BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1980's
Hither Green Station on 22nd November 1989
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Hither Green Station taken on 22/11/1989. Captured are many of the 1951/57 stock (4 EPB/2 EPB) on suburban services to and from London Bridge and the South East areas of London and Kent. Several stone trains and engineers trains are witnessed. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.

Great video, Hither Green was a still is a favourite haunt. Remember the 56 ArC trains running through Bexley. Going round depot with usually upto 10 locos on depot and of course the sidings. Great videos love the EPBs and CEPs

the familiar whine of the EMUs. And you couldn't mistake a 33 sound for any other engine. Love it. Just around the days when everyone started getting video cameras - my parents first hired one from DER in about 1986. Probably bought one 1989. 8:53 those trains are gloriously filthy lol

Wonderful archive video. Just loved the Cromptons and i wonder if that class 31 had come over from Stratford to collect a failed 47325 ? Thanks for sharing, regards, Colin.

What a great video, capturing a very busy Hither Green station with a grand amount of different freights too. I've spotted a few unusual workings too for 1989, it was rare in those days to see "bagpipes " (class 33/1s) on freights on the south eastern section let alone two double heading that ballast train southbound , and also to see a class 31. The 31 passed southbound and took the approach road into Hither Green yard , it returned past heading North pulling a "dead" 47 I may be wrong but I suspect it was sent from somewhere up north to collect the "duff" to return it to its home depot for repairs . Great video sir, I'm a big fan and love your vids for prosperity.

awwww brilliant. guys i spent about 7 hours at berrylands back in the early 1990s one afternoon..well morning went into afternoon with a video recorder and remembering a hampton court service train driver went down to hampton court, upto waterloo then down and back up again..and then he said to me when he stopped..”awight mate..you still here? blimey!!” and the other day, i saw a pic of berrylands station, and in the picture there is a back metal grit/salt bin on the platform and i remember that day putting that video recorder case on this bin and using it as a table to set up the camera. so gutted as i lost those tapes unfortunately!!

A surprising number of CEPs in 'Jaffa Cake' livery considering that it was only current for about a year. And (5:25) an MLV! 😮

About a quarter of the type received the Jaffa Cake livery if I'm correct. Many got the livery in the run up to the start of electric train services to Hastings.
