British Rail 1989-Bristol Variety with classes 08, 37, 47, 56, 155, HST & DMU 

Thanks for your comments.....Other enthusiast's thought i was mad at the time, 'video veg' would waft out of the windows of railtours or workings with locos, 37s hauled trains spring to mind! Although in later years i too would be in the front coach of a crank ex with the 37s bashers, having got to know some of them from driving the locos at work! But i captured so great workings of BR, or in later days, BR traction in action, so we can now all look back at how good it was.....

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Thank you.

Probably my only vid of 407 in blue although i have a fair bit from it's time in freight colours.......

We do all the time, since the invention of te steam engine, it's just we can't see all the fumes we breathe in!

WR PC’s often worked cross country services at that time.

Thank you......

Thank you, still plenty more to come....I always like to catch a gronk at work, their duties had gone down year on year as freight work fell away and loco sheds and sidings were closed......

Some were allocated to Bath Road for the Westbury stone traffic before the 59s came along and replaced them.

And with 46 years mainline service, and whilst some survive on secondary duties, their heyday is sadly over, but I think the marque will easily reach the half century when the secondary duties are taken into account Theres still life in them yet

@@Keithbarber yes i believe that there is

I've always had a soft spot for them ever since seeing my first in the summer of 1976 when i was a child. I did manage to get every power car on video as well although missed a few for haulage! (but not those written off, i had them)

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus cool I watched a programme a couple of years ago about the InterCity 125 when they were developing it they were competing against another train & the 125 won it was a fascinating programme

@@ussvoyager8650 The other train could have been the electric APT which didn't make it. Some old school BR engineers offered the BR Board a disel version which did work, and that was the HST!

Thank you...yes, there are a few shots lurking on disc somewhere of Bath Road viewed from the platform.....

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus I hope you'll upload them sometime soon... I'm a railway modeller and I'm making a depot very much based on Bristol Bath Road (but without the GWR heavy repair shop). Oh... just a small request... Your videos are prefect research material for railway modellers... so it's really useful to see what types of coaches a loco hauled, or how many wagons in a rake. So please don't be tempted to cut out bits like that... seeing the whole train is really useful for historians and modellers alike!

@@Cliffjumper24 I fully agree with that.
