Class 101 DMU at Ramsbottom, East Lancashire Railway

The seventh in a nine part series of videos filmed at the East Lancashire Railway's Autumn Diesel Gala, on Saturday 18th October 2008.

The ELR's Class 101 DMU enters Ramsbottom station from the goods loop, ready to work a return shuttle service to Bury.

Thanks to Woolybak8, Ilovetrains2008 and David Holden for the company and laughs, and also to mststv, Bradleigh10 and pjunzi for being there as well. I recommend viewing their channels if you haven't already seen them!

Poetry in motion. These trains rock. They are the best.

An excellent vid! looks like a typical transition scene from the late 60's.

Was that the crossing gates opening the last second of this vid? A lovely livery on the 101. The one I've seen on the Noth Norfolk is BR blue as I remember all stock in the '70s. I'm going to have to make a trip on the ELR ere long with the tribe. Just a Metrolink tram ride away.... :-))))

The gates were closing over just as the 101 was pulling in. Thanks Isochest!

Sitting behind the driver on a nice spring morning observing the view. I sure do miss it. How anyone can say steam is better than these is beyond me. I guess it just depends on your generation and when you gew up.

And I vaguely remember one on the Conwy Valley line a decade ago now too! Cheers!

Great stuff! I can just remember the 101s in Scotland! 5*
