GBRF Class 99 DRAX Testing Halted! | Diggle Diaries: June 2026

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:
- Class 99 on test hits a roadblock
- Summer Diesel Gala Convoys
- Class 37 test trains
- Noise competition with 31's, 50's and 37's!
- And much more...

Thanks for watching!
