Fantastic video it has give me flashbacks of many happy memories as I grew up with those DEMUs and I always loved travelling on. Even that announcement at 3:56 is a nice throwback to the good days. The changes NIR has went through over the years is unbelievable and now we have one of most reliable and modern railways in the UK.

what a difference 34 years makes, I used too attend this event every year and I stopped going just after COVID because it became a event full of chavs

This is the "Inbound" night ferry from Paris to London I take it? Filmed at around 8am in the morning?

It’s all the world had of getting around after the horse, tortured steam, trapped and tortured steam, it worked, it was labour intensive, so what, that’s what you had to do to move hundreds of people around at ten times the speed of a horse carrying a fifty times more people!!!

Grass roots steam, no messing around

I attended all Rail fairs. I watch these old videos to see if I'm in any of them. It's unfortunate that UP won't allow the Daylight to run on their line and it's a shame that the railroad museum doesn't try to put another rail fair together.

Isn’t the moving image a fantastic Time Machine…to see the past bought back in only way possible.

Great footage. Especially of the yards towards the end, there’s always been a load of old junk lying around those yards. it got me thinking - the railway hadn’t been reopened long at all in 1990, so how come there’s already all the old stock lying around such as what we see around the 12:16 and 13:00 mark. It’s all narrow gauge stuff so can’t have been from the old branch line? So where did it come from?

Interesting video! Happy New Year!

Well that's changed a lot!

Great video! Such a shame this line is currently closed.

Interesting video. Good to see cab ride to Cardiff Bay.

I'm looking forward to seeing her running at Beamish.

Great to see this wonderful era!

Interesting to see this progressing. I'm looking forward to the days its connected to Dereham.

Great to see this recorded.

Went as a kid amazing place the cavern and narow gauge museum we back with my wife to show her but it had gone by then such a loss Did all the rolling stock find new homes

A most horrible town today voted worst town in England 3 times on the trot.

Third world rolling stock. Yet the cattle rolled along with glum bakes and a wee lunchbox.

I understand that most rail rolling stock went to Ribble, but what about the urban vehicles (trams, trolleybuses, buses, steamrollers, etc)?

Thank you sir

Thank you for this wonderful video. I live there in this region and it is really cool to see how the trains and technology have changed over 32 years, but the turquoise roofing of the station Zell am See is still the same.

choo choo and 90's cars , heaven <3

Hi Nicholas, I am unsure if there is a better way to contact yourself, but I am currently working on a small documentary on the 80 Class railcar and would love to use some of your brilliant footage. If that would be alright, let me know, there will be a full list of credits in the video also, of course.

Wow makes me feel old watching this with the old 116 units my late dad was a guard on the rhymney line back in the 70s even the 150s are going soon a excellent blast from the past 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Why hasnt Aylesford station level crossing have wigwags?

How ashamed as the once only very short lived transport theme park known as TRANSPERIENCE at low moor in Bradford had simply lost it's sparkle at Christmas time back in 1995 with less visitors attending. Unlike other traditional working transport museums such a Crich Tramway Village, Black Country Living Museum, Heaton Park Tramway, Beamish Open Air Museum, East Anglia Transport Museum & Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum which has both working trams & trolleybuses are thriving well into the 21st century via all of them having traditional street furniture such as old street lighting ect. But in 2025 next year will be the 4th anniversary of the rise & fall of the very short lived worst failed transport theme park from mid-1995 to the end of 1997 known as TRANSPERIENCE had failed every single vintage transport enthusiasts.

Great video. I visited this year.

Where did the collection/exhibits finally end up after closure???

I was there!

Hi Nick, do you know if that was as fast as the steam train could go or if they restricted the speed for safety reasons?

Is the fair still there ?

These days (2024) it is just a 2-car train of ex-LT D78 (District Line) stock.

Will 34039 Boscastle be mainline certified?

I used to live on Warren Road and remember my mum and dad taking me down to the level crossing to see the steam trains pass.

Eddie Hoskins who used to work with my Dad Frank Wilson arranged for me to drive Nunlow at Dinting on my 17 th birthday 51 years ago !

Hi mate! Nice video of Swansea, I'm from Swansea, I'm trying to make a HST memorial video would it be OK if I use a clip off this video please?

Dreadful, Davros near the end 😂

Why was there one on a Cobh service? never knew that had happened, must be incredibly rare wondered what the reason for it was.

All gone so sad 😔 i joined pr at darley dale it was nice to see what made it there wonder what happened to all small locos

hey there, is it possible for us to use your footage for a video on our channel, we now own the no.5 locomotive in the video

Wow 34 years ago ! Nice video.

Brilliant, ex-employee Padiham power station

Thanks for uploading this I love this railway so much by a time this was filmed I wasn't born yet so it good to see it did not change that muck.

Awww I remember being here at this exact moment , only 3 years old to get stung by a wasp 😅but it was legendary

Remember spending my childhood coming from Greenock spending my summer holidays at my granny's house on Broadway in Belfast during 70s-80s (yes holidays in a war zone !!) and remember getting the boat train late at night in Larne on these trains with nearly every window smashed , mental.

Really enjoying watching your videos Nick. This one is of particular interest to me as I used to regularly ride on the Hilton Valley Railway as a kid In the 60’s and 70’s. Great to see the old HVR rolling stock still in its original livery here in 1989.

Wow east wheel rose has really changed
