Peterborough station on a May 1989 morning with a variety of Class 47's seen along with Class 56's, a Class 37, couple of newly introduced Class 91's(including one of Mk1 charter stock), Class 156 and Class 101 DMU's, and some HST's - keep an eye out for the Pullman sets with only 3 Standard Class coaches!

    Sad to think watching this video of 91s being new in May 1989, here we are just over 30 years later and they’re being replaced and retired...

    OMG, great vintage stuff Daz, makes me realize why i like trains, home station, Spital yard looking like it meant business, just how i remembered it, a hive of activity. Took the boy's down there a couple of weeks back and it's a ghost depot now. Great video Daz.

    Excellent footage Darren. Really liked the shots of the 47, 56's and 37 on the freights. The shot of the 91 hauling MK1's must be a rare shot. I also recognise the name of 47501 'Craftsman', good to see a shot of that loco from the past.

    Another absolute corker Darren! Seeing these videos is making me consider changing the era of my new layout to this period - you're certainly providing plenty of reference material!

    My favorite video of older British trains, I'm a big fan from America and love the older trains
  • @plane15

    Great footage mate, shame those intercity days are over when you see how fun those trains were just 20 years ago.
  • @thomasnorton2679

    A bit after my time. I remember going peterborough on 4 or 5 occasions in the earlier 80's and most of the freight went down the outer sidings which is now the new platform. Seems very nostalgic to see so many 47's. Hopefully you've got a decent tape of March depot in your collection. I have fond memories of scouting about that loco graveyard around 85 or 86.

    The good old days of INTERCITY and blue and white livery's. The BR 156 sprinters are still in use now, on Scotrail services.

    Peterborough Station, in my opinion, isn't as varied anymore. Where do I live? A South Lincolnshire town between Peterborough and Grantham.
  • @Vortigan07
    Excellent footage! Brings into sharp relief just how banal and utterly soulless it all is today.
