British Rail-Darlington & Eaglescliff August 1988

5 жыл бұрынA nice mix BR vid now. Starting at Darlington with some nice Valenta HST thrash we see a couple of freight trains (coal & oil) along with a Met-Cam DMU. Later i traveled to Eaglescliff, a desolate spot but was (still is?) busy with freight traffic. The station is a shadow of its former self, at one time it had 4 platforms (2 islands) with various station facilities but now is a wind-swept shack with bugger all there! But i did capture an unusual visitor in that green 45 106 came creeping along running light engine, this was only the fourth one i ever videoed and the last Peak until class 46 Ixion came back to the main line. Loco classes seen on this vid are 37, 45, 47, 56, HST, 101 & 143. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Great to see those 37 5’s from Thornaby, my Dad repaired those locos until the depots closure.

I went to an Open day there once back in 1992. I have more film from this area, back in 92 i stayed with a friend in Hartlepool and we travelled around by car to various locations, one of which was footbridge near the depot where you could see locos & trains moving around Tees yard and the TMD. I will have to get around to up-loading it.

Coach on the end at 1:55 is one of the original 1972 HST prototype MK3 coaches, they have different window frames to the production MK3s

The HSTs look like they still have their rear cabs!

All HST sets ran with a power car at each end. They have never worked booked trains any other way.....

I was amazed when i saw it coming along from the Northallerton direction. It was the last one running by then and used on railtours. maybe it was off to Thornaby so drivers there could have a refresher for a future tour?

Seeing the Peak there was unusual, especially as it was just about the last one in traffic by then.

Can really see the difference at Darlington between then (without overhead wires) too what it is now, bet the two HST's going to Newcastle and the DMU to Bishop Auckland I've done that line a million times if not more

As station go I don't like to film that much at Darlington, but Eaglescliff I like more. Thank you for passing on this link. Pleased feel free to comment on any of my video on my channel.
