BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1980's
Brighton Station on 5th May 1989
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Brighton Station taken on 05/05/1989. With a few surprises. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.

Fantastic little shunters, the 09s. Quite a bit faster than the 08s, I believe.

[@leedavis66]

Only 3mph officially (27/30mph), but 400hp instead of 350hp, so a fair bit more powerful.

Hi Mark my Dad was once again when he came for breakfast impressed by your footage said top filming. Like a actor say known for comedy doing a drama I love I keep asking my Dad to photograph planes when he's away instead of trains out of his comfort zone. I'm guessing you and him are both train men not into planes too? Another question I also asked him how does riding a steam train feel to diesel or electric he said it's more earthy like you can feel it more as to the other two I'm guessing it's the same as petrol cars are quieter smoother but diesel to drive is more punchy (hard to describe but anyone who drives will get what I mean) what's your opinion on steam Vs diesel and electric?.

[@geoffbarry9540]

...and a BIG to finish off with. Where is the celeb 4-SUB these days?
