Hi,
For each of the past three months I’ve visited the site of the former Tinsley Yard - it’s now a very pale shadow of its heyday but there are a few sidings that remain... albeit in quite a dilapidated state.
My first visit was on 7th November and parked in the sidings were some rather sorry looking DB Schenker wagons that had definitely seen better days... in all honesty I thought they’d been abandoned there and left to rot.
I returned for a second time on 18th December and to my surprise the wagons had been replaced by a newer looking set - a set that were still there yesterday (2nd January) when I made my third visit.
It’s clear that these sidings are used infrequently but what is their purpose today? The sidings I’m referring to are slightly beyond SIRFT and considering that they have their own sidings I’m presuming it’s nothing to do with them.
I’ve attached a couple of images from each of my first and third visits so you can see the rolling stock and the location in more detail.
All responses appreciated.
Many Thanks
