    Some incredible footage. Poor use for a 50 though. Thanks for posting!

    Yep 50s filled in in the later years on ballast trucks at weekends.

    Looking at the state of everything makes you realise that the railway in the 90s was massively unloved. Except by me of course!

    It’s hard to believe that it’s the traction motors that are sweating, doing the work, the diesel engine just ..‘pedals’…faster to produce more ..‘sparks’…to cane the traction motors!

    Can anybody explain to me why British rail was basically starved of funding and these private companies receive big fat subsidies ???????? Anybody.
