OMG, Ashford as i remember it! Spent hours trainspotting there as a kid in the early 70's.

[@jasonmfalconer]

Great stuff. To see the Scotrail locos down south. 714 is now at Wensleydale back to life for her soon

[@ONEFATE9]

Lovely video! Love to see more Class 73's in action. But one question. Was that a fan trip with that 73? Also, love seeing the 47's in various aspects of the job! And that 33 was the icing on the cake! Thanks, and Happy New Year!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I'm pleased you enjoyed it..... The class 73 was on a shuttle service to the Chart Leacon open day..... and Happy New Year to you too......

[@ONEFATE9]

@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus What's the Chart Leacon? I'm not British, so please enlighten Me.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

@@ONEFATE9 It was the name of a railway engineering workshop, it was having an open day weekend and the class 73+EMU ran a shuttle service from Ashford Station to & from the works.....

[@ONEFATE9]

Oh. I did not know that. Thank you.

Those images of Ashford were before the modernisation for HS1 when the station was renamed ‘Ashford International’.

[@use-oc4mj6n]

It's back to Ashford. No more international services 😂

Excellent video, especially of that Crompton. I’m guessing it wasn’t a regular on the WOE diagrams in 1992?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Crompton's weren't booked traction by then but were used to help out when class 47s were unavailable......indeed, one worked on the last day of WoE loco hauled operations in 1993.....
