British Rail Yorkshire 1993-Wakefield Kirkgate & Doncaster Classes 08, 31, 37, 47, 56, 60 & 91

It's July 1993 and i'm in Yorkshire. We start at Wakefield Kirkgate, which back then was still quite busy with freight traffic, and we see class 08, 31, 37, 56 & 60s on such trains. Then later on i went to doncaster, and here we see class 91s on Inter-City workings and class 37, 47 & 56 on freight.

Thanks for the fine footage. Always enjoy your uploads. Cheers from the land of NJ Transit and Amtraks running through my neighborhood.

Only spotted at Donny once, and this is how I remember it. My claim to fame, I had two uncle brothers who were apprenticed to then Nigel Gresley, one ended his career as works manager at BREL Eastleigh, the other became a government R&D Inspector with HM Government!! Due to family history I knew neither until shortly before they passed away, but I did manage an afternoon in Eastleigh works to see the mates. I was working on BR myself just then. Great video, thanks for the memories, lol 🤣 👍👍👍👍👍

Just before the electrification extended to Leeds from Doncaster.

God last time I went to Kirkgate in 2020 I saw about 2 freights in 3 hours.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, it's very poor there for freight. I still film there but it's a shadow of what was once there.......

what logo is on the side of the grey class 08?

[@nelson408.]

The one at Doncaster has the RFS Industries logo. They operated in part of the works at this time. Think they had some Class 20's for use in the Channel Tunnel construction.
