Memories of Lime Street with Class 31 Power Action,

One of my favorite stations in the UK is Liverpool Lime Street, travelling through the cutting that leads to Lime Street was always a breathtaking occasion and what a fine station,
1...The first clip shows a classic view of the approach to Lime Street as 47841 runs light engine through the cutting after arriving with the 0920 from Plymouth.
2...Next we see 31455 departing with a service to Manchester Victoria.
3...A class 86 arrives with a service from Euston
4...In this clip we see 31408 departing with the 1434 Liverpool to Crewe.
5...In this shot we see 31413 sporting a Red sole bar and looking very smart arriving with 1305 from Blackpool North.
6...The final shot in this compilation shows 31442 departing with the 1510 to Blackpool North.
All these shots were filmed on a wet 8th Aprill 1993.

hi,i Drove all those 31's on that video while it brought back a lot of memories i couldn't help but laugh at the class 31's.Underpowered very noisey and very smelly along with being very dirty.i dont recall many more loco's that were more smokey possibly 56's were a bit more,87's were my favourite very fast,clean and powerful
