Another excellent Scottish video. Thanks for posting. I look forward to hopefully seeing some more.

Thanks for this. I grew up in the street behind the down sidings around the end of the platform. Good to see Carstairs busy.

Some great Roarer music on this one.

Fascinating seeing the class 87 on Iron Ore empties. Great stuff 🙂

Great video brining back so many memories for me, i have stood many times from where you were filming, the old number 2 signal box would have been just to your left, my grandparents lived directly opposite and my other grandparents lived on Park Avenue down the road where i was born many many moons ago now, both were railway families and I was the last having retired last year. Thank you for showing.

Absolutely superb footage. Happy memories. Thank you again 👍

great roarer action ty

Excellent once again.

Like the curious cows!

Another memory jogging film from what was a favourite haunt of mine, back in the day. I used virtually the same viewpoint, at the side of the road as well as down on the platform. A really good capture of early morning activity and the mist across the line certainly helped the atmosphere. Prior to the electrification of the Midcalder line to Edinburgh, there was much activity here with the diesel hauled Edinburgh portions being attached/uncoupled from the Anglo-Scottish services to/from Birmingham and beyond. Plus all the freight and postal traffic not seen in the urban areas. Many thanks for editing and sharing.

I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 67 Octagon and Every 37 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And Please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

Wow! @16:50 an 87 on freight is a rare bird

A much changed location! The tanker train, double headed by 37708 and 37188, the latter locomotive was a regular performer on the West Highland Line until the late 1980s. It also carried a name, "Jimmy Shand", after the famous Fife accordionist. The name must've been removed when it was repainted from large logo to petroleum.

Pair of 37s on a northbound Freightliner. I wonder where they came from.

That was brilliant. 🍻

Trying to work out the sleeper detachment there, fairly sure the IS went to Mossend with 90040, with portion for seated to GLC??(don’t remember that bit). I remember they were all separate around that time, the FTW (S07) went in to GLC and 37 via LL. Just not certain what 90030 was on.

I thought that would have been an Edinburgh portion that was detached from the northbound sleeper, but 90030 backed on an took it off to the north. So was that a Glasgow portion dropped off the Inverness/Fort William train?

Absolutely brilliant. I can only just about remember Carstairs Jcn being like this, but what great days. Please say you have more footage of Carstairs!?

What would the 86-hauled servive with a couple GUVs, BG, some Mk3s, what looks like 2 Mk2s, then some more Mk3s and a BG be? Possibly the Plymouth - Glasgow sleeper?

And what was 47518 doing? Had it arrived from Edinburgh and then run round and shunted into the up loop to await the rest of the training from Glasgow?

Much altered in the intervening years since......
