BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
Slough Station & Newbury Racecourse Station on 2nd May 1994
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Slough and then Newbury Racecourse. I managed to witness and capture on video two rail tours, firstly Hertfordshire Railtours and "The Big E" from London Paddington to Exeter. Seen calling at Slough with locomotives 20118 + 20131 in charge, then later the same evening at Newbury Racecourse station on the Tour's return to Paddington with triple headed haulage. Locomotives 37799 + 37776 + 37896. Shortly after The Big E departed Slough Station was visited by "Flying Scotsman Services" Rail tour to Barnstaple with 47484 "Isambard Kingdom Brunel" . 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. My special thanks to www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk for verification of the loco details. This site is invaluable, give it a visit.....
