I never knew PEAKS operated in the South West The drivers of the HST's were superb - if they saw anyone with a video camera they would GIVE IT THE BEANS and light up those Valentas AND GIVE YOU A HOOT! Thank you so much - I am old now and very fed up with todays world. THE 80's were THE BEST DAYS of my life when I had a few friends left and the UK wasnt so ruined with hatred and agression on the streets. THANK YOU.

SUPERB to see the old Peaks again and the odd Chopper. Class 30's, 33's awesome THESE were the days when it was WORTH trainspotting as there were so omany diesels all different today everything is electric and looks the same all rubbish! All we get now is the odd 37 0r a 47 How i wish we had high definition HDMI cameras in those days !

Thanks for the video. That Class 50 as 50041 sounded like a steam whistle on the first tone. Nice footage and useful for my planned scenarios for Train Simulator Classic I have planned.

Holy shits - it`s beatiful!!! Czy jakoś tak...

That 1st train has 13 on. The XC’s nowadays have 4 on 8 if you’re lucky. That’s privation for you..

Ah the sublime Paxton window..

7:51, that's the same date of my birthday (except the year)

should have kept the ( high line) open, disgraceful blinkered foresight by the council, the Central Station could have been a terminas and the High Street level crossing closed.

The Milwaukee Road Hiawatha F7 Baltic Steam Locomotice was faster.

9:35 That's such an evocative sequence from the Railway Museum, showing Meld and the APT prototype, with York Minster on the skyline. A happy time and place for so many of us.

a really good video nice to hear and the class 37 but views are really very good and it’s why it’s one of the best railway trips to do in the uk really nice to see the this video

Mallard is stunning A4

Mix wagons or freight cars, I don't suppose that happens anymore ?

Even the CL47 four wagons and a old 1940s type wagon st the end?. Wow

Two little wagons behind Class 31, u can see that being profitable run?

Yes, great memories, when the railways had character and comfort to travel in.

Great footage of one of the many lines we have sadly had taken away from us 😢❤

Dad gave the crew a pack of ciggies & I stòod on her footplate & blew her whistle at Kings Cross, in green livery, get her back on line again !

What was a class 33 doing in Spalding ?

Had the great pleasure of travelling a good part of this journey (Edinburgh-Pitlochry return) in an Inter7City Scotrail HST set in April , it was such a smooth and comfortable ride even with the tighter seats these days. And still the same smell from the brakes as when I first rode an HST in 1981!

OK here's a question: Are there as many preserved locos in any other class as in A4?

6:43 look at that flying Scotsman the worlds famous steam loco in the world is helping out its rival mallard the worlds fastest steam engine in the world by doing double header light engine movement

It's a lot dearer coming from Cambridge . You have to go to Stevenage and then go down Ecml to get to Spalding. Bloody stupid.

Enjoy that speed record while you can a4 mallard Because in 6 years PRR T1 5550 is about to beat it

Pure magic. If only I had one of those DeLorean time traveling cars, 1984 would be a set favourite. Thanks Roy.

Great seeing class 08242 moving, only ever saw it dumped in Holmes Yard in the late 80s with class 08386.

I think I was on that train with 5 little kids all headed for Skeggy. It broke down halfway and we were marooned for about 6 hours. We arrived in Skeg as the un set so had to cross to the other platform and go straight back home. No apologies no compensation and yet it has actually got worse since privatisation. Last twice I travelled by train I had the same experience - marooned for hours by both signals breakdowns and engine breakdowns. The heating in our carriage was stuck full on - in summer - and people were passing out from heatstroke.

Total waste. Should have kept line open

1:16 the mallard's whistle from train and rail yard simulator

Some interesting formations with the 91’s. 7,8 and 9 cars plus one with 2 buffets. When I used to go spotting in the Early 90’s only ever remember them pretty much being fixed Loco-9-DVT formations. Great Vid.

Those 37’s need the idle sorted out as for the 47 def.

Nice clag!!!

True Steampunk beauty 😍

The Real Northern Powerhouse as it was. Free of lies and Islamic Gangsters enabled by our so called government

Excellent!

Great filming, thank you

I was here then!

Loved the video. Thanks for sharing mate.

Choo choo

"I love these new pacers! I hope they stick around for ever!" -Someone in the 80s, probably

Even the rakes of carriages were interesting back then mk1s mk2s mk3s. Sometimes all in the same train. I love the peak in its unfinished paint work.

Ancasters brake van is still there in 2024.😮

Thank you so very much ❤

Fantastic memories ❤ not ever forgotten! X

Nothing wrong with the quality. We can see what we can and that's ok.

I love the fact there were foot crossings at these main line stations. Something I saw at this time in Portugal places such as Aveiro Espinho and Porto Campanha

nice, i love these old videos of railways

Always exciting as a child in the 70's riding this line with my mum & sister for s day out with the wind,spray &rain pounding the train window 😅

Wow that brought back some memories. I would have only been 10 at the time, but I have great memories of Worksop open days. Spoilt for choice for open days back then with Tinsley, Crewe, Coalville, Doncaster. I remember getting the special from Doncaster through Maltby and Dinnington.

So many great locos, I loved the 20's and the Peaks in the video. I remember school summer holiday visits to York and how exciting it was to see so many trains there.
