26-712: Dinting railway station serves the village of Dinting in Derbyshire , England. It is a stop on the Glossop line and, prior to the Woodhead Line 's closure in 1981, Dinting was a station on the Great Central Main Line between Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield Victoria . An earlier station had been opened as Glossop by the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway in 1842, but

52-732: A generally half-hourly service in both directions. It is notable for the Dinting Arches , a viaduct which carries the railway over Glossop Brook. The Dinting Railway Centre was run by the Bahamas Locomotive Society until it closed in 1991, due to leasing difficulties. The museum moved to Ingrow (West) station , alongside the line at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway . [1] . 53°27′N 1°58′W  /  53.450°N 1.967°W  / 53.450; -1.967 This Derbyshire location article

78-464: A short distance from the administrative boundary; the same is true for Glossop and Hadfield stations. This means that ticketings, such as rail rangers, season tickets and integrated multi-mode ticketing, is the same as Greater Manchester rather than Derbyshire . Derbyshire County Council 's Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket is not valid on trains on the Glossop line; however, it can be used on buses in

104-584: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . LMS Jubilee Class The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class is a class of steam locomotive designed for main line passenger work. 191 locomotives were built between 1934 and 1936. They were built concurrently with the similar looking LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 . They were nicknamed Red Staniers (due to their crimson liveries) and Jubs . The last five locomotives of Henry Fowler 's Patriot class on order, 5552 to 5556, were built with William Stanier 's taper boiler and so became

130-523: Is a village in the High Peak district of Derbyshire , England. It is situated near the towns of Glossop and Hadfield . There is a small primary school, Dinting C of E, located near the viaduct . The 1st Dinting Scout Group has been active since 1938. The village is served by Dinting railway station , on the Glossop Line between Glossop , Hadfield and Manchester Piccadilly . The station has

156-447: Is generally a half-hourly daytime service to Manchester Piccadilly and Hadfield, via Glossop. Some peak journeys go directly to and from Hadfield along the north side of the triangle, in order to allow a more frequent service to operate with the same number of train sets. Early morning, rush hour and late evening services start and terminate at Glossop. Trains operate hourly in the evenings in each direction. The Dinting Railway Centre

182-604: The Big Four days still in service. Four Jubilees have been preserved, two each built by Crewe Works and by North British. 45593 and 45596 were purchased directly from BR for preservation. The other two were rescued from Woodham Brothers . All four have operated in preservation and all have run on the main line. As of 2024 two members of the class are operational and mainline certified: 45596 Bahamas , and 45699 Galatea . In May 2024 David Smith of West Coast Railways confirmed that he had purchased 45593 Kolhapur and that

208-558: The Rebuilt Jubilee Class . These two one-offs were have said to be a direct upgrade in performance in both power and steaming abilities from the non-rebuilt Jubilees, and similar in performance to the Rebuilt Patriot Class , however they were 3 tons heavier than the non-rebuilds, thus limiting their route availability. They were to have been the prototypes for the rebuilding of the entire class but were, in

234-558: The Silver Jubilee of King George V on 6 May of that year. This change gave the name to the rest of the class, see LMS Jubilee Class 5552 Silver Jubilee . Earlier on (from summer 1934), they had been known as the "Red Staniers" (because of the crimson livery), to distinguish them from the "Black Staniers" (the LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 class). These engines were named after former Commonwealth states and countries of

260-588: The British Empire, British admirals, British naval commanders, and finally, ships in the British Navy named after characters from Greek Mythology. Until the late 1950s, Jubilees were the largest express engine normally found on the lines running out of St Pancras . They practically monopolized the role of the main express engine, with the occasional Royal Scot popping up, or radiating from Derby . They could nevertheless be found on main lines throughout

286-402: The area. In the 1990s and early 2000s, a new railway station was proposed a short distance down the line across the viaduct at Gamesley , with funding in place at one point for the project to go forward after a feasibility study; however, such plans have yet to come to fruition. The station is staffed part-time (6:30 am to 1:00 pm, weekdays only), with the ticket office on platform 2. Outside

312-560: The class had many variations due to improvements being made as they were built. The major differences were: These locomotives had a bit of a mixed reception during their early working days, but while their reputation did improve over time, they didn't reach the same amount of praise as the Black 5 locomotives. When the first members were built, the original 113 batch of engines to be precise, engine crews said that they were often disappointing. Crews often said that they were poor steamers and that

338-549: The end, the only Jubilees so to be treated. (They were reclassified 6P in July 1943, and 7P in 1951). As part of experiments at the Rugby Locomotive Testing Station , no. 45722 Defence was fitted with a double chimney from 1956 to 1957. In 1961 a double exhaust was fitted to no. 45596 Bahamas which carried it through withdrawal and into preservation. Although built over only a three-year period

364-501: The first of the Jubilee class. 113 locomotives were ordered straight from the drawing board. They were initially a disappointment; their moderate degree of superheating often left them short of steam. Changes to the blastpipe and chimney dimensions helped to transform them. On 29 April 1935 no. 5552, the first of the class, permanently swapped identities with no. 5642 which had been named Silver Jubilee on 19 April 1935 in recognition of

390-735: The former LMS system. They were also regarded as a powerful upgrade from both of the older Compound 4-4-0 locomotives, both the MR 1000 Class and the LMS Compound 4-4-0 as well. The Jubilees were a rather common sight on the Midland Main Line , the West Coast Main Line , and the Settle-Carlisle line , but were eventually displaced by the much more powerful Royal Scots during the 1940s. The power classification

416-547: The loco is not presently wearing them. Loco numbers in bold mean their current number. ( Sierra Leone ) Returned to service in Jan 2023 working first test run in Feb 2023. Mainline Railways ' catalogue included OO gauge LMS Jubilees with Fowler tenders in 1983; in LMS crimson, BR green and BR lined black liveries. Mainline also had a limited availability of other OO gauge Jubilee 5XPs

442-469: The locomotive was moving to Carnforth for overhaul at a future date, while 45690 Leander was about to undertake an overhaul. A large number of parts were taken from sister engine 45562 Alberta , which was the subject matter of a few preservation attempts, one of them even tried to persuade Sir Billy Butlin to buy it, that failed before she was scrapped in 1968 and most parts exist on preserved sister engine Galatea . Note: Marked names indicate that

468-592: The old eastbound mainline platform towards Hadfield and that formerly used by Manchester-bound trains on the Glossop branch. Buildings still stand on each one, though neither is now in rail use. There are also buildings on platform 1 and a signal box that controls the triangular junction and single lines to both termini. Immediately adjacent to the station is the Dinting viaduct , where three people were killed in an accident in September 1855. Another accident south of

494-493: The older locomotives that would be eventually replaced by them often performed better. However, once the problem with these engines was found and fixed after several extensive trials took place (the problem being that the diameter of the blast pipe was too large for the engines to make proper steam), the Jubilees went from being a theoretical success to an actual success thanks to some modifications. No. 45637 Windward Islands

520-408: The power of the locos and also improved the coal consumption. It only carried this fitment for one year. 5742 Connaught was the next, being fitted with a plain double exhaust in 1940 which it carried until 1955. 5553 Canada was also fitted in 1940 but carried the double chimney for a short time. 5735 Comet and 5736 Phoenix were rebuilt with a 2A taper boiler and double chimney in 1942 to become

546-570: The station, in 1906 on the Glossop branch, resulted in 20 passengers and three members of train crew being injured when two trains were involved in a rear-end collision. A derailment of a freight train took place along the then eastbound Hadfield platform on 10 March 1981, shortly before the Woodhead's closure, destroying much of its original structure. Dinting is considered to be part of the Transport for Greater Manchester rail network, being only

572-423: The times listed, tickets must be purchased prior to travel or on the train. There is a shelter on this platform, whilst canopies on the buildings on platform 1 offer a covered waiting area when this platform is in use. Level access is available to both platforms from the car park and station entrance. Train running information is offered via automated announcements, timetable posters and digital CIS displays. There

598-464: Was 5XP, in common with the earlier Patriot class. In January 1951 the classification was revised to 6P and in November 1955 to 6P5F but this change was not applied to the locomotives' cabsides, which continued to show 6P. Five members of the class were fitted with a double chimney at different times. 5684 Jutland was the first, fitted with a double Kylchap in 1937. The double chimney did improve

624-580: Was based at Dinting station. Formed by the Bahamas Locomotive Society , the museum used to feature visits by such famous railway engines as Flying Scotsman , Mallard , Blue Peter and surviving members of the LMS Jubilee Class . It was closed in 1991; the society and its collection are now based at Ingrow West railway station near Keighley , West Yorkshire . 53°26′56″N 1°58′12″W  /  53.449°N 1.970°W  / 53.449; -1.970 Dinting Dinting

650-411: Was destroyed in a severe accident in 1952, making it the first Jubilee engine to be scrapped. The remaining 188 locomotives were withdrawn between 1960 and 1967. The first of the standard withdrawals being 45609 Gilbert and Ellice Islands in September 1960 and the last engine to be withdrawn was No. 45562 Alberta from Leeds Holbeck shed (20A) on 4 November 1967. They were the last express engines from

676-741: Was renamed when the Glossop branch opened in 1845. In 1847, a temporary Glossop Junction station was built, on the site which the present station was built in 1848. A direct west-to-south curve was added in 1884, when the station was rebuilt, allowing through running from Glossop to Manchester. For most of the day, all trains use platform 2; however, in the rush hour, platform 1 is the departure platform for services to Glossop via Hadfield, with platform 2 being used for trains to Manchester Piccadilly (although this can reverse with trains to Hadfield via Glossop departing from platform 2 and Manchester Piccadilly services using platform 1). Two further platforms survive, but both are out of use and fenced off; these are
