During the summer of 1986, my good friend Alan travelled around the UK, armed with a hefty VHS camera, recording the railway scene. I'm delighted to be able to bring you the results. In Part 2, Alan spends some time around Inverness. We see classes 08, 26, 37, 47 and 55! Deltic 55022 / D9000 Royal Scots Grey had made a rare visit to the Highland capital for the Inverness Depot Open Day, held on June 28th. Alan filmed it heading back south in the consist of a class 37 hauled freight working. At the open day, 37420 had been named 'The Scottish Hosteler'; later on in the film we see this loco in immaculate condition. Alan managed to get some fabulous shots of trains on the old bridge across the River Ness, less than three years before it was swept away during flooding in February 1989. Amongst others, we see 37114 'Dunrobin Castle' double heading with a class 26 on a train bound for Kyle of Lochalsh and still to be named 37418 arriving with a service from the North. We also see an unidentified class 47 leaving with the overnight 'Royal Highlander' to Euston and another 47 performing a rather unusual reversing manoevre with a loaded train. This move would be most unacceptable on today's BR but back in the 80s it was quite common at Inverness. At the end of the day, trains from both the north and south would make use of the triangle around the depot to reverse their loaded train into the platform, thereby allowing the train loco to shunt the stock into the carriage siding, thereby alleviating the need for an 08 shunter. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this video. Please leave comments below. Thank you.
1986 की गर्मियों के दौरान, मेरे अच्छे दोस्त एलन ने ब्रिटेन के चारों ओर यात्रा की, एक भारी वीएचएस कैमरे से लैस होकर, रेलवे दृश्य को रिकॉर्ड कर रहा था। मैं आपको परिणाम लाने में सक्षम होने के लिए खुश हूं। भाग 2 में, एलन कुछ समय इनवर्नेस के आसपास बिताता है। हम कक्षा 08, 26, 37, 47 और 55 देखते हैं! Deltic 55022 / D9000 रॉयल स्कॉट्स ग्रे ने 28 जून को आयोजित इनवर्नेस डिपो ओपन डे के लिए हाइलैंड की राजधानी का दुर्लभ दौरा किया था। एलन ने इसे 37 वर्ग के फ्रेट वर्किंग से मिलकर दक्षिण की ओर बढ़ते हुए फिल्माया। खुले दिन में, 37420 को 'द स्कॉटिश हॉस्टलर' नाम दिया गया था; बाद में फिल्म में हम इस लोको को बेदाग हालत में देखते हैं। फरवरी 1989 में बाढ़ के दौरान बह जाने से तीन साल से भी कम समय पहले एलन ने नेस नदी के पार पुराने पुल पर ट्रेनों के कुछ शानदार शॉट्स प्राप्त करने में कामयाबी हासिल की। लोचलश के काइल के लिए बाध्य एक ट्रेन और अभी भी इसका नाम 37418 है जो उत्तर से एक सेवा के साथ पहुंचती है। हम एक अज्ञात वर्ग 47 को रात भर 'रॉयल ​​हाईलैंडर' के साथ यूस्टन के लिए रवाना होते हुए देखते हैं और अन्य 47 एक भरी हुई ट्रेन के साथ असामान्य रूप से उलटने वाले युद्धाभ्यास का प्रदर्शन करते हैं। यह कदम आज के बीआर पर सबसे अस्वीकार्य होगा लेकिन 80 के दशक में यह इनवर्नेस में काफी आम था। दिन के अंत में, उत्तर और दक्षिण दोनों की ट्रेनें अपनी लोडेड ट्रेन को प्लेटफॉर्म में उलटने के लिए डिपो के चारों ओर त्रिकोण का उपयोग करेंगी, जिससे ट्रेन लोको को स्टॉक को कैरिज साइडिंग में शंट करने की अनुमति मिलती है, जिससे आवश्यकता कम हो जाती है। 08 शंटर के लिए। मुझे इस वीडियो के बारे में आपके विचार सुनना अच्छा लगेगा। कृपया नीचे टिप्पणी छोड़ें। धन्यवाद।
1986 年夏天,我的好朋友艾伦带着一个巨大的 VHS 摄像机环游英国,记录铁路场景。我很高兴能够为您带来结果。在第 2 部分中,艾伦花了一些时间在因弗内斯。我们看到 08、26、37、47 和 55 班! Deltic 55022 / D9000 Royal Scots Grey 在 6 月 28 日举行的因弗内斯仓库开放日期间罕见地造访了高地首府。艾伦在一次 37 级拖运货运工作中拍摄了它向南返回的过程。在开放日,37420 被命名为“The Scottish Hosteler”;后来在电影中,我们看到这个机车完好无损。艾伦设法在尼斯河上的旧桥上拍摄了一些精彩的火车照片,不到三年,它在 1989 年 2 月的洪水中被冲走。除其他外,我们看到 37114 号“邓罗宾城堡”双头,26 级一列开往洛哈尔什的凯尔的火车,仍将被命名为 37418,从北方开往。我们还看到一班身份不明的 47 班机带着一夜之间的“皇家高地人”驶往尤斯顿,而另一班 47 班机则用满载的火车进行了一次相当不寻常的倒车操作。这一举动在今天的 BR 上是最不能接受的,但早在 80 年代,这在因弗内斯就很常见了。在一天结束时,来自南北的列车将利用车站周围的三角形将其装载的列车倒车到月台上,从而允许列车机车将库存分流到车厢侧板,从而减轻需要对于 08 分流器。我很想听听你对这个视频的看法。请在下方留言。谢谢你。
1986年の夏、私の親友のアランは、巨大なVHSカメラを装備して英国を旅し、鉄道のシーンを記録しました。結果をお届けできることをうれしく思います。パート2では、アランはインバネスの周りで時間を過ごします。クラス08、26、37、47、55があります。 Deltic 55022 / D9000 Royal Scots Greyは、6月28日に開催されたInverness Depot Open Dayのために、ハイランドの首都をめったに訪れませんでした。アランはそれを南に向かって撮影し、クラス37の運搬貨物で構成されていました。オープンデーでは、37420は「スコットランドのホステラー」と名付けられていました。映画の後半では、このロコが真っ白な状態で見られます。アランは、1989年2月の洪水で流されてから、3年も経たないうちに、ネス川を渡る古い橋で列車の素晴らしいショットを撮ることができました。カイル・オブ・ロカルシュ行きの列車で、まだ37418という名前で、北からのサービスで到着します。また、正体不明のクラス47が、夜通しの「ロイヤルハイランダー」でユーストンに向けて出発し、別の47が、積載された列車でかなり珍しい逆転操作を実行しているのがわかります。この動きは、今日のBRでは最も受け入れがたいものですが、80年代には、インバネスでは非常に一般的でした。一日の終わりに、北と南の両方からの列車は、デポの周りの三角形を利用して、積載された列車をプラットフォームに戻し、それによって列車の機関車が車両のサイディングにストックをシャントできるようにし、それによって必要性を軽減します08シャンターのために。このビデオについてのあなたの考えを聞いてみたいです。以下にコメントを残してください。ありがとう。

Thanks for the great comments DP. Really glad you’re enjoying the collection. I couldn’t agree with you more about how much character UK railways had back in the 80s. For me,this was the heyday of British operations. It could be argued that the railways are actually more reliable now, with modern equipment, improved infrastructure, cost savings from standardisation, increased availability of stock, improved revenue return, higher passenger loading (pre COVID!) and reduced underutilisation of assets. But, as you say, so much of the character and interest has been lost.

Born in Inverness and spent many a summer watching the 37s/26s running up the Kyle Line, I used to fish at Clachnaharry, as a 15 year old by the swing bridge and watch in awe as these huge machines slowed way down to cross over. I was 15 when this was filmed, now I’m almost half a century, seems like so long ago now, before everything got so complicated!! A great piece of history captured for posterity! I wonder if there’s any more out there?

Really pleased that Alan’s films have brought back such great memories for you Alex. I was 17 when this was filmed, but whenever we could afford it, my friend and I would head up North for a few days. We loved the 37s. I wonder whether I ever saw you fishing?

Great video👍 Brings back many happy memories catching the sleeper with my dad. Unfortunately we didn't get up there till the early 90s. Still a good selection of engines, but sprinters had started to replace locos on the far north lines. Had a few trips down to Kyle behind "dutch" 37s. One trip up there 47702 came out of the shed freshly repainted in NWSE toothpaste colour. We've a pic of it with the Inverness TMD sign in the background. Long trip up from the peak district. Back then I think I went for a pound as part of the rail rider club🤔

Thanks for the brilliant comment Paul. Really glad you’re enjoying the collection and that the vids are bringing back such fabulous memories. Wasn’t the old Rail Riders club brilliant? We would travel on a family railcard, even though the adult in our group wasn’t our parent - that didn’t matter. The adult (over 18) paid half price and all the under 18s paid just one pound, irrespective of the length of journey! And if you had your book of Rail Riders vouchers (like a cheque book - cost one pound for five pounds worth of vouchers if I remember correctly) then you could pay your fare with a single one pound voucher. Wonderful! I’d love to see the photo you have of 47702 at Inverness in NSE. 47702 is a special loco for me, but I only realised a few days ago that it worked Waterloo Exeter services in the early 90s in NSE livery whilst still carrying its Saint Cuthbert nameplates. I was watching a fabulous RU-vid clip by a guy called Soi - I’ll try to send you the link.

How on earth did they think a X2 car sprinter could replace a X6 carriage train 🙄 I had happy memories of Inverness in the 70s as my late Dad took me on a merry maker rail tour from Manchester 👍🏻 BR used stock at weekend for trips all over the county and I had fantastic day trips out for cheap 😆 I joined the Manchester City supporters club so I could go on footx specials too away matches as they used old MK1 coaches and usually Old locomotive like class 40s hehe 😂 I visit Inverness with my job now and often go to the station. The most interesting thing at the moment is the two West Coast Railways class 37s on the timber train. Hopefully it'll be successful and keep going keeping lorries off the busy A9 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie 😎

Wow Stevie! I went on a lot of Merrymakers from Manchester. They were indeed great fun. I never knew they’d ever gone as far as Inverness. What time did it set off and get back? I love the fact that you joined the MCfC supporters club so you could ride on the footex trains. Being a Stockport County fan, we rarely had footex specials, although there was one memorable occasion when we played Burnley at Wembley. BR put on a special from Stockport formed of a pair of 31s with twelve mk1 coaches. Because of possessions, we were diverted around the Birmingham suburbs - great fun but we arrived at Wembley so late that we almost missed kickoff!

Kartwheelkarl Railway, Railroad, Trains & Travel . Hi. The Inverness trip was overnight starting at Stockport. It came round the old Reddish Denton line. My late Dad booked it as he loved trains. We caught it from Manchester Victoria. Class 40 to Preston. Loco change. Think it was an 86? To Mossend. Loco change but I can't remember what it was. Stopped at Aviemore. Coach to Aviemore hotel for breakfast. Coach trip to Loch Ness then continued to Inverness for the rest of the day. The train continued ECS. Then we returned home. I remember it being a very long day out and stood at the window all the up. I was knackered coming home. That's my recollection of that train trip. Yours sounds great as well. Cheers Stevie.

@TheDaf95xf 3 года назад
Morning Alan. I was a little boy back then so a trip of that magnitude was absolutely fantastic. My Dad looked at the Manchester evening news every week looking for any trips advertised. I worked for BR in the 70s at Timperley station as a porter and relief at other stations for overtime. As a BR employee we got the merrymaker notification 2 weeks early. £5 a trip lol 😆 I couldn’t agree more that some train franchise should do then again. A day trip to Brighton was always good and the mystery trips. I did Hastings via Wakefield Doncaster EC main line then some freight lines Ashford the Sandwich happy days. Had lots of cab rides and spent many hours in Skeleton junction signal box when it was really busy with all three lines in use. Have a lovely day stay safe. Cheers Stevie.

Some great stuff there. The 37/26 combo wasn't that common, nice to see it. The 47/37 was pretty rare though, probably a failed 37. The 37/Deltic was a million to one shot, the 55 was returning from a BR Open Day at Inverness. Sad to say, virtually everything in the video has been greatly altered, rationalized - they called it. There's 5 signalboxes missing from the scene now, just around the station, not counting Clachnaharry. I wonder though, if I had told Alan in 1986, that old southern region ED 73s would end up working the sleeper - what would he have called me?☺

A great video from 1986, Inverness seems busier than I would have imagined. Mind you they way they shuttle the 37/26 combo back and fore is perhaps why there are so many moves. Have seen discussions on RMWEB about whether or not the inspection saloon where used for public use as an observation coach. Have seen so many photos and video of it in the line North of Inverness I do wonder if it was deployed as an observation coach for a while. Maybe the engineers felt it needed a lot of inspections! Thanks for posting these. 1986 is my favourite year and I look forward to viewing all of them.

@kartwheelkarl 5 месяцев назад
I agree about the 71, especially considering how good large logo looked on the class 73. To the best of my knowledge, no class 86 or 87 ever carried large logo blue and yellow in real life. Lima produced a fictitious version of 87022 in large logo (I have one and it actually looks good!) and, during 1984, 87006 carried an experimental version of large logo in dark grey. 86235 Novelty perhaps got closest to large logo - it had wrap round yellow ends but not the actual large logo! @@user-cb9im9uv6e

So I wasn't imagining things when I went to Inverness as a kid in 1985. An early MK2 that was a mix of 1st and 2nd class. Built as standard or modified?
@kartwheelkarl
@kartwheelkarl 3 года назад
I used to travel regularly on a Glasgow and Edinburgh to Inverness trains Adam. The standard rakes used on these services always had one of the coaches I think you’re referring to, namely a pressure ventilated Mk2 corridor coach with both first and second class compartments (CK or corridor composite). We would always make a bee line for these coaches because the second class compartments were effectively declassified first class compartments. As far as I’m aware, the coaches were built as FKs (corridor firsts) but were later converted to CKs, presumably because there wasn’t enough demand for a full first class coach on these services. I’d have to do additional research to offer any further detail though.
@adamw2911
@adamw2911 3 года назад
@@kartwheelkarl sounds very plausible. Declassified seating has always been out there. The Chiltern trains units had their first class removed in the late 1990s, however the actual seating remained for a few years. To be honest it wasn't that much better than the standard but most people headed for it.

@kartwheelkarl 3 года назад
@@adamw2911 I grew up near Manchester Adam. As built, the class 304 four car emus had three first class corridor compartments, complete with a toilet, in one of the centre trailers. These were declassified in the late seventies when all local services became second class only. It was a real treat for my friends and I to travel to Crewe on a Saturday morning in those compartments. Sadly, the units were eventually converted to three car sets, with the removal of that coach!
