Classic British Rail - Shrewsbury - 20th March 1991

We see a Class 37 head through light loco before another 37 departs with a coal train and then later on we see a Class 47 shunting half it's train after arriving from Euston before a Cl 37 departs with the rest of the train.

Fantastic late afternoon, evening footage - very clear and good quality under the station lights for the technology of that day! Brings back good memories of the days when I changed at Crewe/ Shrewsbury for the Central Wales line, where I worked at Llanwrtyd in the late 80/90s. How things have changed with multiple units everywhere and no direct London trains. Some of the old 2 car units worked through from Swansea to Crewe and that was great fun (!) they were absolutely on their limit pounding up the line from Shrewsbury to Crewe - bucking and swaying all over the place. Those were the days! Thanks for this and all your other great videos of the BR days, much appreciated viewing.

Great to see the Cambrian coast express, surprisingly still running though not very well patronised.
