I used to love sitting on this station in the early 1980s 1990s as there was always some loco action here I started spotting just after the class 40s was withdrawn but In 1979 I was only a kid I was about 7 I could hear these whistling beasts plus I seen class 76/77s stabled in the yard I used to stand on the iron bridge and look at them and that's what got me into railways I can still see myself stood there at 8 years old sat on my raleigh commando getting interested in these beasts!!! Happy days 😎

Wonderful memories of our beloved 40's and 25's at this most iconic location guide bridge... And a time that has thankfully been captured to look back on to put a smile on our faces when we get fed up of the sterile world....

Great film Jake.... loved watching that, brings back happy memories of hanging around countless railway locations like that just watching shunting and other movements. Only visited Guide Bridge once back in early 1982, still Tommies there... my god, what a place !

Another blast from the past, thanks Jake for taking the time in uploading these videos. The only thing I dislike about the Class 47 is how much black smoke the engines made so interesting to see one in apparently excellent condition producing very little smoke 1:45. One can almost feel the heat of that day seeing the two shirtless boys sitting on the wall watching the world go by and even a shirtless BR driver on the Class 40 18:00.

Thank you fgor this footage (including proper sound!) of these whistlers. I was a train-spotter between 1979 and 1986 and only saw on at St. Pancras, I think. Great to see them in action! It's easy to imagine these monsters weighing in at 130+ tons!

It was great going through Guide Bridge and round to Ashton Moss from Stockport Junction to Crowthorn Junction with heavy limestone trains from the Buxton area quarries. I could never understand why that section was taken up during the early 80s. Great video, with the 40s, which we mostly had at Buxton during that time.

Trainman making it look easy jumping off on the move which it clearly isn’t.
