At the time that the 'new' class 87 was captured in film, they also had a maximum speed of 100 mph. It was from the summer 1984 timetable that they were permitted to run at 110 mph, by which time their cross arm pantographs had been changed to Brecknell-Willis pantographs.

An era many would yearn for - it was a great era for variety but I find the modern era more efficient but less interesting rolling stock wise - fewer types and too much of the "same old same old'

What DVD is this from?
@KevinCNYC19912 жыл бұрын
From a program called Diesel & Electric on 35mm: Volume 3. I'm not 100% sure, but according to the description of what's on the DVD, it appears to match what is seen in this video.
