It’s been 16 years since Eurostar pulled out of Waterloo for the last time before they were transferred over to the new terminus London St Pancras

I’m looking for more info on Ingmire Hall. I know a bit of the history as available on Wikipedia. I’m still trying to better understand why it was given that name as it was built for the Websters. I know the old meanings of Ing and Mire. My name surprisingly is David Ingmire.

0:14 is that Mr Rigby, used to teach me chemistry?

That was really sad seeing these final trains for Paris, and Brussels. Via Swanley, Herne Hill and brixton non stop which was the very last day over 10 years ago. Now all services transferred to st Pancras international

you may have known my dad, he left that year, he is on two or three of the pictures, the one i can see him clearly on is the one were they are with the geography teachers

i see my dad

They've still got the shoes cos they use them in Belgium

John Lingard at 1:00 who later joined St Helens Striders. I think I was competing at Wigan that weekend on the track in the Lancashire Championships.

I had my car nicked outside the Eagle and Child pub there.....ahhh the memories

You need to find more old videos like this. Priceless!

I still haven't found Parts 1 to 3 after looking for 3 years!

@Eugeneandco Most of the Networkers have similar traction systems to the 1996 stock used on the Jubilee Line, both use Metro-Cammell equipment. Some 465s however had Brush traction packages, all of which have now been replaced with Hitachi equipment, which is the same traction gear found under the Class 395 'Javelin' stock.

@edj66 agreed

the distance from dc to boston is probably further than london to paris

Nice Video. I rode the Eurostar out of Waterloo in August 2007. Wish the US had rail service like that!

Great to see this - thanks. I left in 81 - so was just doing 'o' levels at this time. Great to see the 'common room' again (and the pre-fabs, lol). I recognise some of the teachers - 'Dave' Atkin, 'Caveman' Clough - and is that really 'Doc' Phillips?. I remember a few of the others - 'Botty' and not sure if i spotted Janet Skepper and Sue Briscoe too? Great to hear Deaf School too, I saw them in 2007 - what a great night that was! Look out for them again in 2009

see the bit at waterloo were you show the depature board and the clock. The last i was there, which was about 5-6 months ago it was full of dirt, dust and grease. It was sad to see it like it but it would of been even sader if the eurostar stopped altogether.

how dramatic...from these videos it hardly looks any different to the way it is now and when compared to places such as st helens, kirkby or skem i wouldnt worry at all about walking around rainford

Filmed with some affection, I notice. Very nice work indeed.

What a great film, the beginning and end of an interesting railway era. The Southern Region will seem dull without them. Does your son, Alex (seelking) still like buses! Thank you both for your comments.
