A nice look back in time. I remember the 73s on coal traffic to Colmec at Tolworth and Charringtons at Chessington, also belting through Surbiton on various duties inc passenger, mail, parcels, newspaper trains and the occasional ballast or engineering train. Clapham Jct was a busy place for them, the Gat-ex services, and as well as the other passenger and mail/parcel traffic, empty coaching stock moves between Waterloo and the yard at Clapham Jct. Thanks, brought back many memories.

Yeap for sure and good to see that 73's still in Service hauling the Beds!
Great footage 👍
Thank you, they were certainly the good days!
Remember the 73s on medway valley line.they still do go on that line but mainly 66s on the freight trains now
Brilliant video with good traction motor noise.
Thank you!
I hope you have enjoyed some of my other stuff as well?
I’ll certainly be having a browse. Thanks for your good work.
I wish I had concentrated more on video rather than taking photos as well!
@@paekokstationmaster5032 You‘ve produced quite a few videos though which I’m looking forward to viewing.
