Superb! Reminds me of a similar trip in July 1984 with 40160 on the SuO York-Carlisle - last minute replacement for a Spoon which collapsed before departure, and a nice surprise for those waiting at Leeds. Did the full round trip, and 160 gave it her all, arriving back at York with her bodyside streaked in oil, but wouldn't have changed a minute of it!

Love these classic Videos from the 1980s or say the 70s to the 60s with Locomotion like this 🎼🎶

[@alanbottomley5581]

Yes truly magnificent machines how they whistled and then showed you their teeth. Beautiful piece of British engineering from the 60s. I agree with Ribblehead comments to 😊

Our rail network back then was so good, locos with character! Wish i could go back and experience it

[@ianjones4116]

Loco's with Character and Soul. Not like the bland tin boxes of today. Sadly missed. All those happy young lads,, Not Mobile phone in sight. Proper youth. 👍😁

[@sansovino4124]

Had a ride between Carlisle and Leeds behind 40012 in 1983 - 4 carriages, Mk1 stock, whole compartment to myself - heaven!

I have Photo`s of Aureol on Garston Depot, she was renumbered class 97, when they were remodelling Crewe. There was two or three that were stabled on Garston holding siding, used on the many Ballast trains for the remodelling project. Happy Days.

'British rail poster said, have an away day, cheap holiday , do it today ' Words from 'The Jam' Brilliant days. 😎 Thanks for sharing.

40052 !!!! I remember having that on 1S60 or maybe 1S66 back in the early 80's Grantham - Darlington. A couple of years previous it would of been a Deltic, I thought sad, but this 40 gave me great pleasure when leaning out of the window leaving Grantham, oh the noise !!!!! Awesome !!!!!!

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Hellfire video! Looks like it could be a 40 basher called Fraser flailing out the front at 3.40, he still does bashing now but not quite so desperate (well, sort of!)

[@aureol40012]

Rob Fraser?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, do you know anyone else that desperate? lol

[@JohnSmith-qv3ll]

Great vid 27 on the s and c, must have been Scottish battlelions going for training at Warcop

[@roygillett4235]

British Rail at it,s best

[@simonpoole3053]

Never heard of a 27 on S &C

[@simonpilk]

And you have to rate the tip-top on the Warcop branch! Thats a class 27 if you prefer it!

[@aureol40012]

@flanneryged No problems my friend, glad they give people pleasure.
