#Class50 #Class47 #Birmingham Cine Film taken at Birmingham New Street Station on the 11th September 1982 showing the following locos, 50041, 50030, 50001, 47510 & 50025. Cine film converted using the Winait Film Scanner.
Was the best station in the UK at the time. The different traction was amazing and carried on all day. Used to go most saturdays and loved every minute of it
It certainly is now - more retail mall than a station - but back then it had such a variety of traction, plus the odd departmental and freight train. I spent several whole days at BNS during the 80s, usually alighting from the Glasgow sleeper and staying till around 18.00 then hotel. You picked your spot at either end and captured whatever passed in front of you. You did have to move to get the best sunlight though.
