Those were the days Steve, still plenty of freight and plenty of tugs to pull them. Newport a shadow of what it was now. Great footage Steve and incidentaly, i have just uploaded one from your neck of the woods, Eastleigh in 1988. Take a look if you have some spare time. All the best, Colin.
Cheers Colin. Have just watched the Eastleigh clip, very enjoyable. Can recall getting some haulage behind those ED hauled trains whilst the REPs were having their Traction motors ripped out and slung under the 442's. Now whatever happened to them?!!

Just a shame about the weather on the day 🤥
