BR in the 1990s Exeter St Davids Station on 4th May 1991

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
Exeter St Davids Station on 4th May 1991
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Exeter St Davids taken on 04/05/1991. The class 50s were now in their final period of working the WOE line so I thought it was appropriate to call in here again before the 47/7s took over. 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.

Great video. Takes me back. The driver at 10.15 doing his paperwork checking his watch then giving both Valentas the beans and still kept doing his paperwork as she rolled of was as Cool A F.

[@spompey]

He was making out his drivers ticket.....many thanks for watching and best wishes....Mark

Great video, many good memories. Man, I’d forgotten how damn smoky the locos were…. that 50 that stayed at the platform a while was delivering the atmosphere a healthy dose of hydrocarbons!

@@TheOracle65 Many thanks ......best wishes....Mark

Old smokey 50 033 Glorious, in shot straight after a very smokey 37 on the stabling point was hilarious! Great video, not seen it before.

Good stuff as usual 47/7's slowly taking over, at least 3 Class 50's on site, plenty of decent sounding HST's though. many thanks for sharing.

[@spompey]

Slowly but surely the 47/7s taking over....Many thanks as always....Mark

[@villevirtanen00]

Knackered looking HSTs but still kept going strong for years and years. Quality.

[@spompey]

Everything looks a bit that way, even myself now....best regards....Mark

So many of my summer holidays were spent sat at St Davids from mid 80’s watching the class 50’s and HST’s with a cornish pasty in hand (from Ivor Dewdneys up on the high street)… oh those were the days….

[@spompey]

I have 2 pasties in my fridge, now they are on the brink of being eaten.......AAhh.....many thanks for the memories you have brought up.....Mark

[@limeyfox]

Great video. The scratch IC Mk2 set at 14:45 appears to get announced as the ‘0915 Truro to Paddington’ which I’m guessing must have been a Control Special for the bank holiday weekend?

[@spompey]

Yes I thought that it was an odd working.....many thanks for watching and best wishes...Mark

What a contrast with the previous summer. Only a few 50s left now. Collingwood gone. Tiger gone. Rami lies gone. Vanguard gone.
