ahhhhh super super lovely…that VEP leaving at around 17mins into the video..driver looking out…me? i’d be giving the cameraman a big ole wave and an “AWIGHT SON!!!” i love this film..the skids of those slam doors always are with me. i used to kip over at my nan and Grandads in new malden back in the late 70s early 80s and i used to lay in bed quite late in the eve and i could she’s that familiar sounds of those wheels over in the distance near berrylands and know that the next day i’m would be over there getting in those trains for my trip out for the day. still very much there. i really never gave in liking those horrendous single headlights all the older stock had fitted around 1990/1…yea they were a safety standard requirement..but yuk..just got in the way of the look of those cab fronts..i know it seems superficial but much prefer those gangway doors left as they originally were. still never changed my love for all the older rolling stock. keep em coming chap…brilliant. so so sooooo glad this material and footage is still here..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Really enjoyed your video, thank you so much. May I ask where the Class 73 pulling intercity coaches / push pull units the Gatwick Express? Just curious
I am not too sure on this Michael, I have never seen such a formation before or since, somebody may come up with the answer...many thanks for your interest and best wishes....Mark
The class 47/73/33 combo at the start was a channel tunnel test train. The intercity liveried 33 (re numbered 83301) was fitted with Eurostar bogies and was semi-permanently coupled to and provided traction power to the 73. I believe it operated between Waterloo and Eastleigh to test 3rd rail current collection with the Eurostar bogies. A rare sight indeed!
Nice one oh door on the catch of the BIG but 33 years to late to stop. looking forward to 91 hope you do some Waterloo - Exeter with the last full year of Class 50's. is it a new camera then? Quality looks cleaner.
ahhhhh
super super

Many of them were the Gatwick Express.
