BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
Visit to Scotland and the Highlands in July 1993
Part Two
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 services, loco hauled with 37s. A visit also to the Fort William Route to see the class 37 hauled sleeper service from Ft William to London Euston. 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. Moving into the Highlands for some spectacular scenery and great locomotive action albeit at a leisurely pace I first take you to Blair Atholl for the Down Sleeper from London Euston to Inverness and then chasing it to Dalwhinnie. This train was made up with an impressive load of 15 on ! . A class 37 hauled is spotted at Slochd Summit before going to Dingwall to capture the summer daily service from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh in the hands of a pair of class 26s. A visit to the Highland capital of Inverness was inevitable, lots of stock movements and the arrivals of services from Perth with class 37s. To Tulloch next and finally for this part back to Dalwhinnie to see the Up Sleepers from Inverness to London Euston. 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.
