Trains at Peterborough 1989 - 1990

Looking back 30 years will bring back memories for many, plenty of action and variety in this Video of Peterborough , Class 91, HSTs, 31, 37, 47, 20, DMUs. I do hope you enjoy watching, please let me know in the comments.

That 91 with the 43 on the rear was very hard for my brain to process that they were on the same train, same for my friends when I showed them
Amazing videos wish trains like these were running more often

I really appreciate the video Roy. This will be a great resource to reference when I build my 1980s layout in oo gauge 😊.

Absolutely brilliant footage Roy. All so interesting, particularly the Class 91 test workings and the Civil Engineers trains. Nice to see the Met Camm Class 101 DMUs, and I never realised the Class 128 parcels DMUs got to Peterborough. Great reference here for modellers of the period. All so good, I didn't want the video to end!
Thanks very much for posting your British Rail era videos. I enjoy them all.

Brilliant Roy. Spent my childhood spotting days in and around Peterborough. Always a busy railway location. Of course, in those days the grand old covered station existed with the 20/25mph speed restriction on the main up & down. To this day I recall watching green Deltics (most then un-named!), and listening to them, taps fully open as they accelerated away at night - and I lived 2 miles away. New England MPD was in its last year. Amazing times, the like of which we will never see, or hear, again. Thanks for uploading, and especially for spending the time to film the March line traffic coming into the city over the river bridge. Superb.

Roy Thanks for the trip down memory lane, fantastic selection of different locos and DMUs no endless class 66's on block trains, to think this was just another normal day at Peterborough and what do you get today, and as for the sounds of the different locos, wonderful

Glad you enjoyed it John.

[@johnemsden735]

@@royharrison4122 I have enjoyed all your videos but the ones from the 80's brings back such wonderful memory's from my time, what a difference from todays offerings suck a variety of locos and units and how busy the railways were

[@PerthMRC]

Another great video, thanks for uploading an interesting period with the 91s being tested. The 91 with the red Mk1 was a but u expected.

Excellent Roy, cheers for uploading. So much has changed in terms of the stock and yet also a lot of it has stayed the same!

6:20 the test train starting its record run.

[@richardstout6364]

Always thought the hst powercars where just idling to provide power to the coaches HST stock using different system to loco hauled stock, but seems the 91’s where also able to control their power too…….

[@andrewsnowden1224]

Not a 66 in sight!

[@ClydebridgeStation]

The DVT with the Metro Cammell branding on the nose, is 82200. It was the only DVT to carry this, and was later replaced with a swallow motif.

[@royharrison4122]

Ah, one of the Class 91/HST hybrids, interesting

[@royharrison4122]

Glad you found it of interest Andrei.

[@gs425]

@@royharrison4122 why did they do that do you know?

[@AndreiTupolev]

@@gs425 it was when the 91s were being tested/accumulating mileage, they were used on Peterborough commuter trains and KX - Leeds workings on HST sets in place of one power car until the Mk 4 stock was ready

[@gs425]

@@AndreiTupolev Thanks for the info

What's going on at 20:21

[@royharrison4122]

That was a Class 91 Test train.

[@neilmarktaylor4386]

Back in the day you could not understand one word the announcer said

[@gs425]

A mail coach on a 225 set? Really?

[@AndreiTupolev]

That was when they were testing the 91s on Peterborough commuter trains and they put them on whatever rakes of rolling stock were to hand
