Thanks to muchness for getting round to stubbing the article for me - it was hte next thing on my list.
A quick question though - is Tinsley genuinely 100% derelict? I know it's a shadow of its former self (no hump, no loco depot, no exit to the Midland "old road" nor the Midland main line at Brightside etc.), but I was under the impression that it is still used by some freight trains.

at 19:12 i saw a class 66 passing under tinsley viaduct, towards the yard. is this now the normal time, or is it just the weekends?( 86.137.34.252 20:01, 23 April 2006

"However there are plans to build a new rail-linked distribution centre on the disused parts of yard". Are there any references for this? I'm just interested really, as I always found the yard facinating! L.J.Skinner wot| I did 22:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
However sensitive you may be to the politics behind the running down of cargo rail in Britain in the 80s, it's odd not to mention that getting cargo off the railways and on to the roads formed part of the social engineering of the neoliberal project that was then gaining the ascendancy (and remains to this day).
