Description
Another Yorkshire upload now, this time showing a busy Knottingley. In the days when coal was king a constant stream of class 56 hauled MGR coal trains ran through Knottingley to & from the pits and power stations. I imagine there is very little freight left there now, just the local passenger service. Also seen are class 142 & 144 Pacers, also soon to be, if not already, history as well. A tamper passing through completes the picture. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
