Good stuff - and some long departed "friends" of one of my ex managers appear in this film....a great snapshot of a recent past.

!960's and only 50% of all trains arrived on time!

We must be doing really well now with last years figure being 93.5%

@adelestevens Anybody can fiddle a figure ! its all about targets, figures, percentages and numbers, full of bullshit, thats why the railways are shagged.

'Paperwork must not be allowed to take priority over running trains', etc. - sound commonsense which today's managers would no doubt do well to be reminded of, perhaps? Thanks for sharing - informative, witty, and some very evocative footage.

E3155 was re-numbered far earlier than to 86234 according to this video,it set off at euston as E3155, but ended up at crewe as E3171 !!

[86501freightliner]

E3155 (The AL6 featured in the video) was later 86234, being transferred to the Great Eastern in the mid 80s.

It was for the Privatisation of the railways
