Railways. British Rail Southern Region around London 1994

[@AndreiTupolev]

My word, look how scruffy Wandsworth Road was. Makes you appreciate what London Overground did to brighten things up.

I'm glad I've found these videos, they're a wonderful look back at the time just before the fatuous franchises came into being. DMU incident at Kenny O; probably the heater. The driver jumping down on the offside of the train right above the conductor rail made me a bit nervous though.

Brilliant video! Thank you!

[@derekmeller5873]

That was great. Kensington Olympia bit was fantastic. Lots of variety.

Thanks Bob the Wandsworth Road clips had terrible black lines across indicating dirty vcr heads but when I digitised the tapes the lines disappeared,so I was well pleased.these clips are now getting quite old now

[@ollymid]

What was the Eurostar doing going through Wandsworth Road?? I can't find any record of a Eurostar having been routed to London Victoria anywhere.

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

They came from Waterloo international and went to North pole depot for servicing via Kensington

[@Jeagles]

Nice selection! What were the HSTs doing at Olympia?

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Cross Country Working to and from Bournemouth into the Midlands and North.

[@Jeagles]

@@BrianTuckerRailvideos thanks

[@AndreiTupolev]

Actually they were from Edinburgh to Waterloo, turning onto the North London line just outside Kings Cross, to connect with Eurostar (supposedly, though they rarely had more than half a dozen passengers), and empty stock to/from Old Oak

[@mayto420]

only playing in left ear?

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Yes,new editing software will sort out that problem for forthcoming videos....sorry.

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Only my older 8 mm and hi 8 mm tapes captured.

[@RedArrow73]

Are there no 'dual mode' locos within the Southern Region, that is, Diesels capable of taking current from the live rails?

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Yes class 73 are electro diesels, a number are still running.
