Interesting to see that the Night Riviera had so few sleeper carriages then, looks like mostly day coaches.

Why's the platform being used as a car park?

Better times than now.

Takes me back to the run down state of the BR network pre privatisation. I liked the Intercity livery as against rail blue but the overall run down state almost everywhere on BR at this time was heartbreaking. Love it or hate it privatisation has brought huge investment and change in attitude on our railway but to a point where ticket prices are getting beyond reach and subsidy is still required much to the annoyance of non rail users. The franchise system seems unreliable but what's the answer. Climate change could see a large reduction in car ownership but would public transport be needed at the present level if 15 minute cities and more working from home becomes the norm. I daren't mention HS2! Interesting video, liked and subscribed.

Great to see the Signalman’s car at the end of No 3 Platform, possibly belonged to “Monty.”

where were the Sleeper coaches taken to by the Class 08?

Lovely classic iconic BR footage before Privatisation ❤️love the sight of a Class 08 shutter pulling Inter City sleeper to passenger Carriages,There is something that is not seen every day to the DMU bubble cars ❤️love the Paxman Valenta sound ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Miss that sound 🥺

I like the way someone parked their car on the platform!

"One of two furthest point stations in the UK" depends on your perspective. From where I live, Dover is one of the two furthest points. Not to mention Derry/Londonderry Waterside which is of course in the UK, and has a very photogenic station.

Cor the filth pouring out of the DMU at the start. And to think people worked in that Atmosphere. All so much different to today's Penzance.

What there something wrong with that HST ?because is was blowing a lot of Exhaust

was the 101 off to Plymouth or Newton Abbott?

Car parked on a platform.., that was a thing!

Great video mate.

Nice look at Penzance station. I was amazed to see cars on the platform. I've ridden HST's in and out of there a few times. David.

I once did the paddington to penzance sleeper back in the early 80's.

Why was their blue smoke coming from underneath the power car?

Love the video. But what Queen Park doing on the End ????

Didn’t realise 1990 was so old fashioned!!!
