Tyne Yard, September 2016, and my first visit for many, many, years (even though I only live a few miles away) and the place looks a bit run-down. It seems as though it's only used nowadays for engineers trains for various Network Rail work sites in the region. Even in the late 1970s, when the hump yard was closed and freight was in decline, it was busier than this with several class 08s scurrying about and classes 31/37/40/46/47/56 around the 'day shed' and Deltics roaring past on the main. Wish I'd had a digital video camera in those days!
