    Anyone know if there's any footage of coal trains running through Stairfoot in the 80's? Seen a couple of cracking pictures from the last few years of the lines operation but I'm pretty sure video cameras were relatively common by then.

    My Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad all worked at Barrow. I believe between them they pretty much spanned the entire life of the pit.
