Oh, yes, I wouldn’t normally bother with DMUs, sticking to loco hauled, but that was one of my first filming expeditions, and so I think I videoed everything that day - luckily 😊👍.

Happy days indeed.
Long before the overhead wires arrived!
Great footage! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks, you’re welcome. I haven’t actually been back to Twyford since the 1980s, so haven’t seen ‘the wires’ in situ. I guess I’m not missing much 😆😆
Lovely stuff! You were lucky to capture several freights running on the main lines. That was pretty rare east of Twyford.
Thanks for watching. Strange how the passage of time puts things in perspective, isn’t it. 👍😊
Fantastic! A regular haunt for me as a kid in the 80s!
Great location wasn't it. 👍 Thanks for commenting and watching.🙂

I take it you won’t be watching my 2+ hour EWS Class 66 video then ?! 🤷🏻♂️😱. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊😊😊😊
Parcels DMU was a blast from the past!.
