What - no Mrs Lopsided`s house?
47598 a long way from home there.
Back in the day when there was something worth going out to see
Newton Abbot needs another platform, plain an simple
Memories of screaming valenta engines leaving Reading station waiting on my train to Penzance. At times on full chat, it was deafening
Fantastic memories, I was somewhere on those platforms.
TREVOR HARRIS TOTNES TORQUAY PLYMOUTH
...and in January 2024 Tavistock still awaits the go-ahead from government on reopening to Bere Alston.
AM Exeter Sarah Kendall. I believe she is one of the bosses at CrossCountry Trains nowadays.
6:15 well cheap compared to these days for all that 😂
Some great memories, something about the smells the noise and occasional curled sandwich from travellers (un)fare that’s as compelling now as it was then.
47526 needs a holiday... and why is it pulling a 50...? N x
30 years ago today!
What would we have done with no 47s great film thanks.
Used to love a trip from Cheltenham to Temple Meads for a day at the station in the late 80’s. Then take the holiday maker back with double headed 31’s. Great days sadly missed
The 47 running round was at Plymouth, wasn’t it?
Yes, my home City. I'd caught this train at Bristol to get back that evening.
I was at Crewe that day to photograph it. I had the t shirt too.
The start of the end for Bath Road depot sad sight to see and nothing took its place such a waste
I didnt realise this was recorded exactly 29 years ago. Im watching on the 19th May
Fab
Local enthusiast David Medley at 1.03. Sadly missed.
Awesome video
Old smokey, with Malcolm looking on and Mr Hudson checking they'd remembered to tie on. I'm on this tour aged 17, yikes.
Awesome
I remember these trains
A verry good video it won't ever bring back only if they did a rail Toor with them included in it
Better times, before this country started to slide…
Fantastic
I've got 43 103 also named John Wesley in OO guage by Hornby.
A VEP and a CIG, both on 92s ... 🤔
*Stopped trains do not like to be eaten* lol, nice scr reference
never liked the NSE livery!
Stations of the future: Understaffed, closed, dilapidated.
I was on this magnificent journey, from Reading. Fantastic memories. I recall that intercity overtaking us between Birmingham and Stafford. I was the guy right at the back, waving. Many thanks for doing this video. I'll never forget the experience. There was something about these machines.
🚂👍
£2.95 for that food and drink in the buffet car!
Nice selection !! Takes me back a few years and a lot more freight !
50006 has a fast idle can’t think why?
I just love the sound of that big V16-250 litres!! Big enough?
🚂👍
Simply wonderful
Just came across your video. Great to see the 47/7's reminded me of seeing them and working on them at Carstairs in 1980.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing, a real piece of history. An old acquaintance of mine the station manager, appears in a bowler hat at 32 seconds, a blast from my past. The wonderful Karen Keating too, may she rest in peace.
Interesting you featured 47701 and 47708 here. I have both these locos, 47701 in NSE as shown in the video, 47708 in her Scotrail guise, with the name "Waverley", and also still doing push pull work. By coincidence, an item in the rolling stock newsreel of the January 1991 edition of Motive Power Monthly, under class 47, reads "Transferred to Old Oak Common that day, 47701 and 47708 were seen passing through Carlisle, light engine, at 01:50 on 31st October 1990, with nameplates removed". Basically, 47701 and 47708 were moved from Eastfield to Old Oak Common at the exact same time.
Great video, but some dodgy practices in train movements, worst was on 11:12 door flew open on a DMU , driving from trailing cabs . I did over 40 years in the industry. A few rules broken here. One guy at Didcot got sacked for less than what happened within the station here. The area manager would be right in the shit at Exeter allowing these transgressions
I bet Tim shuddered with it being called 'N' Gauge.. LOL
Class 47s were stopped being used on the Exeter to London Waterloo line via Honiton, Yeovil Junction, Gillingham Dorset, Salisbury, Andover, Basingstoke, Woking and Clapham Junction in May 1993. Replaced by class 158s and 159s in 1993 for nearly 30 years.
First generation DMU units honestly have been withdrawn from the south west England since 1993 for almost 30 years now updated Monday 3rd October 2022.
Sad to these 50’s derelict. Fabulous machines.
What if a suicide had occurred while those girls were in the cab
shutup!
