Transpennine Route Upgrade Hits Diggle | Diggle Diaries: April 2025

Diggle Diaries: An attempt to film all daylight running freight and interesting workings from Diggle Junction. Situated on the picturesque Trans-Pennine, Manchester to Huddersfield and Leeds route, Diggle Jn lies at the top of a steep incline leading into Standedge Tunnel. Providing beautiful scenery, varied freight and trains working hard up the hill, there aren’t many better places for a bit of trainspotting.

This month includes:
- Two Class 50's, a Class 31 & a Class 45 Peak head to the ELR
- Freightliner 66501 with hidden nameplates
- Highland Pullman HST set snakes through Diggle
- Self Propelled Crane action in the Diggle possessions
- And much more...

Thanks for watching!
