  • The Class 309 or AM9 as they where known when introduced where the only EMU to wear the BR Maroon. They where one of the best EMUs around.

  • Just look closely at the shape of everyone alighting from the trains - we were a slim generation then. It really shows what cheap junk food has done :(

  • i was the last person to give a 309 the right of way at clacton station 22nd jan 1994. i hope they restore one or two soon, perhaps they could work the walton branch

  • Beautiful. Not a nigger in sight.

  • This footage is amazing. Thankyou so much for uploading it!

  • Thank you Darren for sharing this wonderful footage with us.

  • HD quality......From the 60's, amazing !!!!!

  • Thank you. This is possibly the greatest rail video I have ever seen. It brings MT UK's LSE and GE to life.

    Is this from a documentary available for purchase?

    Sorry, Rivas, but I can't agree with Bellgrove. At the back, there is a ramp to the road (Bellgrove has stairs), I think Bellgrove also has a narrower platform and had a dirfferent style of building before it burnt down. The buildings in the background are bungalows (Bellgrove has industrial buildings). I think this is Muirend, looking towards Williamwood and Neilston.

  • @crazyh0rse so true

  • excellent video

  • I remember the class 310s being in service on the west coast main line up until about 1988
