Britain’s oldest Working diesel electric, runs very well even in its 90s

My grandfather drove Scotsman through the channel tunnel back in steam days in 2002 ,he can still remember it like it was yesterday even though he’s now 25 ,I notice the driver takes a size 9 in boots ,im unfortunate as I take a size 11 which is not so common in a kitten heel

excellent shots👍 sadly i didn't see anything of the 73 with the 20 on Saturday didn't think it was running 😟

Enjoy it very much 😊

Fantastic as always

Hello there! Just wondering if it would be okay to use some footage for a video I'm releasing in the future regarding the class 73s and stock? Full credit will be given!

What Railway line is this I must come and visit??

I did my Driver Experience on that loco in Swanage three years ago. Loved it. Another tick off the Bucket List.

Superb loco everywhere she goes !

A railway video does not get much better than this one. It's been years since I last visited there

I like how the firebox glows in time to the beat.....

What a truly dreadful livery

Love the sound of the Class 33 Crompton ❤ Beautiful Countryside 💕

Nice to be back on a Spam again. A bit slower than my Nine Elms days though! Some nice footage also.

It’s an old train 🚊 that has been on these railways 🚆 🚃 for many years. All of these trains 🚊 have a toilet 🚽 🚻 and a first class accommodation. 👍

It’s amazing how videos from 2005 now look like they’re from the 1980’s 😅

I'm a bit confused by the double stop signal before Wittersham Road?

That Connex livery just looked like a metaphor for the company, cheap assed and poorly thought out

Pleased to have been directed here from the Tenterden Terrier

That blast up the bank put me in mind of a firing turn I had on one of the Austerities, sometime in the mid 90s, with the late Chris Mitchell. We reached Rolvenden, and Chris looked across at me with a wicked twinkle in his eye, and asked how it looked. I told him that we'd got a good batch of coal, a clean fire, no problem with water or steam. "Shall we go for it?", he asked; "Why not?", I replied - and by God, we certainly did! As we approached Cranbrook Road, the crossing keeper had his hands over his ears and a *huge* grin on his face! I don't know what our time was, Rolvenden to Tenterden, but I bet it was a goodly bit quicker than shown in the WTT . . . Chris and Carole Mitchell, very good friends, and great people to work with. ♥

Even though the real 34045 Ottery St Mary is not in preservation, 34027 Taw Valley disguised as its scrapped classmate.

Very nice memories on these,and the old Drivers I worked with. To get a sense of the Crompton’s working hard you need a 1000tons behind it!!

Brilliant!

Good.

Looks like Boris Perkins in the driving seat?

I had a headboard that used to sound just like that ....... ❤❤❤❤❤

Loved those 4Cigs and 4Ceps……lovely times travelling between Lewes and East Croydon in the 60s and 70s whilst working on the Southern, when we had a proper Railway.

The foot plate holds a little interest but outside view is better. This video has 80% footplate!

Awesome, i thought it was only Nene Valley Railway that ran European locos but i guess i was wrong 😂

I wonder why did he run that fast with the johnson bar almost all the way forward, makes acceleration more difficult and enrages the fireman

Brighton on his birthday: 👁️👄👁️ * no more trains*

Seaford Eastbourne split. Driven that many times. Had to remember bridges though!

The White Star Express has never stopped, and it shan’t do so now

I do miss these old slammers . The sounds and smells of them are still a good memory of them. Good vid and thanks for sharing it

0:37 that’s Diesel 199

I wish i could be the one who shovels in the coal

Why did you not put then conbanation brake on release

I can’t get used to black Manors. I never saw one! Always lined green and usually shining.

Love the shots, absolutely fab. However I can't not laugh at the name "Dingle Crossing" how silly.

Awesome video, I haven't seen this train in such a very long time. Where are they gone?? :(

Nice!

excellent shot of clanline 👍sadly they put 67s on the Pullman every time in Kent 😥

Hi, would you mind if we used this clip in a forthcoming video compilation of the Belmond Pullman, please?

Lovely little film. Would love to be on that footplate!

Whoa! That firebox is really low to the ground, you can tell the fireman’s really putting his back into it! Lovely video any the way!

Hey Look A Dmu

Fantastic video once again!

Where are you located
