Remember it well, my Dad worked at Darnall Sheds.

Cant forget it used to work on Ribston Rd. Must have come over there easy six times a day. Gaffer had yard in late 70s just off Bridge top of Ribston. Infact garrage is still there at bottom of Ribston. Tyre place now though.

I believe my Dad worked at Neepsend first then he went to Darnall, he was a Loco fitter then when they brought Diesel Trains in he re trained to be a Diesel Fitter, then when they closed Darnall he went to Tinsley Marshalling Yards where he worked till his retirement in 1978. We lived not far from Darnall Sheds and I vaguely remember during school holidays going in to the diesel shed when my Dad was working ,I would be about 8 or 9 and one time he was working on a Shunter and he let me get in the cab with him and drive it in the yard.

Remember train spotting in the 1950s in the school dinner hour on the bridge
