British Rail Network SouthEast 1993-Southern EMUs at Waterloo East & Charing Cross EPB+455+456+465

[@martynthomas7486]

Lovely to see those lovely EPB's in action. By 1993 they were becoming an endangered species and the Networker invasion was in full swing.

Yes, there working liuves were drawing to a close, which why i was out filming them.... I wish i had filmed more of the other slam ddor stock as well!

[@seat61]

That brought back some memories! I was Station Manager at Charing Cross when these shots were taken. My patch included Waterloo East.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

I'm pleased you enjoyed it..... I can't believe it was 30 years ago though that i filmed it! Back then i was a Trainman D and this was my Saturday RD......

[@stingynettles]

1993 was the year I transferred to Charing Cross as a driver. Stayed there till 1998

Lovely EPBs. Back when the infrastructure was looked after too. Thanks Soi

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, comparing my railway vids of today to these from the 80s & 90s, 'bad old BR' did a great job of keeping the lines claer of weeds unlike today the railway seems proud to cultivate such a mess!

[@EM-yk1dw]

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Indeed Soi BR did the housework. It’s very sad the way things have gone.

[@djtrainspotter]

Memories abound in this one! Since i can remember '76 onwards as a small kid on the family day out to Londinium, the absolute buzz of this stretch of line! . . . All them units including CAP's a distant memory i keep alive by playing trains in my head lol. Hastings units had only been gone for 7 years before this. Nice vid mate, keep em coming. Oh . . and ofc i never look at Waterloo E the same since that was part of her journey to mine hehe :D

[@trainrover]

so easy on the eyes, those old stock could even be considered pretty

[@JBFlytography]

Back when there was a bit more character👌🏼

[@zebedep]

Thanks for sharing. There was an interesting variety of rolling stock at this time.

[@professorjamesmoriarty5191]

A few 4cap units in there, can tell them instantly by the blacked out inner cabs.

[@keef71]

was just thinking that @2:01, for some reason i noticed the lack of yellow - on looking back to check, it's so obvious that all the lines go straight instead of angled up!🙂 btw i thought they must be CAP units but didn't know if they were even still a thing in NSE days.

[@craigsibley8161]

Good stuff 👍👍👍

[@trainrover]

wow...the snug couplings by the EPBs now stand out...might buffers have been spared along their elements?

[@geoffbarry9540]

That's a pretty nippy run into CX platform 2 at around 8.40. Bet the nanny state doesn't allow its flash electronic tin cans to run into a terminal platform at anything like that speed today...

[@EM-yk1dw]

Nope 15 and under.

PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!! . . . create a separate channel for your Bus offerings. I only care to see your rail vids, which are awesome, but have ABSOLUTE ZERO interest in Motorbus content, thx.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Well, this is a general tarnsport chanel rather than a railway channel. There would no extra railway vids uploaded even if i put the bus vids on another channel.... I don't always watch all content from channels i subscribe to, i pick & choose the uploads i want to watch........
