Reminds me of my youth, there used to be walk way around the side of the LIP, like a bird cage. Used to be a chap with the wildest fuzzy hair used to spot there, he was like the TOP’s god 😂 weekends were so busy with movements from Burton & Coalville grid heaven.
Great video! Does a staff member keep on walking towards you to check on you? Did when I was there on Tuesday. Can't believe you are not allowed to pass the yellow line either. The D6832 & 37003 are looking in bad shape now 😪 Love you channel
Leicester station looks a mess with all them shrubs between the tracks, it never use to be like this, and I haven't been there since 2011, it makes a change to see the old British Locos, being shunted and not the imported trains. And on a last note does anybody know if Leicester is getting the electrification treatment, track relaying and signal work and a extra platforms in the new station refurbishment, as I heard the whole of the line is to be electrified by the end of 2023, it seems like it is either along way off from ever happening, or it is only going as far as Market Harborough and Corby.
Nice bit of old-school loco action in that yard 🤩
Wow THE CITY OF TRURO. I used to see that so often in my train spotting days in the 80s. Happy memories
Great video, I loved the BR blue days... by around 1985 I had seen all the class 50s and the first 56 at Westbury.

Was that a class 31 with no livery? Nice footage, thanks
Great vid, thanks, is 47843 Vulcan still there pls ?
No way! Is that a 58 at the back once the 37 moves?
Yes - There is a preserved class 58 at Leicester LIP 👌👍
Was that the Duchess in the background?
it is
Tas been a tad busy in Leicester
🚂💚💚💚💯👍185
Wow, this is not preservation but active?
Hi Neil, yes this is an active mainline depot. 👍
Correct me if i’m wrong but is the 25/26 going to be mainline operational?
Brilliant stuff as always though.
Cheers, Liam
I’m not sure to be honest - Hopefully someone will come along and be able to answer that.
It's a class 27 as it has a headcode box.
@@TRTX-em8kl not a fond knowledge on these mate, i stand corrected
D5410 (27059) ex Severn Valley Railway
Is 37905 due to return to mainline anytime soon? Also is that a 26 in front of 56103?
Its a 27
It’s appreciated this yard always different ⭐️👌🦺
