Guest manc owl Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 A painting of the train Sheffield Wednesday emerging from the Woodhead Tunnel I really like this. I don't suppose you know where prints can be bought from, if even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It was a wonderful station .Perfectly situated for an ambush by the Gate lads on the way down I can remember when we played Rotherham in early 80s and living in Rotherham they were telling us for days before game that they were bringing hundreds of there top boys and all us at Gate and Travs were in for a good kicking. When train pulled in on big day about 50 got off and all Wednesday fans were laughing at them as they walked past us outside Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 yeah cus the line was shut after the stocksbridge steelworks so it wasnt possible for trains to come thr other way I was referring to the time before closure, when Woodhead tunnel was still in use for goods trains. Football specials could have, but probably didn't, come to Wadsley Bridge via Wortley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I can see the station and part of the line reopening (for passengers). Up to Stocksbridge, something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan140177 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Ah the 80's when the away fans got off the train at Wadsley Bridge and we went past on the 80 bus enquiring if they wanted a Nescafe. Can't remember home fans ever using the station in that eraall the pubs on wadsley bridge boarded their windows up on certain match days when the station was open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to Stocksbridge, something like that.There's a group campaigning for the re-opening of the line to passengers upto Stocksbridge - called the Don Valley line.The Wadsley Bridge sign is outside a funeral home next door to the station.

Guest JohnFantham Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I live very close to Oughtibrige Station and the old ticket office. The station fell derelict a few years ago but builders did it up and sold it on. The building opposite is the old pub which is just a big house now on Station Lane.The Train comes now and then which I believe from Aldwarke in Rotherham to Stocksbridge park steels.
