Superb footage, especially the Farington Jctn section with all the Pacers and Sprinters in those lovely liveries. Thanks for bringing back happy memories as usual 👍👍

Remagen, location of the famous bridge

Often wondered what Remagen was like, many years ago I was supposed to go there with Shearings but ended up at Assmanshausen because for some reason not many people booked this holiday, still with a freight every ten minutes every 24 hours I didn't complain. Excellent video -DB at their finest.

These videos are a real privilege to watch nowadays now that the traditional trains have been withdrawn.

Nice reflection but a bit after my time (mid 70’s for me) and Bletchley was my Temple. Incidentally 86242 was the Nuneaton smash casualty seen here over a decade later still running.

Fantastic footage 👍

I am modelling a slightly scaled down model of Immingham TMD early 90's in 00 gauge.... fantastic footage I am trying to get my barings right in the video, because I have never been here before... which double track is the class 60 freight trains are coming from.... Habrough or the Ulceby/Brocklesby freight spur

Excellent, very enjoyable footage 👍

Railways under Thatcher were appalling…

A lovely nostalgic look at one of my favourite routes for watching trains! Many thanks, and best regards from Germany!

The L/bourg to Liege line was another lovely line through the Ardennes which provided some superb thrash with the diesels.When i first visited in the late 1980s CFL 1800s and SNCB 55s shared the duties from L/bourg to Liege but this later changed to SNCB locos and CFL carriages.Lovely memories from your filming i it enjoyed very much.

Thank you.

What a great video just listening the HST with the valenta engines brings back such good memorys of the best passenger trains ever.

Lovely film,spent quite a few railway holidays on the CFL between 1989 and around 2005,loved the 1800s.Nice in your film to see the Bell Liner,those containers are from Ireland where i have photographed them,thanks for the memories.

Great dutch loco s 1600 now gone early koplopers and plan v + t apekop yet already out off service nice video again

Nice trip back in the 90s...

Fantastic! Plenty of 1600 class electrics, and the superb lash up of 6400 diesels and of course, the Koplopers . . . If only it was still like that!

another excellent video!

Much altered in the intervening years since......

Used to be great fun at night at Retford seeing the MGRs, mostly 56s if I remember. Before that, it would have been 20s, 40s and 76s up in the Guide Bridge to Sheffield, Wath, Tinsley areas. That was back in the 70s though. Thanks for the video, great memories of a real working railway.

Am I right in thinking that Victoria could be quite an unpleasant place at times back then? Have heard a few friends talking about how it had a reputation for being a bit sleazy. I suppose like so many other train stations back then, Kings Cross being the most famous example.

So many changes to the station and the surrounding area since (y)

Very enjoyable! Brought back lots of memories! Thank you for sharing your precious footage with us.

Most excellent. . .

Hello and thank you for the beautiful shots in Halberstadt. These are very nice memories. Best regards 🙋🏼‍♂️

Fantastic footage of the Motorail operation.

Would I be allowed to use this clip for a video I'm making about Lord Nelson?

Brilliant footage. So good to see the 150s, 156s and 158s in their original liveries 🤩👌

Excelled stuff! My nan and grandad had a van near Prestatyn right next to the train line and I used to just sit watching for trains all day back in the 80s when I was little and had hair. I remember when the Super Sprinter was considered new and I’m only 49 😂 Miss those days (and the days when you could stick your head out of the window for some fresh air). I now know what I’ll be spending my weekend watching. Cheers for uploading all these!

excellent video!

As my local station, it‘s awesome to see it so much earlier

Some great videos, there

Great film. I had a journey in sleeper behind 409 in 98. FW was a funny little place with a lot of railway interest going on

Even though I know nothing about trains back then or now, this is still great to see. Brings back lots of memories and nostalgia. I used to love seeing trains, hearing them, the noises and smells. Something abit magical about it all when I was a kid. My son loves seeing trains too. We know sod all about them but have learnt a bit through playing Train Sim World 3.

Lovely footage of a stunning line. I did the sleeper a fair bit that year when on priv. I think it was around then the service was nearly stopped until apparently some well to do passengers who used it leant on the ScotRail and the Government to save it?

So… southern trains used to be blue and red? I thought only the SWR trains used that paint job?

Lovely!

Wasn't it great to be on a railway station in those days, not constantly bombarded with endless safety and security announcements.

Remember that 1968 when second man a Waterloo on Warship and Western, my Driver Dusty ?.

Wow! How different life was back then - much much simpler!!

I used to take this line often back at around this time. Thanks a lot for posting.

Excellent footage 👍🇧🇪

Great video- thank you for posting. I lived in Denmark for a few yrs recently and its a complete locomotive desert like everywhere else. I remember seeing a few MZ locos though and being suitably impressed- great big ugly brutes- fantastic!

When the railways were British. Not the foreign garbage now.

The MY class loco sounded great 👍😃

That Class 141 is lost.

Nostalgia at it's best - thanks for sharing this!

I worked in Edinburgh in the 90s. Haymarket was my stop for the trains to Falkirk. These trains had real character. Memories and the sounds too. Wonderful .Thank you. ❤

You people take the mick out of train spotters, as for me who works at the beautiful st pancras will never say such a thing, look at this video from then to videos now. Very interesting and thanks.

Thoroughly enjoyable video that. Plenty freight workings and loco hauled turns to get excited about. Never been to Germany but wouldve thoroughly enjoyed watching all those locos back in the day. Them bunnies for haulage must've been amazing. A rover ticket of sorts in them days would've been amazing. That 232 giving it the beans near the end, wow. Thank you for sharing.
