Thoresby colliery
Ghost train? surely not? On September 15th 2015, 2 months after the mines' closure and a coal train is seen starting to propel it's loaded train back out towards the signal box. I guess that they are clearing the backlog. I heard that the demolition process has officially begun which is why I called in on my way back from a job near Tuxford. I was surprised at the propelling manoeuvre and by the time the penny dropped, the train had already made progress to the junction. I legged it across the fields to the signal box but just missed it pulling away. Would've made a good movie. I took a token movie of the wagons passing the signal box.
