  • Just wondering why theres Intercity Stock at Dover Marine/Western Docks Station? I know they used to use a Swallow livery diesel for VSOE trains.

  • @goldie103103 If I recall correctly, the stock in question was a Manchester Piccadilly working.

  • It's gut wrenching to watch, but what an excellent video. I was born and raised in Dover and my father was a driver at Dover town yard from the 70s right up till it got ripped up, this was supposed to be what I was going to do when I grew up! Watching it get ripped up was heart breaking!

    But have you got any else of this end of Kent? It doesn't get much decent video coverage like this!

  • I have another clip on here of Dover Priory to Dover Western Docks as seen from an EMU. Apart from that, I don't think I have very much more.

  • I was a signal lad at Hawksbury street many moons ago. What a treasure this is. Five stars

  • Keep watching Stuart, you will soon see a clip from a train passing Hawksbury Street on it's way into Western Docks station.

  • great video thanks for sharing thumbs up

  • @Panarail Oh right. all you get at Dover Priory these days is London Victoria, London Charing Cross or St Pancres International Trains other than ones running though to Ramsgate.

  • Great footage as always, cheers

  • Thats "Archcliffe junction" at 2.37 by the way..

    Stuart.

  • That is Archcliffe boa at "2.37" bye the bye.

    Stuart..

  • @oliverturner88 quote "...my father was a driver at Dover town yard...this was supposed to be what I was going to do when I grew up! ".

    Hi, how does this work - your father has a job that is a reasonably paid and a bit of a "nice number", so somehow he gets you a job where he works. Forgive my ignorance - but don't you have to apply and take your chances with all the other applicants.

    I've heard of this type of system before - is this what they call a "closed shop" ?

  • In a recent Wallander episode - 2010, I spotted locos loading rail freight onto a Denmark/Sweden ferry.

    Still works for some...

  • Great video, love the cliff backdrop.
