Looking back 30 years will bring back memories for many, plenty of action and variety in this Video of Peterborough , Class 91, HSTs, 31, 37, 47, 20, DMUs. I do hope you enjoy watching, please let me know in the comments.
That 91 with the 43 on the rear was very hard for my brain to process that they were on the same train, same for my friends when I showed them Amazing videos wish trains like these were running more often
Absolutely brilliant footage Roy. All so interesting, particularly the Class 91 test workings and the Civil Engineers trains. Nice to see the Met Camm Class 101 DMUs, and I never realised the Class 128 parcels DMUs got to Peterborough. Great reference here for modellers of the period. All so good, I didn't want the video to end! Thanks very much for posting your British Rail era videos. I enjoy them all.
Brilliant Roy. Spent my childhood spotting days in and around Peterborough. Always a busy railway location. Of course, in those days the grand old covered station existed with the 20/25mph speed restriction on the main up & down. To this day I recall watching green Deltics (most then un-named!), and listening to them, taps fully open as they accelerated away at night - and I lived 2 miles away. New England MPD was in its last year. Amazing times, the like of which we will never see, or hear, again. Thanks for uploading, and especially for spending the time to film the March line traffic coming into the city over the river bridge. Superb.
Brilliant Roy. Love watching all your videos especially from the 1980's and 90's. I wish I had taken more photos than I did back then! Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work. Regards John. :)
Roy Thanks for the trip down memory lane, fantastic selection of different locos and DMUs no endless class 66's on block trains, to think this was just another normal day at Peterborough and what do you get today, and as for the sounds of the different locos, wonderful
@@royharrison4122 I have enjoyed all your videos but the ones from the 80's brings back such wonderful memory's from my time, what a difference from todays offerings suck a variety of locos and units and how busy the railways were
Always thought the hst powercars where just idling to provide power to the coaches HST stock using different system to loco hauled stock, but seems the 91’s where also able to control their power too…….
@@gs425 it was when the 91s were being tested/accumulating mileage, they were used on Peterborough commuter trains and KX - Leeds workings on HST sets in place of one power car until the Mk 4 stock was ready
