- It's May 1993 and it's evening time at Watford Junction. The usual Inter-City workings are seen hauled by class 86, 87 & 90s along with an Inter-City 125 on a Holyhead working. There's a class 47 hauled Pullman charter train plus one on Cargowagons plus class 90s on freight & parcels trains. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
Great footage, many thanks for uploading. Brought back many memories of good old BR. I spent many hours there at the same spot at Watford Junction with a still camera, and often thought since how nice it would have been to see and hear video of the action. So I particularly enjoyed this. Thanks again! Have subscribed.
Thank you.... I'm pleased you enjoyed this upload, here is another Watford vid from 1991 ua-cam.com/video/ZpEpkrG1I4Y/v-deo.html
when i was growing up in England this was my local stn and Carpenders Park... wow the memories, beautiful MK1 buffet in the rake hauled by the 87..
Yeah Bushey was my local.
Notice the HST had the first class at the country end, not the London end. This always happened with the Holyheads, after they went over to HST operation in October 1991. The HSTs used came from the Old Oak allocation, and the routing used to get them to London, reversing at Willesden, resulted in them being wrong way round at Euston.
interesting
that explains thing
Yes, one the Wst Coast had its own sets allocated (based at Longsight) they had them run with 1st at the London end.....
I used to often spend an evening at Watford Jct. I particularly liked the sounds of the 86s and 87s powering up. That train at3:55behind 87019 was a little unusual by that time; still a Mk 1 buffet and no DVT. In fact it seemed to be formed of all first class stock
Yes, strange to see such a rake this late in the 1990s....
Some awesome action the nice video thanks
Excellent compilation 👍
Thank you..... just the regular traffic passing by back in those days.....
Another great ‘memory jogging’ upload. Thks.
Lively collection of memories there, thank you.
My pleasure......
Another great video. Thanks👍
My pleasure.....
Decent footage,proper traction then nice...
Amazing video of old traction ranging from 321s to Intercity Class 86,47,43,82and 90s
There was quite a variety of traction passing by in those days..... This was just after the end of the evening peak.
Great railway video as always Soi Buakhao
Thank you.....
Nice 2 c proper ic trains
👍👍👍 Would love to see your photo collection unless you were too busy with the video camera...
I did take photos as well but i concentrated on video. If i was at say Holyhaed there was time to take pics as well as video. Plus of course i was taking photos before i got the vid cam......
Great footage. The WCML used to have some geat locos. Boring Pendulinos and 66s now.
Don't forget the 350s.....lol Although you can see a 319 in the peaks.....
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus We used to get the 319 briefly on the Gatwick service when it first rocked up.
Do you have any memory what the all-First Class take was forming by any chance?
Empty stock would be my guess
@@vincitveritas3872 The presence of a Mk1 RBR with a white roof indicates a Charter Train.

7:13 - the 90s version of the statesman
