British Rail-Scunthorpe June 1989

A vid for a subscriber now, Scunthorpe. Back in 1989 it was a busy place with lots of freight trains passing and there was also a busy yard at the rear of the Up platform. In this vid we see three class 08's at work in the yard, even in 1989 that was quite something to behold! The passenger trains were in the hands off Sprinters (150 & 156) and the now soon-to-be-gone Pacers (144) while freight workings were in the hands of classes 08, 31, 37, 47 & 56 (all Romanian ones!). All in all a nice bit of history on this one! If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

at about 6.42, when 08 is moving away, what are the two objects flying from left to right?

Some of your best footage here, possibly my favourite video of yours because it the exact year and location of my Era! If only time travel was a thing right now!!

Great stuff. A lot of variety and especially none of those ugly, boring, uniform 125s! And a great time for music too.

Thank you for your video it’s always nice to see the old diesels, And my favourite the class 08 So much history and some of them are still working today.

this video is brilliant. It’s great to see locomotives of this era when they aren’t confined to heritage railways. In some ways it reminds me of a nature watch program :D

All these years later and that 150 at the start will probably be in service for another 20 years at least. Shocking.

Evening Soi.........😊 Oh happy days with all of those BR locomotives lol 😂 Including the Romania 56s 🙈

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Excellent again thanks for sharing

[@WeeCowieson]

That's a great video Soi.... really enjoyed it, thanks ! Never made it to Scunthorpe in my 80s railway travels, pity as it looks fascinating. As other commentators have said, just amazing to see 3 shunters in action and also the hump still being used.... never knew about that, might have paid a visit if I had ! I used to spend a lot of time as a teenager watching freight trains at Millerhill near Edinburgh around 81-84, could watch a busy freight yard all day !
