BR in the 1980s Newport Station Wales on 6th April 1989

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1980's
NEWPORT STATION (Wales) on 6th April 1989
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Newport Station taken on 06/04/1989. Plenty of class 37 action. 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.

Lovely video, most of my spotting trips started from Newport (we didn’t have a car so my Aunt would run me to the station from Bedwas) I spent a ton of time there it was magic and as a bonus there’s some lovely HST Valenta screams in the footage too! Thanks so much for posting this
