British Rail-Bristol 1988 

Sadly so many turned into razor blades......

The same sad story all over i'm afraid. He'd stand at Temple Meads and be amazed at what has gone. I have more film from Bristol and will upload in time, kepp watching.....

My pleasure, i'm pleased you enjoy it!

Pure serendipity....enjoy! There will be more.....

I have more Bristol shots, including the depot end. Will get it uploaded at some point, keep watching!

Thanks for your comments, i'm pleased to have been of help. I like to know what i am filming (if i can, sometimes they whizz by too fast!) so try and get the fleet numbers, happily i had a full sized VHS E180 tape camera, this meant i didn't need to transfer what i had filmed from a small tape to a full sized tape as i filed on the full sized tape! That kept the quality up happily......Still plenty more to come!

I hope it brings back some good memories for you.....

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus Oh very much so .. In many ways we were spoilt with such good views of a premier loco depot as well 👍🏻

Thank you.... still plenty of golden oldies to upload......

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus looking forward to seeing them the east coast mainline now adays is quite boring really I have to admit I am no fan of the cross country voyager units or the lner azuma units personal I miss the HST and class 91 with the mark 4 stock one locomotive I do remember well on the ecml was the celebrity 47475 In provisional livery and also 45106 in green and the class 37 and 31s and long gone other locomotive classes

I though it only my bus uploads that viewers car spotted on! Well done eagle eyes.....lol I wonder how many other road vehicles can be seen in my railway uploads?......

Yes, it was a great place to film trains. I was out to do the Cromptons as they were due to be replaced by Sprinters...

Yes, i doubt i'd spend long there now videoing!

That was the Portsmouth to Cardiff service. This was taken not long before the route went over to class 156 Super Sprinter operation.

There are some more shots of them on my upload here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ns6gAzbtw4s.html, enjoy!

I used to get the '89' to and from Cardiff most weekends when I was a student in Portsmouth. The 'Poly' was right next to the line between Southsea and Harbour stations. I soon figured out that, for some reason, the 14:10 was diagrammed for a 47, as opposed to the usual 33, Not that I had anything against 33s, they look and sound lovely, but a 47 with '5 on', plus the fact that this was the only service that didn't stop at Westbury, would mean I would have a quick journey home to Wales. At Bristol, there would either be another loco waiting in the bay (where you were filming) to take the train back out, or the original loco would run round. As I said earlier, the main staple of this service was the 33, but you would occasionally get something different on the Cardiff to Bristol leg. I had a 50 one evening - needless to say I had my head out of the window quite a bit. @soi Thanks for the reminders of great times on British Rail

@@taffboyslim My pleasure! I do have some more shots of this route and i did catch a 47 on one working. And that was right at the end of loco hauled working. Once while filming at salisbury a 47 arrived hauling a 2 car DMU that had failed mechanically so it was put into traffic hauled by the 47. I rode it from salisbury all the way to Bristol TM, 47 033 was the loco, and we flew! We took off like a rocket at each station stop.....happy days!

It seems to have 99 headcode, so it might be Brighton - Cardiff

Well, they're still running but as single cars re-numbered to 153's!

I bet the traction variety has gone downhill somewhat since these days?......

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus yes sadly so. Now I get classes 800, 802, 43, 150, 153, 165 and 166

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus yes indeed I can remember spending all day at Temple Meads in those days. I was there last year for my first visit for 30 years and after 1 hour I had enough.

@@superjohnnygamble6328 I imagine it's quite bland now....i will have to get some Bristol vid uploaded, i have more from other visits....and with plenty going on!

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dHYXxjwL2Hc.html check this one out on the Severn Tunnel Junction.

The last 20 seconds is the "parting shot" (of a 38 stock leaving Queens Park on the Bakerloo Line in 1985) which i upload to my videos to put the end cards over so as not to ruin the end of my vid!

Ah! Yes, that's when this power car slammed into 6V17 driven by an Acton driver crossing from the Down Relief to Southall Yard on its way to Westbury. This and the Ladbroke Grove accident both involved Acton train crew, two nasty accidents on out doorstep.

I'll check when I'm home and see what's what, about mid July as i'm away from home now.

Shipphams? I think they make fish paste. Chipman's I think they were called, the weedkiller people
