Hjdary Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Just watched it....the shot inside the tower was great. It so sad to see the tower in the state it in at the moment....I hope that they do something with it, not just knock it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Killamarsh GC Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The tower is to be demolished, the only reason it was still standing was because of electrical equipment in the building that was still in use. This has all now been transferred to a new building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Killamarsh GC Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Some pics I took whilst at work before the major building work started on the new warehouses. Also inc a pic of Tinsley Yard box, the signalman on duty here no longer actually sees the trains he controls and must qualify as one of the most boring signalling jobs in the area!!

Guest stormy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Anybody interested in Tinsley should have a look at these four excellent videos (they're not mine!) They take a look at Tinsley past, present and indeed future, looking towards the SIRFT development. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b0Idml9mSs...&playnext=1 (its a playlist) Incedentally does anyone know if SIRFT is in use yet? The building has been finished for a long time, and EWS officially opened the sidings early last year but last I heard they were unoccupied.

johnm Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I found the 4 videos fascinating. I recall the Tinsley and Grimesthorpe yards being built - sad they should have gone in such a short time. Thanks for posting them, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
