Fantastic piece of history and nostalgia there. I filmed myself on a number of visits back in 1990 and it was busy even then, but not as much as you had in 88. Thanks for sharing, Colin.

Oh brilliant, just brilliant!! Sadly, I remember vividly seeing those locos in green livery hauling crimson rolling stock. To add to the nostalgia, there were still locos from the back end of B.R Steam thrown in to the mix. An excellent video showing scenes never to return. So very well done and thank you👍

Many thanks for the generous comment....and for watching...Mark

What a great trip down memory lane. Never realised the Peaks were still around so late in the 80's, and enjoyed watching them going on to Etches Park. Thanks for posting.

Really a fantastic video and reminds me of growing up in Derby in the late 70s and esrly 80s. So much going on nack then. Excellent.

[@spompey]

Many thanks John and best wishes....Mark

[@nounoufriend1442]

That 31 had 9 coaches behind it ! hope it wasn't going very far , great video though

[@spompey]

May have been a little tough on the loco, but I have seen 12 on a 31 and some quite heavy ballasts, although on the GWR we did double head the Newbury and Oxford services from Paddington....many thanks and sincere regards....Mark

[@michaeledwards1004]

[@spompey]

[@lewisner]

My favourite loco is the Deltic but I think second has to be the Class 20. Had many great thrashes with them to Skegness.

Nice Memories of Derby Midland when I was attending an Ultrasonic Testing Course at the Railway Technical Centre before the Railways were destroyed under Privatisation. Grand to see Engines and Units in proper Livery, and no damn Graffiti.

I noted a lot of changes at Derby over the years, notably the works buildings.

[@k333vrr4]

Done a few overnighters on Derby platform before going to Ned St, which im sure it was the Summer Tenby mainly 47 hauled. Always something going on at Derby 👍👍

I remember Derby Train Station the 70s and 80s.

[@spompey]

Many thanks Rachel and best wishes to you...Mark

[@brianwillson9567]

Couldn’t miss your take on derby. Coal hoppers, and Burkhardt wanted to double and triple freight. Ha ha. Bit late in the day for peaks, but doesn’t 45140 look good.

[@spompey]

You're most welcome and Many thanks for your comment and for watching...best wishes...Mark

[@nounoufriend1442]

Great times for us in engineering when Burkhart took over better pay and conditions loads more time off

[@geert-janzwartjes31]

[@timstrainvideos142]

brilliant! were the class 20s just moving empty coaching stock?

[@BibtheBoulder]

Suspect they were moving stock coming from the carriage works opposite Etches park.

[@timstrainvideos142]

​@@BibtheBoulderok cheers. it's at about 3:00 if anyone wonders what im on about.

[@duncancurtis5108]

Must've been a damn cold day. Spotter shivering in a greatcoat!

[@bobarmour597]

I can personally vouch that pairs of 20s were still hauling passenger services as late as 1993.... Must notably perhaps on the 'Jolly Fisherman' summer services to Skegvegas
