BR in the 1990s Peak Forest Sidings (Buxton) & Dove Holes Quarry on 18th October 1994

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
Peak Forest and Dove Holes Quarry on 18th October 1994
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of yet another visit to The Peak Forest and Dove Holes Quarry on 18/10/1994. I spent most of the day here capturing the early morning start up of services, then followed by the mid day lul in activity and again the afternoon trains arriving and departing. A surprise was the use of a class 31 (probably for an engineers train) which sped off to Buxton in the morning and returned around mid day. Still double headed class 37s on some heavy duties were still about. 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.

Brilliant footage of a great location. So atmospheric with all the clag in the mist. Even the old ICI Hoppers!

Excellent. Loved the sound of the class 37s. Reminds me of my visits to Scotland and the West Highland line plus Inverness.

Arrrrh, the good old nineties ! When the more smoke something or even someone made, the cooler it or they were ! & when video cameras were so big, a guy driving a loco could see you were filming a half mile away 😂

It’s still very busy at Peak Forest and still the occasional 37 there on shunting duties. I used to love going here as a kid and then to Buxton where you could take a walk round the back of the station to the TMD but that’s long gone.
