Had the great pleasure of travelling a good part of this journey (Edinburgh-Pitlochry return) in an Inter7City Scotrail HST set in April , it was such a smooth and comfortable ride even with the tighter seats these days. And still the same smell from the brakes as when I first rode an HST in 1981!

OK here's a question: Are there as many preserved locos in any other class as in A4?

6:43 look at that flying Scotsman the worlds famous steam loco in the world is helping out its rival mallard the worlds fastest steam engine in the world by doing double header light engine movement

It's a lot dearer coming from Cambridge . You have to go to Stevenage and then go down Ecml to get to Spalding. Bloody stupid.

Enjoy that speed record while you can a4 mallard Because in 6 years PRR T1 5550 is about to beat it

Pure magic. If only I had one of those DeLorean time traveling cars, 1984 would be a set favourite. Thanks Roy.

Great seeing class 08242 moving, only ever saw it dumped in Holmes Yard in the late 80s with class 08386.

I think I was on that train with 5 little kids all headed for Skeggy. It broke down halfway and we were marooned for about 6 hours. We arrived in Skeg as the un set so had to cross to the other platform and go straight back home. No apologies no compensation and yet it has actually got worse since privatisation. Last twice I travelled by train I had the same experience - marooned for hours by both signals breakdowns and engine breakdowns. The heating in our carriage was stuck full on - in summer - and people were passing out from heatstroke.

Total waste. Should have kept line open

1:16 the mallard's whistle from train and rail yard simulator

Some interesting formations with the 91’s. 7,8 and 9 cars plus one with 2 buffets. When I used to go spotting in the Early 90’s only ever remember them pretty much being fixed Loco-9-DVT formations. Great Vid.

Those 37’s need the idle sorted out as for the 47 def.

Nice clag!!!

True Steampunk beauty 😍

The Real Northern Powerhouse as it was. Free of lies and Islamic Gangsters enabled by our so called government

Excellent!

Great filming, thank you

I was here then!

Loved the video. Thanks for sharing mate.

Choo choo

"I love these new pacers! I hope they stick around for ever!" -Someone in the 80s, probably

Even the rakes of carriages were interesting back then mk1s mk2s mk3s. Sometimes all in the same train. I love the peak in its unfinished paint work.

Ancasters brake van is still there in 2024.😮

Thank you so very much ❤

Fantastic memories ❤ not ever forgotten! X

Nothing wrong with the quality. We can see what we can and that's ok.

I love the fact there were foot crossings at these main line stations. Something I saw at this time in Portugal places such as Aveiro Espinho and Porto Campanha

nice, i love these old videos of railways

Always exciting as a child in the 70's riding this line with my mum & sister for s day out with the wind,spray &rain pounding the train window 😅

Wow that brought back some memories. I would have only been 10 at the time, but I have great memories of Worksop open days. Spoilt for choice for open days back then with Tinsley, Crewe, Coalville, Doncaster. I remember getting the special from Doncaster through Maltby and Dinnington.

So many great locos, I loved the 20's and the Peaks in the video. I remember school summer holiday visits to York and how exciting it was to see so many trains there.

What’s that at 6.52 ? Looks like a ghost of a Victorian car !!!!

Why would the Guard tell people to change at York for Thirsk or Northallerton, when the Train had come through those places to get to York in the first place...?

@3:12 nice to see the fly-ash service - so rarely witnessed... and how fondly I remember the 25/3s stabled in Euston, left idling for hours. Soon as you came down ramp you could hear that distinctive Sulzer "clonk, clonk, clonk" great days sorely missed

Postland signal box still exists albeit in terrible condition but complete with lever frame in place. Being single I`d love to live in a signal box.

3.32 , is that a 50 ? Long way from home, we would have gone mad seeing one on Peterborough.

Another line that needs reinstating especially for freight traffic

THAT D.M.U WAS WOBBLING A BIT MIND THEY DID WHEN I WENT ON THEM GREAT VIDEO

Some great footage there

Great filming, so much variety, thank you

Great scenes, so much lost

An American steam fan or not, there’s nothing that can make me not love the Mallard

Think how many lorries you could get off the roads if fright was still used by rail.

Mallard may you be able to run again😔😔😔

Wonderful footage! I'm curious as to why they're all coming through Spalding. Next major junction is Sleaford where they can go onto Lincoln or head to Grantham.

Hiya how can I contact you ? Is there an email address I can have to contact you about usage of your material ?

The days when railways were the best

Enjoyed film ,so busy and so much of the past thanks.

Rot Diezel trein 🚆😠

It is surprising just how dead it is here now having remembered how busy it was at the time this video was made. The freight here has declined severely when comparing 2003 to today. There used to be an average of about 6 freights an hour, now that average is about 1 an hour!
