I looked a few of the 09s up and sadly they’ve been cut up. Quite sad to see something in scrap condition when it could be cut up any day.

Music to my ears

Awesome acceleration!

Now that's how cross-country travel should be, not sticking a 2/3 car 158 for a 2.5 hour trip!

Westerns an all time favourite with me And at Exeter St Davids!! 😊😊and more😊😊

Why 2 engines on? Surley 1 could pull these coaches?

What happened to the music

My grandfather and I spent a fair bit of our working lives at Margam. My grandfather when it first opened in the early 60s then again in the late 60s, and myself from '93 until it closed as a traincrew depot.

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 77 Octagon and Every 47 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13, unique small no.11 and unique small no.10 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.

plan the video before it happens, and nothing worse than sitting and listening to someone take photos

This really is what it says it is !! 🥰

They don’t half accelerate, Terrific.

Two huge mothers laying down the law - Nice!!

Powerful beasties

In a far off corner, many miles away, Greta Thunburg sits, quietly sobbing....

Does DB stand for David Brown then .

That DB red paint scheme really suits the 37's! 🚂👍

Thanks for recording this - not the best end for such great machines but fascinating to see. Sometimes we never know what great locos and locations that this country has....till it's virtually gone...

Nice 👍

I never knew shutters had wooden doors

The level crossing alarm sounds like a fire alarm

A simply orgasmic grand finale! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Spent a year as a second man 87 to 88 after transferring from Waterloo Great depot great staff to work with and always a pot of tea on the go ...well almost always

R.I.P To 66402 2003-2012

Which station is that? Looks very quaint.

I was a guard Woking class 9 trains in and out of the yard .in the 70s when the Forman said you’re engine and van. Home early finish out to the pub meet the boys from swansea eastern depot in cape Horner 🍻🍻🍻

Must admit that the DB Schenker livery looks very good on the Class 37.

Why did margam depot and yard just become a yard of scrap or withdrawn diesel locomotives

That is quite simply rail porn at its finest & that thrash is majestic 🙏👏🇬🇧👍

Excellent Footage mate 👍

Thanks. My gran used to live near that bridge (Sankeys?) and on visits as a child, we used to walk to see the trains passing to/from the station.

she had dark pink makeup

oh no I am scared of day out with thomas

0:40 I been having nightmare about the daisy

hi ..good piccys! a couple from our place..Crewe Works! Been there for 46 years!..still there! by the way..whats the tune??

Thanks for posting,boy did these photographs bring back some memories of simpler times!

Margam was once a MASSIVE marshalling yard, among the biggest in the UK before the advent of the car, sidings everywhere far bigger than even in this video. A real pity there's no documentaries of it in action on the internet, just photos.

Will the diesel locos ever have the romanticism of their steam forefathers, only time will tell....................... I’m not even a train buff but this is sad to see ☹️

Gee the torque

Is anything still left of this place

Wow.....

Filthy smelly things thank god for electric trains

Sad to see all them engines going for scrap .

Nostalgic footage. The music is a strange dichotomy of rather cringeworthy and somewhat soothing; the sort that used to accompany pages from Ceefax late at night on BBC2?

Sound so much better than 55s.

You know EWS really stood for "Every Working (loco) Scrapped"...

Amasing how we can stand next to a 1000tonner whizing past at 1mtr away( no safety fence) but watching bikes/cars at a track is like being an animal in a zoo......!

I bunked that depot so many times in the late 80's, that video is almost surreal and hard to believe, we would go down there to get the NEW high numbered 37's, also Radyr and Llantrisant, CF and LE, cut down cab 08's. How sad but a great video all the same mate. I saw those 09's operational in happier days on the southern region.

56062 recovered from down an embankment at Copyhold junction and completely rebuilt. Sad to see it like this.
