Nice bit of Thumper action at 6:00! Love seeing them flying along with the guard van door open. You knew it was hot weather then! What station is 13:20 and thereabouts? Lots of 12-car VEPs!

Two Hastings 33's

I’ve noticed that some people in the comments have called these 33s slim Jims? And I have looked it up and it has said they had narrower bodies compared to the the regular 33s but I haven’t found an explanation of why the 33/2s had narrower bodies? Why were they narrower? Can someone explain please?👍😁

Super video

By the way, if you are looking to build a model railway, 2 cars was typical carriage length pre war, along with 300' platforms which is 47" in OO

Awsome 😊

I'm mystified by the HST shots... Where were they taken ? I can't imagine where you'd get a 3 car DEMU and an HST in the same shot.

Heading to South Dock

These trains should be brought back! Complete with the charactistic sounds and aromas. The modern ones have no character to them. I would have been 8 years old at the time of this film. I recall, as a child, the trains going into London Victoria station. You could see a haze lingering over the parked trains at the buffer stops, as many of the just-disembarked passengers simultaneously lit up a cigarette! (you were not allowed cigarettes on the trains, but back then you were still allowed to at the stations and concourses). Is the LushShop still at London Victoria train station? The strong aromas of the various soaps is permanently engraved into my memory.

Where is 8:33?

It always amazed me the speed these units used to go at, considering how old and flat fronted they were, I mean, they're about as aerodynamic as a block of flats. Great video. 👍💯

Do the windows of the train open? 😂

Ah, Kent link and Kent coast, wonderful times.

1992 is like last week. And yet it’s 31 flipping years ago. These EMUs and their squeaky brakes and slam doors and motor noises and track noise are so familiar. Thanks for posting

Fantastic bit of filming. I’m sure I’ve seen this elsewhere. Great quality and sounds great through headphones 👍

Nice. I am going to model this area. Hi from NZ

Excellent video, thank you. Interesting to see Paddock Wood station.

Thats how I remember York when I was a kid. GNER and Virgin Trains, the old tannoy jingle as well and also on the NRM balcony you used to be able to hear the station PA announcements as well.

Synchronised shunting, was it only the Slim Jims that did this, I notice that some of the wagons were wider

Brilliant video, some great nostalgia there 😊👍

This is very informative and interesting about the Dover Train Ferry

🚂👍

🚂👍

9:30 I think someone forgotten to change the lights.

Wonder if any of the Class 33's at Dover are still around?

When did the class 73s stop running on these lines ?

Super wideo ok filmiki pozdrawiam serdecznie 🌍 kolego 🙂

drag race at 3:40, C'mon boys! Floor it!

Where is the explanation commentary? Are they loading or unloading the Ferry?

This was the same time the Class 465/466 Networkers entered service on the North Kent Line

A nice bit of nostalgia. Thank you for sharing.

Loved these trains! When the Networkers arrived they still had these slammers on the Woolwich line fast service to Gillingham, The Sidcup line and the Hayes line still had them In service until about 1996

Anyone know what the ferry wagon on the trailer was used for? Seems to have some sort of jacks at each end.

Went through there scores if times to go to school in the uk

A lovely bit of nostalgia, although when I lived in the UK it was up north, so this was foreign territory to me. That might be why I've always found that lethal third rail a bit of a worry.

Thanks for this great bit of history. I am still looking for containers being offloaded off ships and onto trains. Or vice versa.

Very like the 001 class Irish loco

Ouch, those are some squeaky flanges!

why do british trains always look grimy and dirty?

Good ol' 61 Strood - Paddock Wood. If you were really lucky you might get a 55 Strood - Tonbridge - Redhill - Three Bridges! Proper trains, driven by Drivers with a capital D. Good ol' EP Brake stock. Course, the EP Brake WAS a DRIVERS brake. Got a few of us out of a few jams did the EP Brake. Just a perfect Brake. Happy days - thank you for sharing.

Great videos, remind me of the days I spent on the south region, chase class 414s and others.

some kind of drag train race , very nice video

Good shots! Did these EMU's also serve Coulsdon?

RUclips is the best alternative to a time machine, love videos of industry gone by.

Wonderful. Those tight radiuses and the steep incline are apparently unbelievably easily taken by the locos.

Excellent location! I've passed by on board NE/SW services so many times in the 70 - 90s, but not realised what a great photo location it was on the curve of the track. Great variety of traction and units. Thanks for sharing - good memories!

This is very cool and everything, but you can see how the Chunnel was a way more efficient solution here.

Paddock Wood before it was taken over by Ashford IECC. Don't often see views from the other side of Battledown flyover

Very nice video back when trains was trains. Paddock wood station looks very different today but how lovely seeing it with the old slam doors. Thanks for the memories.

No plastic or foreign tat ! ! All home grown stuff, where did it all go so wrong ....
