heading to/from 👍🏻
Why are a lot of those rock trucks partially empty🤔
I meant rock wagons
It looks like used ballast that will have been loaded by a digger, I suppose it just depends how much is around the train as it’s stopped. Not 100% sure though.
Can someone explain the red light at the start is that a stop ? If so why did he go through. New too trains
Normally yes it would be a stop signal, but the line is under an engineer's possession, so the man in orange hi-vis will have given the driver instructions to proceed past it.
Thank you very much……also what does decoy mean
Banksman gave locomotive green light with it been engineering work if it went through without the banksman it would have set a track side bang .
@@udstm Decoy is the name of the yard over in Doncaster, 'Up Decoy' is used mainly for the formation and marshalling of infrastructure trains for possessions. The 'Down' is used only really used as a holding location these days I believe. The decoy name comes from it originally being an area used to create a false bombing target to divert enemy bombers away from the town in the second world war.
👍🛤
Cheers Ceri 👍🏻
Great to see some more action from your home patch! I think that japanese set must be one of the ugliest I've ever seen, looks just like the c2000 model of the Fiat Multipla.
Haha you’re right, they’re very strange in person but by far not the weirdest I managed to film. I believe they’re that shape to reduce the piston effect and the loud boom of them entering tunnels so quickly. A long way from a northern 142. Happy to filming back in Diggle though. Cheers John.
