Classic, the 80s trains look so dirty and I was an 80s kid. Loved the driver who stepped off the train when it was moving .

[@JohnPW22]

Proper trains! Loved the 31 on freightliner - amazing footage! Derby was always a must on the Midland Railrover!

Great footage. Thank you for uploading this. Happy memories

Good to see class 56s on mgr coal trains exactly what they were built for shame maggi shut down all the collieries.

[@meester5565]

My favourite is always the 56 with haa's but it's nice to also see so many 31's, it takes me back to when I worked at Doncaster plant works.

It all looks so old now, but it doesn't feel that long ago to me.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Is that a GWR Auto trailer being used by the Research Department at the beginning there? Well I never.
