- It's July 1991 and i'm in Hertfordshire. We see Freight, Parcels, Light Engines, Inter-City and Network SouthEast trains at work at Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City and Potters Bar. Classes seen are 47, 56, 58, 60, Inter-City 125 HST, 313 & 317. Highlights are the VSOE on a charter train and a pair of double headed class 60s running light engine. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
Excellent footage thanks for sharing 👍
Harpenden, my home town, with many memories of trainspotting in the late 1950s/early 60s - steam trains, long coal trains, and the occasional trip by train to Welwyn Garden City by train from Harpenden East.
got to love the noise a PEP makes when pulling away
Nice video!
Everything was moving so fast here! The 43's, the 47's, the 56's. Even the 58's!
The Class 60's, not so much. I know you don't like me to bash at them so much, but from all the videos I've seen, they haven't proved themselves to me.
Anyways, cool video!
Class 60s were great to drive, smoothest ride of any locomotive and plenty of power....just lacking the thrash of a 37!
47635 would've been a strange visitor to the Midland main line on account of its Highland Rail logo.
Not really.... by now it was a Res Parcels Sector loco and no longer a Scottish one, the internal Scottish trains it used to work now in the hands of class 158 Sprinters.....
Would 60001 and 60002 have been on a test run from Loughborough ?
I suspect so..... i had already seen another pair on the Radlett Redlands stone working earlier.....
Two of the 47s worth mentioning. 47635 is now preserved at the Epping Ongar railway, and has regained its name, Jimmy Milne. 47468, which was hauling the parcels train, was stripped of ETS equipment, at the end of 1991, repainted into civil engineering livery, and renumbered 47300.
4:16 how come theres a 319 here
Because they worked the Thameslink services on the Midland Main Line.......I wish now that i had filmed a whole lot more of them.....
