RMweb Gold russ p Posted June 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2015 Excellent, so much nicer than the present station Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Good day Peter, The Class 47 looked very familiar to me! Seen 0n 14 April 1978 - 47172 on the adjacent through lines. Would that load of steel coil have originated at Scunthorpe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 And if you got onto the platforms you might've seen a "Peak" or two around. Here's one stabled in the sidings adjacent to the station. The footbridge leading to the Loco Works, plus of course the Loco Works themselves, are now but a memory..... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 The shutters have closed for the last time on the W H Smith stall in the booking hall at Derby Midland station. This was the scene for many hello's and goodbye's over the years. Soon the wrecking balls would reduce all this to rubble..... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 And if you got onto the platforms you might've seen a "Peak" or two around. There was one in the RTC yard the other week when I last visited Derby! None stabled by the platforms though. That spot was taken up by Railfreight red-stripe class 20s. Is this really 2015?

DavidBird Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Interested to note that the current Derby Station is actually still called "Derby Midland Station", unlike the simpler "Nottingham"... https://goo.gl/maps/mMwXh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted June 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2015 Don't all shout at once! YES PLEASE. OK POB. Two more at Derby. To follow on from Peter K's earlier shot, turning around here is the booking hall looking the other way towards platform 1 with the same information board (with a lot more info on it) And then one of the RoundHouse with the access bridge in place More to follow later............. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted June 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2015 Ooh, these photos bring back memories! I used to travel from Matlock to Derby every Sunday, and back on a Friday, in the early eighties, and that's just how I remember it. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 "Midland" reappeared on Derby station just before privatisation. I presume it was the managers who expected to become part-owners of the Midland Main Line TOC obtaining a bit of free publicity at BR's expense.

RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted June 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2015 Not Derby. No idea where that is. I have a shot of two class 20's at Derby in 1984. I will scan and post later for you to compare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume it was the managers who expected to become part-owners of the Midland Main Line TOC obtaining a bit of free publicity at BR's expense. Until not so long ago Nottingham used to have some of the old style BR florescent platform lamps with 'Nottingham Midland' emblazoned on them (at the Grantham end of platforms 1/3). These seem to have gone as part of the many changes over the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 At this time, the former goods yard at Matlock contained a "Peak" and one of the prototype HST trailers too. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted June 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2015 As promised two 20's taken from Platform 6, again 1984. with the works and the RTC office block in the background Even semaphore Signal's as well 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
