l like the startup on class 37674 and I like the idle as well and I love the starter motor when the engine is trying to startup

Wow...

You can see Keith from smile video further down the platform

Absolutely fantastic Do they still open this bridge? Always closed when we’ve driven past it 👍

Hey Richard, some awesme cips! I just wondered if I was able to use some of these clips and your other MML clips for videos I am making about the MML? With credit of course! Thank you

When trains were real trains

I live very close to these crossings & I’ve seen numerous waggon crossings over the years. Sadly during the last 6 mths or so they have been few & far between.

I could watch a KZbin video of 4SUB doors slamming all day long. Add the shrill whistle, ....pause..., air brakes off, creak creak, traction motors starting off with a low pitched woooooo, steadily increasing in pitch as speed picks up, the clickety-clack likewise, finally the last bogie passes by with a lone ty-clack, and the still increasing pitched woooooo of the motors fades away, London Bridge bound. Bring it back. The sounds still reverberate in my head from over 60 years ago. Especially that G-DUNK of the doors.

Let's forget the technology, let's even forget the style, I'm 34 but I'm fully aware that Britain will never ever be as happy and sweet as it once was. 😢😢😥😥

3CIG ??

Nostalgia

He jumped off the shunter gracefully

Beefy sound of that engine powering up!

Wow!!

Gorgeous motor scream!!

l don't think this was the very last one !! As it departed at 19:29 !! The last one of the evening was 21:59 to Lymington .The changeover to the new stock would have been the next day from the next morning !! Why would they change over to the new trains half way through the evening's service ?

Mark Carter is the Guard on this who steps out of the train at 05:48 and can be seen @06:09 leaning out the window as the train departs !!

0:24 I heard screaming

I remember seeing my last slam door train. Many years ago, standing at Ashford International Station after they'd all been pretty much discontinued. There was just one train that caused a massive noise as it came in. Rattling and rolling as it came in. It was a London Bridge to Dover Priory train. Slam door. Will never forget it.

I have GOT to get to this line soon. I grew up in Dorking and we had the Tadpole Units that were 205 thumpers and just seeing the inside of this with the luggage racks, the lights, everything, is magical!

The HST called at Harpenden ?

What camera do you use the quality is great?

Great video

Where is it?

I'm glad you got a video of it before it got abandoned!

Heart warming, and beyond Brundall a glimpse of the old railway.

That looks very cool. 😃

The dead silence when the train is stopped at a station (no air conditioning) and all you hear is the slamming sound of the doors. Then the sudden jerk forwards (all that inrush current to the motors) as the train starts to move with a squeaky sound.

Why is this train only a 3 set as they was all 4 sets

Missed the party, but still would like to say that this has been done in a light heartedly acceptable way! I loved this old line back then, and nostalgically and sentimentally still do now! Cheers

Wow! Nice shot. I've never seen that before in my life. Very rare that is. Very rare.

I always tried to get a seat in the only 2nd class compartment behind the cab. Preferably unoccupied, then it was window open and head hanging outside to watch the sparks flying. Happy days

I can smell the mildew now! The story of my childhood near Clapham Junction, these are.

Can't believe I've only just found your channel Richard (having bought nearly all your AP products). Great video! Nice to have footage of these units in such high quality. Thanks for making it.

What was your audio set up at this time it sounds so clear?

I'm trying to find parts 1 & 2!

That compressor noise takes me straight back! Funny how little things like that can transport you back almost a lifetime!

hehe these were the days, swinging on the doors whilst the train was still going fast before stopping at a platform, a smoking guard coming to tell you off, trying to help someone swing down the bridge bit to get a bike on the only part a bike could go next to the guards little seating room and hoping no other bikes were in there, the slamming of doors, opening door windows to open the doors from the outside as the little crappy sliding metal thing on the inside was stuck solid, a rattling noise as the train person half-heartedly when he could be bothered to do so told you on the rubbish fuzzy radio what the next station was going to be, and so many other cool things that are now missing. Its so odd but they were just better trains, and most certainly better days!

A sight which will soon be gone from British Railways.

I do hope Mayflower can run backwards at 75mph, travelling just as fast as she goes forwards.

How can traction make me feel so emotional when I hear the class of the engines as it moves off😢😢😢icons of the 🛤 railway

I've worked HSTs, 222 meridians and 170 turbostars

As you see in my picture there I was a TM on MML for 8 years then in ticket office for 8 years

Before I was born this video was already posted, cool

Would I be right in thinking a lot of trackage has been broken up? It seems that in older videos tracks go anywhere in this area.

We use to always feel sorry for our Disabled travellers as they always went into the Brake Van. The filthiest part of the Train.

That's me 😎

i was not even born when this video was posted

712 was one of the last 47/7's I had out of Aberdeen before the switch to 158. awesome sound.
