British Rail 1998-Doncaster Variety with classes 08, 31, 47, 58, 141 & InterCity 125 HST

It is March 1998 and i'm at Doncaster. It is the early days of privitisation although all the traction seen here is still from the BR era. There are light engine moves, a freightliner working, MGR trains from when coal was still in high demand, an Valanta powered HST and even a class 141 railbus! If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Just how I remember Doncaster, beautiful 👌

Thanks back in time .

A great film prompting some great memories. The sheer variety of traction, including the cross-country HSTs was why I was happy to spend hour after hour at Doncaster. Plus the added bonus of a surprise visitor or departure from the Plant. The refurbished Class 50s looked amazing coming out of there.

Thats the Cummins engined, Voith gearbox powered 141 that is still preserved, 141113. Also nice view of Doncaster works test train coaches aswell.

Presumably on the Adwick shuttle. The others were withdrawn once the Airedale lines were electrified enabling 144s to be cascaded onto Harrogate, Knottingley and Huddersfield-Sheffield diagrams?

Great video. Now going back to a type of British Rail.

Things always seem to go full circle!

[@geoffmee9926]

Great nostalgia there. Sadly all gone now from the mainline.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, pretty much all gone now although a few Gronks are still running.....

[@UKRailProductions]

[@MrGriser]

141's last ran in service in Britain in August 2000.

Nice video 5⭐👍👍👍😃😃

[@bobmather8814]

Not a "shed" in sight!!

[@roberthill6216]

Apart from wabtec, or rfs, or whatever it was called at the time!😊

[@jamesbeckwith3639]

Great video.. what was with the 2 wrong line running freight... the 3/2 tone grey 47 on freightliner and 58 on mgr

[@richardpike1387]

There was no wrong line moves in the video, all platforms are bidirectionally signalled. The Frieghtliner 47 was on the Doncaster Europort to Tees Dock liner and the 58 on tubs would be heading down to Decoy Down Yard

58016 is now Preserved!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

The only one to be i believe?......

[@railwayadventureswithleigh6040]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus not really, 58023 is also preserved as well and I believe that 58048 is in Preservation as well

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

@@railwayadventureswithleigh6040 That's good to know. I found them good engines to work on......

[@roberthill6216]

58022 is the basis for the lms twin conversion, so is technically preserved too.

[@shartbimpson]

was that king robbo's tag at 6:30 ?

[@david-stewart]

😲😲😃👍

[@davidwolstenholme6413]

Brilliant video thanks. I wonder why they sent the mgr through the platform road instead of the middle tracks?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

No idea but the signalman probably had a reason to do so?.......

[@roberthill6216]

He felt like a change to keep everyone on their toes?

[@JohnSmith-qv3ll]

Always pissed me off when the 141s went super little cheap units for adwick shuttle Huddersfield line Barton branch basic simple and paid for. compared with today foreign leased throwaway rubbish.
