Brings back great memories of driving those 47s. They really were a hard worked loco that delivered when required.
-
Well done lad well done. Amazing videos from 21 years ago. I love the clagging.
-
As a young lad its honestly great that people like you were around in the days of iconic diesels with your cameras so I can see the past, very much enjoyed :)
-
Those Class 47 hauled trains were a hell of a lot more comfortable to ride that the current options.
-
Brings back memories I am so glad that I was around to see and travel on these, a memory that I will not forget.Well done Mike
-
Wonderful stuff Mike, another superb blast from the past !
-
Brilliant Video! Absolutely great to see the HST's and the 47s doing to the routes to and from Poole would love it if cross country decide to bring that sort of service back one day 🙂
-
lovely old trains :) wish i was old enough to be riding around on them when they were out on the mainline
-
Great video keeps my memories alive thank God for you and your friends dav k

Fantastic Sulzer selection there Mike, plus a few other goodies too - EPS 37604 a great capture in particular! Like Steve, the late nineties to late noughties was the period I mostly missed out on filming(well, girls tend to be more interesting than trains - although sometimes just as reliable!), so I look forward to seeing more of your nostalgic uploads.

The class 47's were great locos, worked on them for 40 years. Great design
-
Cracking video. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and great memory’s. The Silverlink 321 in the final clip is just a bigger piece of history now along side the 47s

Even though we probably have never (and will never) like their Pendos and Voyagers compared to loco hauled sets, Virgin Trains was a very good TOC. Very fair prices, good punctuality. For example, not long before the franchise ended I could get from New St to London on a weekend for a fiver with my railcard. In 2018 I went from New St to Edinburgh first class return on a Wednesday for £90. Now, Avanti and CrossCountry have ridiculously high fares, never any discounts or offers.

Thank you. That brings back memories. 😀
-
Love these old clips Mike !
-
Love the sound of a 47

Brilliant video. thanks.

Long gone...mores the pity.. I remember when I was 47....Well done mate

The days - the final days - when trains were comfortable and there were actual people making station announcements rather than automated nannying.
