- A very enjoyable and very cold afternoons session spent at Sheffield on the Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from Northern, Transpennine Express, Cross Country, East Midlands Railway and freight from Freightliner.
Sheffield station was opened in 1870 by the Midland Railway, the design of the station was put down to the architect John Holloway Sanders. This particular station was the fifth to be built in the city and subsequently the last one at that.
The station wasn't given an easy birth as it was built on what was known as the 'new line'. The reason it was called the new line was because this route would run in between Grimesthorpe Junction and Tapton Junction, the former being on the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway and the latter junction located north of Chesterfield. This route replaced what was called the 'old road' which worked its way from Sheffield Wicker to Rotherham which would ultimately connect to London.
Now the controversy came from the Duke of Norfolk who was the land owner where the line would try and pass through. He didn't want the line to be seen as he thought it would be a blight on the landscape, so he insisted that if the line was to go ahead then the designers would need to construct a tunnel which they eventually had to do if they wanted to complete the railway on time. This only remained in place for a number of years as eventually the tunnel was cut out to create a cutting which is now the current approach to the station. But once again this also brought with it another issue, a group known as the Sheffield Corporation put their hat into the ring by raising concerns that the eastern side of the city would be cut off from the centre of the town. So to sort out this issue they then had to install a footbridge leading over the station so that both halfs of the town were connected. That bring still stands to this day and oddly enough it was the bridge I was standing under whilst filming.
The station has gone through so many upgrades during its life with the introduction of newer trains, when the class 45 and 46 diesel locomotives were brought in a new engine shed was built to store them. However this was demolished when these engines were eventually retired. Of course more platforms were built, bay platforms were added to increase capacity. And again when East Midlands Trains started operating services the station was redesigned again to meet the capacity that was inevitably going to come, in turn this also brought the Sheffield Tram System up to modern standards with a tram station adjacent to the main station.
My next station will be Market Harborough.

Very nice. Also I was there at Sheffield on that day as well and around the same time
Thanks very much, I hope you had a great time there!
24:19, amazing catch. Kind regards. 👍
Just the perfect thing to watch after a long day, Just sit back, relax and watch some trains. I love the intro to your videos by the way - it's been pretty much the same since I started watching in 2015 but that's what makes it great👍
Thank you ever so much for being with my channel for so long now it really is greatly appreciated!
Nice, the City if true grit and Steel. This is quite a surprise seeing the Nova 3 sets beginning service on South Pennines route but will be great to see alongside with the Scarborough to Manchester Piccadilly services :-)
The north of England is starting to get some good trains back now!
Very nice video loved the 68 and the 4 engines great work 👍👍
The TransPennine 68s are performing driver training runs as the Cleethorpes to Manchester route is being extended to Liverpool equipped with 68s
EDIT: CrossCountry started in 2007 (15 years ago)
Any word on the route from Manchester-Liv that will take? Chat moss or CLC?
@@Oskarjlee I have no idea at the moment, I’m suspecting it’ll go via Newton-le-Willows (Chat Moss) but I’d like to see it go via Warrington (CLC)
NEW: It will be running via Warrington
@@samsplanestrains5386 Gutted! Local is Huyton and loved seeing them plough through at 90 on the Scarborough services.

Great Video, Make sure to consider going to Hadley Wood on The ECML (Served by LNER, Great Northern, Thameslink, Lumo, First Hull trains and Plenty of freight) Please keep up these banging videos!
Thanks very much, I will try and get Hadley Wood done at some stage next year when I get the chance to do so!
@@Tornado922 Oh Ok. Merry Christmas!
Great video at Sheffield

The Super Voyagers went into service in April, 12 2002.
amazing video jarred your funny of talking to your self
Thanks very much bud!
You are still nuts buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy 👍
But it makes your videos buddy
@@alanshelly7068 You're to kind!
Brilliant video Mr T I think if the guy from come dine with me retires you should apply Lol 👍👍
Oh I'll definitely sign up!
The class 220 Voyager's were built between 2000-2001 to replace the HST's and the VXC loco hauled stock but Virgin Cross Country ran for a decade from 1997-2007 and Cross Country is 15 years old since it was established in 2007 replacing Virgin Cross Country and the Central Citylink servers of Central Trains
After 2007 until 2016 Arriva held the XC circuit. But i'm not sure who owns Cross Country now whether it's still Arriva or some other TOC.
@@DKS225 arriva own them.
@@declangaming24the company that own Cross Country is Arriva UK Trains which also own Grand Central, Chiltern Railways and Arriva Rail London.
@@Owenjedi5000 and formerly Northern rail until they got taken over by the government .
@@declangaming24 Thank you for clearing that up Declan. I wasn't sure who owned them after 2016. I guess Arriva was successful in having their contract renewed.
And the original Voyagers went into service in late 2001.
great video tornado and i did east midlands parkway to lecister then lecister to birmingham new street and then birmingham new street to derby and then derby to east midlands parkway and i was on east midlands meridan and cross coutry 170
Thanks very much, sounds like you had a very busy time with all that travelling!
you sound like me when i natter to my self and even argue with myself lol
is that a good thing lol
@@Tornado922 yes it means we are more fun .
I'm here for class 68 only 😉
It was 2007 when Arriva took over the cross country services.
I must admit I didn't think it was that long ago when they took over the franchise
Hello Tornado922. Out On The Midland Mainline Today.
Hello
I'm guessing Market Harborough, Chesterfield, Nottingham and Derby were all done so I wouldn't have been with you for Nottingham assuming that was done then as I wasn't around!
Well as you now know that wasn't the case haha
Like to go to Sheffield. Including riding on the Sheffield Supertram and Class 399 tram-train.
I haven't done a ride on the tram network as of yet, but I will try and get that done at some stage
Being from cleethorpes, we're use to cancelled services haha
You do seem to have incredibly irregular services it would seem
@@Tornado922 yea it's ridiculous.
I see alot of 68s at cleethorpes.
Be nice to see a few more down my end of the world!
Those Mk. 5 sets really do look good. Caught one of them from York to Scarborough. Not bad to ride in. As for DMUs, I think the class 158 is still my favourite. As for the class 70s, they're ugly.
The 70 seems to get a lot of flack from rail enthusiasts I find. Whilst they may not be the best looking loco running around the network they are certainly one of the better sounding ones when at full chat. Although I think the 68's take the top spot for noise and looks
The TPE 68’s are nice it’s a shame that they couldn’t put them into full service across there network all because of people complaining about the noise the Loco makes. (Which is why they are quite limited on routes) Fancy a class 68 alarm clock anyone? 😂😂
I heard it was the residents at Scarborough who were kicking up a fuss because of the noise, personally I wouldn't mind having a 68 set off next to me every day haha
@@Tornado922 it’s not only Scarborough, York has complained a lot at 1 time, iirc I could go as far as to say Redcar did it as well. (But I cannot fully remember) I mean now they have increased the diagrams to 10 and start spanning Manchester and Liverpool to destinations as well
I've never been to Sheffield whats it like at that end of the world? I've been to Nottingham and I really do like Nottingham and I've been on a tram at Nottingham. Trams make a City.
Sheffield is a nice enough city, nothing overly great to report though, just like any other city I guess.
Please do carlisle
That will have to be done next year
Hey tornado can you do a complication of all your slip ups I think it would very funny
Whilst that would be highly entertaining I haven't got all of my films saved onto a computer so I wouldn't have the chance to get that put together
We’re was the trian coming from bound for Nottingham
Can't remember
unfortunately the EMR 158s wont be going into the new EMR livery as they are all being replaced by class 170s in the near future along with the 156s. I will definitely miss them.
Do you know where the 158's will be going?
@@Tornado922 theyll most likely transfer to nothern like the 156s
180s can do the Sheffield runs, but they're not that common, mostly Nottingham runs
It would be nice to see the 180's have a chance to stretch their legs on different runs
8:39
It was 2012
and you still said london liverpool street instead of liverpool lime street
Kinda wasn't worthwhile telling myself not to do it haha
trains int norf > trains int souf
end of

@@RWL2012 only ever bin on 1 welsh train wher they gave us carlin so i fink trains in ingerland r better than in wayulls
