BR in the 1990s Visit to Scotland and the Highlands in July 1993 Part Three

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
Visit to Scotland and the Highlands in July 1993
Part Three
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of my first trip of this year to Scotland and the Highlands. Initially to capture on film the sleepers being double headed with class 37s and the Perth to Inverness loco hauled with 37s and also the Fort William Services. Starting off with this part I visited Rannoch Station, (The most remote station on the route) I captured on video the Down London Euston to Fort William Sleeper setting down (For a lady awaited by her excited family). The sheer peace of the place is shattered by the roar of the locomotive as it departs. Then to Crianlarich Station where a surprise visitor was seen and the class 37 passenger service to Glasgow . Finally I popped into Millerhill Yard to see how it was performing and it was quite dead to be frank apart from some LE moves. My next visit to Scotland is only 5 weeks away and the Highlands feature again, so keep an eye out for that, probably will be split into 3 parts due to the length. The video is in three parts due to the overall length of material so 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.

Really great! The sequence at Rannoch with the wee boys meeting their mother is precious. That's what railways are all about. Yes it could happen from a bus or a plane but it's not the same! And certainly not at Rannoch! When she picks her wee boy up and cuddles him that is fantastic. Thanks for all Scottish stuff. XXXX

Many thanks Andrew and I agree it did make the clip at Rannoch more natural and atmospheric.....The peace of it all and scenery cannot be beaten really....best wishes...Mark

Having fun with Stuttgarts goods triangle this month. Locos would collect trips from small yards dotted around the city. That'd be it for me until autumn 94 at Crewe, seeing The Geordie meet its fate at Gresty Lane.

Many thanks as always Duncan....Mark

Oh, and getting two trains at Crianlarich with engines and coaches must have been so rare even then. Impossible now. Don't understand why one would pass the other. They must have shuffled down the coast behind each other anyway. Anyway, thanks!

The Scotsman came from Ft William and shunted for the service train going North and the passenger train was an Up Oban service as far as I remember.....but yes it was all by chance I caught these on film as I had abandoned my vague timetable by then.....best wishes and many thanks....Mark
