thanks for this.The power station at 01.30 is definitely FULHAM. When I lived in that area in the 60's I often wished the Thames bridge was open for foot traffic as it would have saved me about 2 miles walking to school, I believe pedestrians are allowed now?
Do you mind if i ask if the train passed the battersea power station? i see 4 chimneys across from the bridge but that's obviously somthing eles on a much smaller scale- non the less you have some nice footage there :) i wish i could go back in time to those old days, screw the future - i was born at the wrong time!
@ismaelkhan It's all in the notes, but anyhow... At 01:33 we see the train crossing the Thames between Battersea and Chelsea via the Battersea Railway Bridge of 1863 - properly called the Cremorne Bridge, after the pleasure grounds in Chelsea. In the background can be seen the chimneys of the London Underground power station at Lots Road which shut down on 21st October 2002, by which time two of the chimneys had been demolished...
@SouthernRailwayFilms I used to travel on the Kenny Belle when 80015 was the regular engine. I think you will find the power station in the shot at 01:30 is Fulham not Lots Road.
Very interesting; I used to work at Cadby Hall by the Olympia station and often saw this train in diesel days.
There was another late steam working around Kensington Olympia, after the official end of all steam on BR there continued to be a working from the London Transport Depot into Kensington Olympia hauled by one of the LT Pannier tanks. I remember seeing this in 1970.
