Such extraordinary variety of rolling stock and traction. The last of the great days. Tracks still clickity-clacking. Everything still filthy. So much more exciting to young and old eyes.

In some ways this was a sad time for the railways as they were being run down before privatisation but on the other hand the diversity of old & new rolling stock along with all the different sectorisation liveries was awesome.

Wow, 47711! 'Greyfriars Bobby' from ScotRail days, would later be 'County of Hertfordshire'. Never seen a video clip of it until now.

took me right back to being a teenager! It's changed so much - very little of that rolling stock is still left, or operating on the same routes.

Except the 455s and they're due for replacement; great to see the new trains being made in Derby!

Another great video and a big jolt for my memory from those days - even Clapham in heart of emu land could be interesting! At 7:20 that was a very non-standard numbering style for the Class 37, plus BR double arrows at both cab ends!!?

Yes indeed, 37219 given a fresh coat of BR blue at Stratford TMD in March 1992 as she hadn't had an overhaul since Jan 1985!! They must of had some spare monastral blue to use up. 37216 was done in green at SF the same time.

Fantastic, those were the day's! All you get now are Desiro and Electrostar stuff all German except for the 159's :(

The Electrostars aren't German, they were made in Derby!

I was only about four when this was recorded - might be a stupid question, but when trains were loco-hauled, what happened at the destination? i.e. a train reaching Waterloo, did another loco come along to pick up the coaches and leave the original loco behind?

@SuperDiscovery95 9 жыл бұрын

The loco would detach from the train then run round it and attach back on it ready to go out again.

@Transport-UK 9 жыл бұрын

It was rare for a loco to round round its own train at a major station terminus like Waterloo, due to lack of points. Normally loco uncoupled from train and then only released from buffer stops once train had departed hauled by another loco. Loco released would be allowed to follow departing train up to signal. Driver had to be careful that departing train didn't stop suddenly (e.g. passenger pulled comm cord) otherwise loco might run into back of train. Nearly happened on a few occasions.

Thanks guys. Hard to imagine these days, don't suppose either of you have seen videos of that?

442 408 coaches look very similar to mk3 coaches, are they a similar design?
