Indeed, 45144 carried the Toton 'rabbit' as many others did. Similar to the March 'hare'. Nice to see 45118, an early recipient of the 'orange ohl' warning stripe on the peaks. Cheers for sharing, brilliant memories!

Love class 45s so sad they scrapped them at least still some on our perseverd lines.

I loved taking those trains to Scarborough for my holidays with the folks. Now I live in Scarborough, and the trains aren't half as good as they once were. Such a pity.

thats what happens when arf wits like beeching get in power ending steam was the worst thing they ever did hands up if you agree all say yes .

@@timothysmith8300 We can't blame the end of steam power for the demise of Britain's railway system. The fact that Beeching was closing lines as steam was being phased out is purely coincidental. The worst thing that happened subsequently was privatisation during and beyond the 1980's.

When you wrote your comment in 2017, there were literally twice as many passenger journeys being made per year than in 1985. I think you're confused about when the "real railway" actually existed.

Sorry to be a kill joy here, but your year is out, 45118 was withdrawn from service in May '87. However that aside cracking vid, 118 was also my favourite Peak, so thanks for posting.

And the following year 150/2 sprinters took over which were not fit for purpose for a long distance service

Well I never. 45144: a fairly regular machine on my commute trains in 1977/78 - 07.27 Luton St.Pancras & 17.06 St.Pancras to Bedford. Memories!!

The Royal Artilleryman...D67,originally. Peaks were and still are my favourites. Copped most of them, including the namers at Draycott ,rushing to and from St.Pancras. Can even remember them passing through to and from Manchester Central, (that ceased in 1967 or 8.)

Wonderful stuff. As has been said earlier, not 1988, as the Sprinter ruination of trans-pennine services had started. Looks more like 1987.

Amazing how much video and trains have changed since 1987. Wonderful locos, used to see them around Bristol and once or twice at Havant. Great video. would there be a chance of using some of the audio to go with a model rail video I am planning please?

Were they sparks coming from 45144 as it came to a stop? Strange, as I have a very vivd memory of waiting at York for an evening train back to Leeds as young kid and as it came in (hauled by a 45) an enormous shower of sparks started flying from the leading bogie as it entered the station.

Nice footage of BR Blue York, but think this is pre 1990 because the centre roads are still in between platforms 8 (3) and 9 (5) and there is no OHLE.

Whats the white rabbit on the peak mean Trevor.

@pete37038 12 жыл бұрын

The 'rabbit' i'd suggest is a Hare, ie March Hare, several class 31's had them but the Hares' were 'running'', this s different, that would be my guess though, ps this must have been 1987/88 at the very latest, no way it is 1990, 45144 and 118 were well gone by then, and there is no wires up in the station, also center roads still in, I'd guess at 1987.

seems an odd place to have a loco swap.

@PHKCA 7 жыл бұрын

That's how the diagrams went, a fully fuelled loco would come on at York, said loco would work to Scarborough and back to either Liverpool or North Wales, and return to York later in the evening, the loco that came off the train at York, would go for servicing and be fully fuelled as well, it would then go back on a service later, and do the same as the earlier loco that replaced it, hope that helps.
