Thankyou for the memory of a lovely depot brilliant staff never ever refused a walk around

So much more relaxed then......best wishes to you......Mark

Brilliant stuff. This was 11 years after my Dad left the railway (fireman and second man at March) and a year after we moved from March to Peterborough. Loved going round the depot and yard with him. Any more from March?

[@spompey]

Sadly not of March, until mid 1990's....many thanks....Mark

When you see the tractive effort (as well as think about the logistics effort) of using a Class 31 to haul 7 cars then you can so see why Class 158s etc. etc. became so attractive to the railways even then. Amazing footage though, March is a lovely station I have to say these days. PS. 11:26 - wonder where all those Ford Sierra's are now?!

Sounded like an F-4 Phantom OTT too

[@andrewchaston503]

The Norwich to Brummie came about from the loss of freight and parcel business from the rail strikes of 1972. The railway suddenly had a lot of unused locomotives. Why don't the railway unions and their members ever learn

[@andrewchaston503]

Closing the GEGNR was a total disgrace. Such a waste

[@BrecklandSpotting]

What's the gegnr?
