[@sku70]

Lovely to see your 'old footage' Trevor....the modern stuff you do is excellent, and in years to come will be a record of the every day trains we take for granted....just like we took the 80's stuff for granted during the 80's

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Always does well the old stuff....happy days Stu....Trevor.''

[@jimjams6800]

Brilliant video! A lot of coaches on those trains- enough for nearly everyone to have a seat!!

Its always nice to see these great engines doing there stuff Jeff.Loved Dawlish in the mid 80s with all 47s - 50s and HSTs coming through.....Cheers....Trevor.''

[@9827george]

watching and listening to these trains, they remind me of East Germany during the same decade.

A great look back at when the 47s practically ruled the roost on passenger trains in and around Dawlish Trevor, thanks for sharing, cheers...Bill

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Yes Bill always a lot of 47s coming through Dawlish around that time coming from all different parts of the country.Glad you enjoyed the footage....Regards......Trevor.''

[@AndreiTupolev]

It seems you'd be likely to see an HST drag every time you went down to the West Country in those days! Some interesting period cars as well, and a Devon General Bristol VR before everything became minibuses.

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Thanks for Watching....Trevor.''

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Fantastic. Favorite for me was the Freight. Thanks for sharing

[@TrevorLedgeway]

The good old 47 189 on the freight Keith and still a few doing a good job still.....Trevor.''

Trevor Ledgeway i did like it a lot,thanks.

[@andybyrne50]

The days when you'd rush home from work for an evenings spotting ,no need for realtime trains ..everyone a winner ! I still have my memories of the westerns,peaks,rats,and the first HSTs to run the seawall . I hope you get a bit more luck with the modern workings Trevor ! Andy

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Great time Andy with all those different class of loco;s about around this time.Have got over 1100 subscribers on my channel but only a few like you that comment .Will have have a sort out if it doesn't get any better....Cheers...Trevor.''

[@andybyrne50]

+Trevor Ledgeway I wish I could get them in the first place lol ...but I couldn't agree more ,out of nearly 200 subs ,only a few bother to watch or comment. ! Keep them coming Trevor ,as I've always enjoyed them ! Andy

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Going weed a lot of them out and try and get some better subscribers Andy before i do anything drastic....Trevor

[@am-vm8ew]

so nostalgic! great video

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Thanks very much for your comment Alfie....Much Appreciated......Trevor.''

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Really superb video Trevor, to think this was roughly 30 Year ago makes you feel old....Interesting to see the Clothes People wore then...lol. Cracking selection of 47's i must say...Not sure if my Eyes deceived me but in your closing shot were there two People walking the track? Also reading your description above....have your viewings been low lately ? ...That's how i read it . Keep up the excellent work.....Steve.-:)

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Hi Steve and yes 30 years since i filmed this footage.Network Rail or what ever they were called were busy on the track if i remember right.As regards the views i have been getting it is very disappointing on the stuff i am filming now which i think is decent but its just the same few who bother to look and comment like yourself.Will give it a bit longer then decide what i am going to do...Thanks....Trevor.''

[@powagaming1014]

Awesome video mate thoroughly enjoyed it as i sadly wasnt around to see those sights Also a question. Were 47s hauling HSTs common at dawlish in the 80s?

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Only if HSTs Failed on there Journey.''
