Mark Saunders Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The spoil, approx 300.000 cu yard came from the cutting that replaced Corbridge tunnel.(Pedant mode off) Correct it is still there and recently the cutting suffered severe landslip closing the railway for a few weeks! Whereas Richmond Hill (Leeds) tunnel was demolished and turned into cutting with the bit that is now called Richmond Hill Tunnel is an overgrown bridge and spoil from it is allegedly the foundations for parts of Neville Hill Depot!

johndon Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Passed a very miserable Tyne Yard today as I spotted a train of tankers sat there with, as it turned out, an unidentifiable DB Class 60 (possibly 60011 as I've seen that a few times at Tyne Yard) at the front: The, as I understand it, soon to be demolished driver accommodation block: Thunderbird 67006: And the new compound for the Hitachi units: 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The tug isn't 60011 as it is named, has red cab side air vents and is lacking NRN aerial pods on the roof. Looks like quite a short plate, could be 044. Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 The compound built for the Azumas is starting to fill up. Parked at the far end meaning a zoom lens was a must. John 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndon Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Stopped at Tyne Yard yesterday afternoon and got a few photos despite the fading light. Numerous sizes and liveries of Class 800s (including a rake of coaches with a barrier coach at each end), Royal Mail 325, an HST rake on it's way for scrap, passing 225s and, oddly for Tyne Yard, not a 66 in sight. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The barrier coaches are on a Mk3 set not an 800. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 So they are. As those sidings are meant for storing 800s I assumed they were an 800 set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Eastern Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I've not visited Tyne Yard for a while, and the first time since the office block has been demolished, just doesn't look the same. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) It's been quite some time since I stopped at Tyne Yard but I made the trip this morning for a most unusual sight in the form of 92032 (the first Class 92 I've ever seen) on a charter from Newcastle to Kings Cross: Edited July 3, 2022 by johndon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
packetlos Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Here is 92032 returning in the evening, routed on the slow line on a single yellow for Low Fell junction to allow a scheduled LNER service to pass. So passing nice and slow.. Edited July 3, 2022 by packetlos 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted July 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2022 Choc/cream one is a generator coach ex-Mk1 BG and the other is a generator/support coach ex-Mk2 or 2a BFK. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Visitors to Tyne Yard this evening that I've never seen there before, two Grand Central units: 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 A most unusual formation at Tyne Yard this morning, HST Power Cars 43484+43465 with a delivery of one of the new units for the Tyne and Wear Metro system. Apologies for the not great quality but the weather was pretty horrible and I only had my iPhone with me. and looking in the other direction we can see the new bridge being built over the ECML for the widening (7 lanes in total) of the A1, the new bridge is around a hundred yards or so to the south of the existing one and the whole A1 will be skewed to cross it once the work is finished. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

packetlos Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Always thought it was strange that arriva traincare have a presence at Tyne for maintaining the cross country voyagers but the grand central units (also owned by DB/Arriva) were serviced at Heaton by northern. The GC 180's are much more common at Tyne these days. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
