Stevenage Station On 28th October 1988
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Stevenage taken on 28/10/1988. During the introduction and high speed testing of the new class 91 locomotive and class 31's were still being utilised on newspaper trains. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
An ECML InterCity Pullman to finish? Great catch that man! Stevenage was my local station until 1985. 😎😎😎😎😎
You are most welcome and many thanks for watching and for commenting....best regards..Mark
Lovely to see. The blue glass building (the Eagle Insurance building) seen from the Southbound platform was sadly demolished in the last year or two.
Many thanks and my sincere best wishes to you for Xmas...Mark
I know this station well ,but I forgot that they used to store the gas bottles at the end of the platforms !
Kaboom !……many thanks and my sincere wishes…..Mark
Great film, I expect the place is overgrown and uncared for like most of Britains rail infrastructure now. Lovely 317s too.
You're most welcome....Many thanks for your comment and for watching...best wishes...Mark
To be fair, it hasn’t changed much at all apart from the extra platform.
@@BenDover-ln6ns True....Many thanks...Mark
Yeah, in all fairness it's mostly the same as it is here, with the addition of another platform and an expanded car park with multistorey block on the southbound side.
Most stations in the 80s were, frankly, filthy; soot from exhaust fumes, litter all over the track
And now it is weeds.....thanks Andrei....mark
