If travelling through Durham, look east from the viaduct - it's a 'world heritage' view of castle and cathedral. When I see it, I'm home . . .

So interesting to see the electrification works at the time.

Seeing lots of guys working on the opposite line doing engineering works despite the line still being open and trains passing as normal. Very risky but was 33 years ago.

The 'freight line' [at Tursdale Jcn] continuing ahead to Newcastle was the original line from York to the Tyne [Leamside line].

I would love to have just listened to the train driver and camera crew talking, some fascinating insights into the history of York. Especially now, as the area around the station is due for another massive change.

A lot of those footbridges still remain, on the line to Hexham and Carlisle.

The old S&D would have 'come in' from the west, as the [heavy] traffic of coal was from the Shildon area to Newport in the east . . .

What 'alternative' route comes in from Stockton? Might have seen diversions from Northallerton via Eaglescliffe, but how many?

Pity about all those wittering voices in the background . . .
