Lovely and not a pendolino voyager or shed in sight

Departmental grey liveried Class 47 at 5:16 is I think the 6G55 Arpley to Bescot Departmental service, it's got a mix of CCE and revenue wagons (strong contender with a Department 47 on the front) pass time at Stafford 1633hrs

[@84asrd84boxy]

Cheers Simon, thanks for the info...Bill

[@DowntheJunction]

More digging in the WTT makes me think that the Class 31 hauled ECS at the start 0:02 is 5M52 Doncaster West yard to Wembley Inter City depot

[@84asrd84boxy]

Simon, thanks for looking through the WTT for the various workings, cheers...Bill

dang, just 2 days later that horrible crash on plat 4

[@84asrd84boxy]

+The Immortal Sector Thanks for looking/commenting, much appreciated. I am sure the collision was reported on TV at the time, it doesn't seem like almost 26 years since it happened. Regards...Bill

Nice video. Sadly I wasn't around when BR was but nice to see how it was before I was born. Hard to think this was filmed 2 days before the 1990 Stafford Collision. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafford_rail_crash_(1990) ^MB

[@84asrd84boxy]

Thanks for looking/commenting, to be honest I didn't realise it was 2 days before the collision at Stafford, thanks for the info, cheers...Bill

[@DowntheJunction]

7:18 is I think 8G12 Departmental from Crewe Basford Hall to Bescot South end, pass time at Stafford 1613hrs

[@84asrd84boxy]

Cheers Simon...Bill

[@DowntheJunction]

86602 at 4:50 on what looks like a Southbound Speedlink service probably destined for Bescot yard.

[@84asrd84boxy]

Cheers Simon, thanks for looking, and the info...Bill

[@DowntheJunction]

84asrd84boxy Bill after digging a WTT out for the period I think this is 6G80 Warrington Arpley to Bescot Speedlink service, pass time at Stafford 1453hrs

[@84asrd84boxy]

Thanks for that Simon, cheers...Bill

[@DowntheJunction]

8:08 86602 heads North so it must have worked that previous train to Bescot and it's now heading back to Crewe or Warrington

[@84asrd84boxy]

Cheers Simon, when this was filmed I had no idea what any of the workings were, I had only had this camera about 9 months when this was done,once again thanks for the info, thanks for looking...Bill

[@DowntheJunction]

Midline liveried 310 unit in the background at 5:34

[@84asrd84boxy]

Cheers Simon, thanks for pointing that out, thanks for looking...Bill
