Whitacre Junction (W. Midlands) on 9th June 1997
+ Sutton park
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Whitacre Junction, just East of Water Orton in the west Midlands. A busy junction with a connection to Nuneaton and also towards Birch Coppice. Passenger and freight services were seen with Locomotive classes 31, 37, and 58 in Mainline and Transrail Liveries. Passenger trains were in the hands of Sprinters. I have tagged onto the end of this video a shot from Sutton Park, which was filmed earlier in the day and only managed to witness a single Class 37 running LE. 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 that have subscribed and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
Great video, must have been some engineering work going on somewhere with all that ballast running about, and the double Mainline blue 37's were a great catch.
Thanks for sharing, regards, Colin.
You're most welcome Colin as always and my sincere wishes to you....Mark
excellent video!
Many thanks and my sincere regards as always....Mark

@@timstrainvideos142 yes I think we did meet in Lancaster......how time flies...more of Switzerland and Italy coming....Many thanks Tim and my sincere wishes....Mark
Lovely bit of nostalgia, thanks for sharing. Out of interest, do you have any footage from the North London Line, please?
You're most welcome....and yes I do have some freight on the NLL, see the Acton Wells Jct, some passes along the Richmond route, maybe this is not where you mean, but I have quite a lot of more recent Digital material filmed around Willesden HL and along towards Stratford. It will get uploaded but not for a while yet as I have prioritised the older VHS material before it becomes unwatchable due to age.....I promise It will get posted and some may already be out there amongst the Nick Winfield yearly reviews.... Many thanks and best regards Julian....Mark
Superb footage of BR freight.
Many thanks and best wishes Neil.....Mark
The date happened to be my 27th birthday - half a lifetime ago, as I am now 54!
It is incredible just how time has gone by and what has occurred in that time......Many thanks Angela and best wishes....Mark
Used to be a station there with a branch running to Hampton In Arden
Yes I captured the old station in an earlier video....They should have kept it....Many thanks Jamie and best wishes to you....Mark
Brilliant 👍..
You're too kind Ian.....Many thanks and best regards....Mark
Cracking better than the European stuff you have uploaded recently.
Many thanks James......I have a lot of European material to come as 1998-2001 was when I really concentrated on the continent, but there still is a lot more BR video to come and in better definition as I went onto broadcast format.....so do keep checking for BR stuff....One of NW's End of year review coming soon......Best wishes...Mark
I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Scania N112, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Scania N112, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
That is a question I could not possibly attempt to answer, but many thanks...Mark
