Trains In The 1980's - Saltash, Summer 1987

A short visit to Saltash, the first(or last!)station in Cornwall during my Summer holiday there over 25 years ago! A couple of HST's are seen, along with 47237 and some interesting china clag wagons, plus Network South East 50 and rake of Mk1's on a Plymouth to Penzance local. Just a shame the weather was dull and foggy not allowing better shots of the magnificent Royal Albert Bridge over the Tamar between Devon and Cornwall.

Excellent video - very interesting. Great shots of the 50 in NSE livery and of the Royal Albert Bridge.

Thanks Ian. Wish the weather had been better, but nice to get the 50 on Mk1's, and with a blue parcel coach on the rear if you noticed.

Great footage, I miss that footbridge.

Thanks Sam. Next one is just uploaded(Plymouth from the same day as Saltash)and much more to come. If you can get some of your Dad's cine film on 70's ECML uploaded that will be mega!

Brilliant bit of Nostalgia Darren. Most enjoyable. I wonder what else you have hidden in your loco toolbox.

[@NapierNimbus]

Great shots there Darren - lovely sounds from the Valentas and great to see the 50 on the local service

Thank you Keith. I've hours of footage hidden in my loco toolbox as you put it - what area do you fancy next and i'll see what i've got?

[@MrDeltic15]

Thanks, and i will - Plymouth from the same day coming next!

[@MrDeltic15]

Very true, wish it was more like that today!
