Nice To See A Stratford Silver Roofed Class 47 A Proper Class 47 Colour I Wish We Could Go Back To Those Days Of Classic Class 47 Colours
Hi there my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including the refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Leyland 510 Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner LG1200 Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train Fans PLEASE? Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project for all of us out there Pretty Please.

Hi 👋
As here in the U.K. (I’ve lived here in Manchester 23 years) reverts to rail re-nationalisation, I can see a lot of parallels with the railways in my native Republic of Ireland, both under the old CIE and with Irish Rail - the Irish government is planning quite a massive and ambitious investment programme in the Irish railways - I still have extended family in Ireland and my Grandfather on my Dad’s side used to work for CIE - similar to the Beeching cuts in the 1960’s, at the same time, we Irish also saw a lot of rail lines close down, some of which have been recently reopened - aside from the failure of HS2, I’d love to see the proposed high-speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin finally going ahead in conjunction with our U.K. friends
Fat chance with Abdullah Starmer. WEF Pawn it is. This link to Ireland is long overdue
and all of you "armchair experts " who scream "bring back BR ",- "good old BR ", -- "should have never privatised the railway" ,etc, etc - you all seem to be ignorantly unaware that there WERE a high proportion of private companies involved in the successful east coast electrification project- " good old BR " just simply contracted MOST of the work out to outside private industry !!
Ahh.. the Trouse swing bridge . I feel all warm and proud in my English heart at the very thought of it. Not like bridges these days, rubbish they are. And foreign
I saw the first class 91 delivered to Bounds Green Depot from the end of a platform at Alexandra Palace Station and while being shunted into the sheds it derailed.
Ahh the dulcet tones of John Huntly, I remember his Narration of things like Diesels on film from the 1960's.
At ipswich the tunnel roof was not raised but the track was lowered by removing the sleepers and setting the rails on a concrete floor!
It was also lowered again around 2003/2004 to allow for the 9'6" containers, I lived in Ipswich at the time & remember the buses running between there & Manningtree.
@@TechnoJonny Yep, and it's still dripping wet.
How very 80s! 😁 Most of that equipment is still looking in good condition now, nearly 40 years on. That said, we didn't get the "more comfortable trains" as such for quite some time - the Mk2D rolling stock remained for another 20 years! Albeit hauled by an AC leccy rather than a tractor. The Mk3 sets were good, albeit dated looking (never fully refurbished like the ECML mk3 sets). Arguably better than the EMUs that have since replaced them.
Mk3’s a 100% more comfortable than the new stock with their iron board seats and harsh rocking ride.
@@paulwright5728 The seats in the Sadler units are actually some of the better offerings among the new fleets - Certainly better than the awful ones on the IETs. I agree the ride and overall refinement is a backward step though.
Christ on a bike. The HSE today would have a field day with those lads. 5 miles of track would have been juiced up before the inductions of today reached H&S mandatory rest break 🙄

omg NO WAY ive been looking for this for years!!! thank you!!!

jon zabs now lner driver and 125 group is the lad with the cap on 1st loco over the bridge at norwich at first droplight
Good that they let Zippy from Rainbow narrate this video 👌🏼😂
hahahahaha!
There was a Zippy at Ipswich Train Crews who helped work all these trains 👍
that was electrifying
Interesting how health and safety has changed lol
Rail replacement bus treated as a bonus - things truly were different 😂
I find it amazing that when they were building the new bridge they kept it as single track rather than taking the opportunity to double it and remove a pinchpoint.
It's worse than that - it went from double track to single track!
The problem was: the ‘electrified swing bridge’ was a new concept for BR, so they needed to maximise the chances of it working reliably - ergo single line. Several other new features were being developed to assist this electrification project. Certainly the place to be during the 80’s…
shame the new bridge turned out to be as mechanically unreliable as the old one at swinging, though maybe the drop in river traffic exacerbated it, but its become basically a fixed structure in all but name now. In fact they were so worried the bridge wouldnt return to its proper position the last time they let it be moved they had a crane on standby to haul it back just in case, fortunately not needed. But its been on the list of Network Rail projects to be replaced for the last decade, theyll get round to it when they find money for it.
That was British rail for you . There are lots of things they did that didn't make much sense.
Veŕy interesting, thanks for posting. When I was a BR Signalman, I rarely refused weekend or night turns for P-way engineering work. Not just for the money, but it was quite interesting sometimes to see.or be involved; getting works trains to and from the job. A (sometimes) interesting variety from routine working.
I can never understand the modern day rail unions / workers striking and refusing to work overtime When I worked people were always too glad to earn some extra money
@@chrisgironde6669When railway jobs are cut and the ones left squeezed their hours into making overtime the norm, a lot of people won’t be happy.
When I did Pway weekend work as a Handsignalman , I enjoyed Sleeping in the Signal Box . 😁😁👍
@@ianjones4116same as me when commissioning telephone exchanges. Integration testing was done at night (8pm-8am at time+half👍). Sign in at 8pm then down the pub until closing time, back to our camp beds in the medical room with alarm set for 5am. #goodolddays
Quick and efficient engineering work by the old unified BR - a thing of the past... 😞
Narration by Mr Cholmondeley-Warner, LOL!
Or was it Grayson ?
More like Zippy from rainbow
I’m not sure many rail passengers really see rail replacement buses as a bonus!
hi viz round his waist lol
Health and safety would have multiple fits and seizures if it was today.
Hey lets get the english people to pay for this ....then chaapppsss , we can sell it to ourselves ...whatto , jolly good show... all for one ...all for us ....
The Great Con that is 'Privatisation'!
Oh look .....just what the english people paid for , only to be stolen from us by the imperialist elite to sell to themselves ...oh whatto chapps , tally ho ho ho ..
How did the OLE separate when bridge moved?
That's what I wanted to know
I think the point was that it didn't ... because it didn't exist ... the line wasn't previously electrified, which is why when they came to wire it up in the mid-80s they had to replace the swing bridge.
So is it wired now ?? @@stevieinselby
@@ianjones4116 Yes it is, the conductor is a solid bar rather than a wire.
@@ianjones4116 yes, but it uses a conductor wire instead just like on the Thameslink Core through St Pancras Low Level and the Severn & Chipping Sodbury Tunnels
As someone who used to live a stone's throw from Crown Point depot, I really enjoyed this! The new bridge and all the electrification was in place by the time I knew it (early 90s) and I remember the old power station well. So it was cool to see what it all looked like in the "old days" before that change. Power station is long gone now, as are the 86/47 + mk2 sets.
I vaguely remember the old power station as I only visited the area when I was little, but I agree, knowing it now (from 90s onwards) it's so fascinating what it use to look like.
Narrated by the late John Huntley.
Thought it was David Mitchell
Really enjoyed this, thx.
Great video, nice channel, subbed!
Enjoyed watching this , thanks
When ecnl had decent trains.
When this country still had brains and free from mass corruption. Great days them.
* Dissolves expanded polystyrene with xylene * "Should we consider the environmental impact?" "The what? Haha"
It was 1986 87
When I saw it I was like “wait, hold on… WHAT?”
Did they pump it out or just let it seep away into the soil I wonder.... Hopefully not the latter! Completely different technique used today of course. All pile driven foundations, no concrete.
@@soundseeker63 The latter, I'm sure, and not one hoot would've been given. It wasn't the fault of the workers; there was simply less environmental consideration in those days.
Did the Queen Mother name the train the Royal ANGLICAN Regiment?
She did lol
@@SpiritmanProductions😅
Yes
I can't believe they spelt it wrong on the name plate 😂

Excellent film
need an intelligent dnb remix of that intro music
Super Space !!!!!!
Trains looked like proper trains in Britain back in those days. Not the plastic junk interiors with horrendously uncomfortable seats they have nowadays.
Can somebody please upload the whole album of "Classical Force" (DWS/LP 3581) one day please
That was fantastic
When I first went on the Intercity 225 as a boy of 11 in 1992 I was simply blown away by the looks, speed, comfort and sheer plushnuss. I travelled from Kings Cross to Retford and loved every second. I travelled regularly on them, largely in thanks to my dad who worked on the railway so it cost very very little. Now we have absolute crap running that is uncomfortable and boring to look at. Such a shame.

Though it's fashionable to criticise British Rail as the ultimate failure of a nationalised industry, films like this show that by the late 80s and early 90s, BR was finally on the right track (pun intended). Of course, to the Tory mind, this just meant it was now ripe for privatisation. Just imagine what our railway network would be like today if this 'successful' version of BR had been allowed to continue. Instead we got privatisation, Railtrack, Potter's Bar, franchises regularly going pop (especially on the ECML), excessive goverment interference.
Privatisation was going to happen anyway, as the UK gov. was motivated by the EEC (later EU)’s directive to separate rail infrastructure and operations. If only British Rail was sold off as one, things wouldn’t be needlessly complicated it is now.
I grew up travelling on BR a lot, it wasn't perfect, but by god it was a paragon of efficiency and comfort compared to the current shit show.
I just realised that the Intercity 225 is metric.
A shame they’ve never increased the loading gauge.
And we think the "green" revolution is a new thing.... shame our railways still don't get the investment they deserve.
It was crap before privatisation and is still crap. Stop looking back in rose-tinted glasses. Not fit for purpose then or now.
