A neat Tank Engine at this railroad.

The class 50 accelerating out of Euston was epic!

85101 has been preserved at Barrow Hill, hopefully they can it back up and running again soon!

Great video. Brought back many memories. Those buggers and others are what damaged my hearing over the years. The class 84's were given a thick leather type curtain to pull across behind the seats to try and reduce the noise level.

You’d get shot if you went through a set of hand points now days!

D213 Andania was the loco that my grandfather drove on his last day before retiring from BR in the late 60's. We recently uncovered a B+W photo taken of him leaning out of the cab at the end of his last shift. Locomotive Services LTD who run Andania were kind enough to let my son and I visit Crewe to recreate the picture to add to our family collection.

When I was a kid I use to sit on the moss at Bold pit in St Helens watching Whiston pulling coal around Its great to see him again it brought tears to my eyes so glad he was not scrapped thank you for the video you made an old man happy ..Do you know where he now would love to see him again

Great location's and excellent sounds, really liked the atmospheric nearing night time clips too chief

Fantastic video bud 🤩 brings back many happy memories, can't beat BX 37/5's on Stone traffic especially the PHV ICI Hoppers 🙂 many thanks for sharing

次々と駅に入ってくる列車が素敵ですね。 チャンネル登録をしました。😀

Awsome😊

@ 2.00 "Next".......................

Reminds me wonderfully of my almost weekly trips down south during the football season.

So many lovely memories of scenes l thought, at the time would always be around. Now look at the s..t we have instead😢

Ecellent😊

Ahh. Those were the days of proper trains!!😢

Fantastic memories for me. Thanks for posting. Your channel looks very interesting and so I have subbed.😊👍👍👍

To me, there is no better job than that of a train driver!

This is amazing footage. Part of this was shot down Micklewood Lane towards where there's a small airfield and the boating bits etc etc. The crossing is still there as far as i know, along with the original gates they used to close off the road. If you have any more videos like this could you please upload? Or any of old Cannock/Staffs.

Oh good days, 16 & 81 coupled permanently for years.

promo sm 🤪

What a delight to watch

Only ever saw 1 class 81 working as a small child; Manchester Piccadilly probably ECS from Longsight depot...

Terrific video. I have many memories of all the A.C’s, right back to their introductory liveries. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

Lovely Rare footage of Class 20s in the early 1990s .Was aged 17 going 18 in 1991 when this footage was recorded for prosperity ❤love classic British Rail Locomotion ❤Bet half these kids 32 years ago would be in their Early to late 50s or Early 60s .No Smartphones back then ,Happy Dayz growing up in the Early 1990s born back in 1973 😁

At a time when the 87’s & 86’s were the loco of choice on the Euston-Glasgow/Edinburgh services; to get an 85 diagrammed in their place was a rare treat.

I passed out to drive the class 85 as a young driver at Stonebridge Park I worked a down express from Euston to Rugby with my instructor and also the footplate inspector Mr Harry Owen in 1972 on arrival at rugby i then had to drive a loose coupled freight back to Willesden

Such a shame to see this loco scrapped all because of a green 50 and that didn't stay green for much longer

👍

Wow, that brings back a few memories 🙂👍

I remember clocking 103 mph out of a Class 81 as she climbed Beattock with Load 17 ! Also 85 101 (formerly 85 006) did a railtour to Walton-on-Naze which I did. Happy days.

This is a fantastic video. I absolutely love these Austerity locos and to see them at work is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

I loved 85s wish they'd kept them.

I volunteer at foxfield and I can’t lie they could’ve done a lot more with knotty 100 eg bringing freight out the colliery

just how I remember these beasts flying through Stockport from Manchester piccadilly on the London Euston trains! I love class 86/87 and the 90s/91s as they can shift and the sound of there traction motors & fans on the roarers class 86s is awesome! Nice video of some of the best British made electric trains.🥰😍😘

Lovely set ,brake van looks brilliant

they are making a big mistake getting rid of these power plants over this fake global warming garbage the nuke power industry is pushing so they can build more reactors to blow up and melt down like seller field , japan , the U.S.A., Russia , all destroying the worlds oceans and air.with no were to get rid of there spent fuel that stays deadly for ten thousand years. i will take smoke over fall out any day. one container ship puts out more pollution then all the cars in the world. and they are worried about these old power plants. there is thousands of these ships and no one is crying over them. all the rich and politicians are flying all over the world stinking up the sky. no one is crying over that. every thing to make the regular people suffer as they make money off of us.

Great when they got allocated to Longsight and Edge Hill/Allerton (can’t remember which);you’d appreciate them hauling the Trans-Pennine and Manchester-Holyhead services. Vastly underrated and extremely versatile.

Just gota luv a ped!!! ❤

These bring back fond childhood memories ,along with all the other early AL classes, we lived close to the WCML near Stafford ,we couldn't afford to go far trainspotting in those days ,so must of filled all those classes in my combined volume .great times .

I love all classes of 1960s electric locomotive's from class 81 to class 87's plus the 1980s built class 89 & class 90 & the 1993 built class 93 i remember the class 85's well just before they was withdrawn as I started train spotting about 1983 with my brother so the class 86's/87s started dominating the Manchester to Euston trains after the class 81/85's was withdrawn from service! i wish i could go back to those majical day's as they was the best for loco spotting at Manchester piccadilly & Stockport I could just put myself on the platform watching them pass by sadly only one class 85 got saved & preserved 85101/85006 I would love to see it running again maybe one day but I can't see it happening! but the sound of class 81 to 87 at power is awesome good video I enjoyed watching it 🥰😍🤩

Marvellous!

These should still be going.

Lovely film, beautiful roarers!

The 85s were the most successful of the first generation ac electrics . Some of them were in service on freight trains until the early 90s. I remember back in the day doing over nights at Carlisle seeing 85s on speed link trains passing through the station.

‘Long Pongs’? Nah! Gimme a Duchess any day. (Though the turbocharger sounds great.)

👍

The banshee wail in action!
