Always nice to see these places again without all the clutter in the film you get with electrification..glad I got a fair bit there myself.was sat on the bench there 2015 looking up watching the kites and bits of aircraft thinking what a lovely big sky soon to be lost.

Memories of great loco traction and not a GM loco in sight.

Great memories- sad to see the place covered in spaghetti these days and just a couple of sheds on the sp- but still exciting when a freight flies round the avoider and opens up on full bore:-))

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

The Ferrywagons you refer to,I’m afraid I can’t tell you,usually steel products,but that’s just a guess,it’s quite a few years ago now,If I can definitely tell you ,I will get back to you ,thanks ,regards.

Great video and well put together.. Jeez the train coming from the mainline were coming towards the at speed so id imagine the passengers would of of got rocked about a fair bit ,, oh well make for good train ride though a tad bumpy haha

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Belated thanks, much appreciated

[@benconway9010]

God that Atlas engine sounds knackerd

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

i remember that one well. When i drove it it sounded just the same, these locos were long out of works and Acton crews thrashed them into the ground on the Forders bins twice a day, and the loaded bins were around 1400 tons! No wonder they blew up, quite a few ground to a halt outside the local fire station on the approach to Bedford and had to be rescued from there! Happy days.....
