So sad. We'll come to regret the destruction of Ferrybridge C in our current electricity supply crisis. When wind speeds drop National Grid cannot rely upon wind farms. Hence the remaining coal-fired power stations in the UK are on standby at present and will be for the foreseeable future until new nuclear generating capacity is available. Keltbray I am sure are doing a very professional job but nonetheless this is a very short-slighted act of industrial vandalism.
This is a horrendous waste of a perfect part of our power grid and national energy security. This process of decarbonisation of the power industry will be regretted n the years to come !
The UK could design and build proper stuff back in the day. We could build an immense fleet of coal-fired and nuclear behemoths. Cathedrals of electricity production. Not anymore. We don't have the skills and capabilities to create equipment like Ferrybridge C today. The video, showing the demise of this great "servant of the nation", is a metaphor for the decline of British manufacturing.
Sad to see that saw it built saw it demolished worked there for 40 years 😢

I agree.
This looks awesome mate 😎
Amazing how 3 years of filming can be condensed into 3m and 23 seconds and tell the story.
Ridiculous how this shite government has got rid of these stns so quick loads of board men out of work and contractors
Looks great Adrian 👍

And now we are living through a government induced energy crisis. Thankfully government has the solution too (sarcasm intended).
