The Poulton & Wyre Railway have recently purchased a vintage class 108 DMU. This video is hopefully one of many showing the volunteers working to bring it back in to service.
Should have purchased an HST when they get taken out of service.I know they will cost a lot more.it would be amazing to see an HST on this route as I live in Blackpool.
What a superb video and hard work on the clean up. It tells a story as it goes along. On the subject of Poulton and Railway tracks etc please allow this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8XyviUn59QY.html as it is of interest to those who see yours too. If you add a comment and post a link to this video, of course it will stay up. :) Jane
which DMU came as 3 cars with the 2 end cars having the motors and the exhausts ran up the gap in between to the roof? (used to be on the Oxford - Banbury route in BR times.)
My God!!! Look at the age of the men doing all the work!!! They have to be retired!!!! Where is all the young men say 18 to 40!!!!!!!! Why are they not out there by the dozens working on them. The white working class??????
It has undergone more thorough repairs than what is seen in the video and is able to run. It just needs to actually be placed on the Poulton & Wyre Railway itself. Its currently at the (disconnected) repair site near Burn Naze.
This is just one small step in the restoration process. The original plan was to create extra video updates as time goes by; unfortunately circumstances don't always permit this.
