British Rail Network SouthEast-Exeter June 1989 

Glad you enjoyed it...... Still have more to come.....

My pleasure.......lots more to come!

I have a lot more from here and will upload over time.

I doubt Exeter has so much variety these days?......

This is just a section of a longer session i did there that day. it has quite a few rateable bits in it!

Thank you.... Am still out & about filming. I need to visit the West Counttry to catch the HST short set before they get the chop!

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus grand stuff. I've not seen many hst's sets over west country side as been unable to get there. Hope you get what you need and much more too. Good luck and have fun in this good hobby

I was thinking the same deejay

Craig Mitchell38 the worst part is I can’t remember ever travelling on an Inter City 125!

They will still be seen at Exeter on the short formed sets but with no Valenta thrash sadly.......

Yes, Exeter was a good spot for a bit of everything. I remember staying there for a couple of days in 1992 and stayed out filming until 01.00 or later! I have the Plymouth-Glasgow sleeper on film and an accident damaged 33 009 being towed in from Meldon Quarry where it had had a shunting mishap!

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus absolutely. I always looked forward to getting to st David's as a child back in the 80s on many trips to paignton. Seeing the mix of traction was by far better than the seaside trip lol. Keep them coming if you've got more!

Oh! Have no fear, there is a LOT more to come.........

Thank you. I do have lots more to get up, so keep watching!........

Always a good spot with lots going on, well back then anyway!

I do bits (like when at Padd filming the last HST's there) but can't get too enthused like days past...

Thank you.

I like a bit of thrash myself, and the Valanta's had plenty compared to the MTU engines. All EE engines are great but for sheer 'beast' power nothing sounds like a Deltic in full cry! I rode behind a Hymek D7076 on the West Somerset once and even tough it was low speed it made some pretty impressive sounds. I can only imagine what they were like on the main line at speed!

Network Rail or Railtrack both haven't got a clue what they are for! Railtrack from day said they were a property company, they didn't quite get the bit about all those trains running around getting in the way of them making property deals! And Network Rail believes's it's an engineering company so makes sure all those shiny bits of metal stay together (which is better than R/T's p**s poor efforts) and bugger off aftterwards leaving a mess behind. Because the way BR was dismantled (it wasn't smashed, the professional railwaymen/women took it apart bit by bit with all the legalities nice tied up for each bit, which shows you how good they really were considering the complexities of BR) there is now no-one in charge of 'The Railway' ! Unlike in London say, where although the bus services are provided by private companies the network is controled by TfL, fares & timetables set by them. There is someone in charge to oversee the system. At the very least that is what is needed with the railways....BR Board MkII anyone?........

Soi Buakhao indeed Soi. Oh for working for the railway when it was run by people who knew what they were doing!
