Still on my wanders around the midlands in February 1987. I sat myself at Peterborough station.The weather was perking up nicely and as the sun was getting low in the sky, I was getting some glorious shots of HST's heading North and South. All London bound and Ex London services were in the hands of "HST's" and the Birmingham to Norwich and V.V were still in the hands of the faithfull class 31's. There was at that time quite a variety of traction to be seen and was a busy place for services from many different parts of the Eastern counties. Enjoy this little episode from the 1980's era.

Thank you! I've said it before and I'll say it again: I could very happily watch these 80s videos all day! Oh to have a time machine! Some people want to go back to the dinosaur era, some to the year zero, I would set it for 1980 and just spend my life on trains! 😊

Travelling from Leicester to Norwich for me was a real treat. Corridoor coaches, telegraph lines, and a very very long clackety clack section between Peterborough and Norwich going through forest amplifying the 31's growl. Abba was number one last time i went there with Souper Trouper haha

Like how they were wiring up the OHLE while trains were running, not a chance that would happen today.
