  • How many electrics have been saved? I know the class 89 is ok but what about class 82's or the later (and probably the most successful) class 87's?

  • the ac electric group have preserved a few electrics and their is an 87 in the NRM.

  • Very sad to see these once proud loco's reduced to rusty silent ghost's, very sad indeed!! Would I be correct in thinking that the partly sheeted over locos are ''accident victims''?? Great filming by the way.

  • yes a couple of them looked as they had been on fire

see all

  • Sad to see.Have great memories of these at Stockport.Used to see many of these lined up at Longsight depot from the train to Manchester Piccadilly on my train spotting jaunts. Glad to have seen these wonderful locomotives in action.Pleased that these images have been preserved.Job well done! Enjoyed watching although sad to see.Thanks for sharing.

  • why didnt you hop in one ?

  • @thehoff1982 One of each of class 81 - 85 have been preserved, Two of which we see here, the two Intercity liveried locos 82008 and 83015 are still alive but not currently in running order. Several 86s have been preserved as have a couple of 87s and the 89 which you mentioned, which is currently being restored and may run again, as may 85101! The roarers aren't entirely dead just yet! :-)

  • I did see a Class 86 in NSE colours at Crewe last week. I wonder how long it's been standing there as NSE was finished in 1996.

  • Farewell old electric railways, We hope plans in the future which is take place to build-up for Classic British Railway History of Museum.

  • Oh god!... Pretty sad isn't!... Should arrange plans of the nation building for railway museum all over the country anway. Oh dear loss of withdrawn by electric railway best isn't...

  • Bloody premature. These great locos had years ahead of them. The catenary ought to have been more extensive. Looks like we'll have to wire the lot at the last minute.

  • 82008 at the start is preserved

  • hauntingly sad...

  • It's such a dull colour I think I'd rather have the sectorisation paint job thanks.
