Still providing adequate service too thankyou for putting us all back in time.

@ewloe01

Remember the day in1987 when instead of 45's there were a rake of 150's type 2's operating the Holyhead and llandudno routes.

Never the same again.

Plus the year before they took the 33's off the Cardiff holyhead route.

As a nation we should still be manufacturing locomotives and rolling stock and exporting to the rest of the world,so much changes so quickly its a shame.

[MrJames27011]

This takes me back! a rake of mk1 coaches and a class 40 2000hp diesel magic ! how british railways should still be. wish it was still 1984 !!

[4SRKT]

Can it really be 25 years since this video was made? Can it really be the case that in that time the railways have become such a fucking dull and barren place?

[EWS60008]

Absolutely fantastic stuff there mate. Here is 5 stars and thank you for sharing this.

[aureol40012]

No worries my friend. I sell the whole unedited 8 hours set of footage on DVD if you are interested.

[mart1dy]

What have you got on DVD?

In the late '70's / 80's I always used to visit home in north Wales from Victoria. Oxford road was quicker, but only had DMUs. Vicotria had the 37s, 40s and 47s - often with corridor stock. No contest!
