INTERCITY Class 87 Returns to WCML! - 87002 "Royal Sovereign" at Crewe & Acton Bridge | 14/01/22

[@cmheadbanger]

Amazing to see a InterCity livery back on the Mainline, I can say this looks much better than alot of the 80s Sleaze Metalheads that would put Makeup on every Morning lol!

[@alanmolyneux5957]

An 87 hauling mk 3 coaches on WCML. What's not to like?

[@DKS225]

That and the sound of The 87's Traction motor and radiator fans powering up and powering down

[@RailwayVideos.]

What a lovely honk! Looking forward for seeing it on the 26th 😬

[@Lucky0670]

Good to see this back on..

[@soundseeker63]

What a wonderful sight. And doesn't intercity livery look smart when it's nice and clean!.... they hardly every looked that way in BR days of course!

[@rolandharmer6402]

Good colour scheme! Fantastic presentation.

[@seoultrains3159]

[@bentaylor5508]

[@allan5919]

Super video footage of 87002.

[@mikebebb9268]

87s in Swallow livery at Crewe…..Ooh I’m getting all Misty eyed!

[@paultaylor9652]

Remember them well, looks really dated now, but must of had a fortune spent restoring it all, just another great video.

[@theimperialist2686]

Excellent railway video

[@dafyddthomas7299]

Love the ghost whirling of 81-87's whilst visiting Gran at Preston via Preston Rail Station in the late 70's - mid 80's (unfortunately Gran dying afterwards)

[@zodiotekgaming]

How did they get the DVT to communicate with the class 87 bearing in mind it's a tap changer locomotive? Or did they swap out the old system for something that works with the DVT?

[@TrainPlaneHub]

Class 87’s always used to run with DVT’s throughout the 90’s. Intercity & Virgin Trains. Was always class 86, 87 or 90 with a rake of mk2 or mk3 coaches and a DVT.

[@markmitdoy]

tack me back to the 1990's

[@davidmills4292]

The 87 is still my favourite electric engine I certainly miss the haunting noise it made as it entered the station

[@pakroomitrains]

Amazing bro very nice ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹👍👍👍

[@supersprinter1564]

Nice video 👍

[@peterg957]

5000 Horsepower under the bonnet... Lovely Jubbly...

[@TanVasinTrains]

Will it run to kings cross ever?

[@wapphigh5250]

What coaches are these Mk3's (from an old HST Class 43 125 set) or Mk3a's (with buffers)? Also who owns the coaches.. they aren't listed on the LSL wikipedia - thanks!

[@TrainPlaneHub]

They are ex Greater Anglia coaches, that used to run between London & Norwich

[@wapphigh5250]

@@TrainPlaneHub So Mk3a's?

[@Bahnchef1994]

Very good Video

[@cardiffcanton254]

Great Vid. What camera settings do you use to record as footage looks great !

[@lamborghinihexagons5502]

Nice

[@jamesmcnair4242]

Yes it is

[@walsteadgreen405]

I have no interest in the Railways of today, unless of course, it's an 87 with Mk3's (or Mk2's for that matter!) I wish I could turn the clock back to the good old 80's!!

[@peterwhitaker4038]

great to see this but can't help feeling how nobody building Locos then thought about streamline i mean that 87 at speed must have been like a brick thrown through the air with it's solid front.

[@gs425]

they do 110, and similar to brick front early 3 series and cortinas of the time at similar speed

[@christopherwaring8285]

HAS THAT CLASS 82 LOCO BEEN CONVERTED FROM ELECTRIC TO DIESEL DOES ANYONE KNOW?

[@TrainPlaneHub]

CLASS 82 IS THE DVT. ITS A BREAK VAN, NO POWER TO IT WHAT SO EVER. THE POWER IS SUPPLIED BY THE CLASS 87
