Guest bus man Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The hope valley line is NOT single track , it is only single from the junction at Dore to just past the curve to the main line from the hope valley line so I suspect the single track is less than a mile. It was a exercise in the last days of BR , the aim was to move the main lines over to where the old platforms had been to increase the line speed but the lines were never moved, this bit of single track is of course a major bottle neck on the hope valley line .

Stuart0742 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Heres another shot of Heeley station taken from a train. Would be interesting to see a modern version of this, not that there would be much to see apart from the double main line. It would however make a good Then and Now.

mike142sl Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Mallard at Dore & Totley 1988 Bet that never broke down - Unlike the NEW one that brought me back from London this afternoon. Had to swap at Derby :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mallard at Dore & Totley 1988 Somewhere I have some photos of the Mallard from that summer. I scared the life out of my mum by heading off to Grindleford for a better look (it was stopping there) with two complete strangers that I met at Dore.

SteveHB Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Taken from a movie made by the Sheffield Photo Company in 1903, may be Sheffield or is it in the outskirts ie: Derbyshire ? (what looks to be a building on the L/H side is the rear end of a a train) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Grindleford perhaps ? Hi Gramps, that was my first thought. The Film is called 'Daring Daylight Robbery' by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(what looks to be a building on the L/H side is the rear end of a a train) Does not look like Grindleford or any of the Hope Valley stations, nor does it look like the Midland line stations south of Sheffield (Millhouses etc). Obviously the platforms were access direct from the road overbridge, could it be Oughtibridge or somewhere in that direction. Its the embankment behind the platform I can not place.

Early Beauchief & Abbeydale must be a candidate. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s14747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well done oldrowley, and thank you Well I stand corrected (actually I am sitting) This photo is taken from Abbey Ln looking towards Sheffield last December, the staion building in Steve's photo would have been to the right where all the trees are.

SteveHB Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 In the movie made by the Sheffield Photo Company, the train leavs Beauchief & Abbeydale station traveling from right to left in the last movie still.

"I have now lost my bearigs on this one" This is said the next rail station on line, any ideas ? Right to left on the 1st still would be towards Sheffield, therefore Millhouses station, but is it in the film still? I have been wrong before on this subject :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I have now lost my bearigs on this one" This is said the next rail station on line, any ideas ? This could be the up platform (London Line) as there was a signal box in the background (Station canopy missing in later years) But the train would be travelling south towards Beauchief & Abbeydale. Arched Road bridge is behind the camera How long is the film Steve, looks interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
