- CARLISLE CITADEL STATION in JUNE 1987
Upon my visit to Carlisle station I was fortunate enough to witness the last BR mainline passenger service over the S & C, diagrammed for a class 40 locomotive. This was the 12.37 Carlisle to Leeds service and was hauled by 40122. Main WCML services were in the hands of AC Electrics mainly and many of the long haul freight as well. A DMU arrived from Barrow in splendid Green livery which made the scene very nostalgic. Enjoy the smokey departures as the trains make their way to their destinations, apart from the "Electrics" of course.
Another great video from your archive, lovely to see all the action at Carlisle, brings back some memories. Many thanks and all the best.... Steve
You're most welcome Steve as always...Many thanks....Mark
Now THAT! Brings back memories! I cannot remember which side I was hanging out of. But I was DEFINITELY on that Leeds bound train pulled by D200. That was a regular run at that time. 8:42 from Leeds returned at 12:43 (cannot remember the exact time). D200 was but on the return trip! Then ran the 16:25 return from Leeds. But yeah I remember that shunt too. I believe it was a break problem. They were locking up on the way up and caused a lot of problems! Cased a panic for everyone because we were hanging around the wrong door for the front. I jumped first and got a prime seat nearest the engine! Also D200 was always made to turn the engine off at Leeds because it was too noisy. Great memories! Great posting!
Great comment David....and for your recollection of that exact journey.....glad you managed to secure a seat near this loco.....Many thanks and for watching...best wishes...Mark
I had 40 122 from Reading to Carlisle to St Albans ! 40 028 "Samaria" from Derby to Newcastle and from Carlisle to Derby. But best were 40 086 + 40 152 from Crewe to Polmadie to Crewe. 40 122 was a popular loco, other trips with her include Buxton and Kings Lynn !
What fantastic times they were Vic and best wishes to you....Mark
D200 used to pass Leyland after is was reinstated, probably my favourite loco at the time.
Great memories, thanks👍
I too fell in love with this loco....so much so I have bought an 0 gauge class 40 and am thinking of having Tower Models convert it into D200.....She will then go into my display cabinet.....Many thanks and best wishes....Mark
The only time I can remember ever seeing class 40's was in 1982. They were all lined up on the scrap heap at the country end of Swindon works. I used to go from Devon to Surrey a lot and still to this day I remember the works being a beautiful place to see. I still remember seeing a western and a warship. I'm sure the warship was D818 Glory. The railways back then were such a joy to see. Nowadays it's a different story (for me anyway!).
I do not think you are alone on that.....I too believe the Warship was 818....saw her myself many times...many thanks and best wishes...Mark
19.03 that poor cab door lol. Some pretty nifty Shunting from D200s driver, dont think he was very happy. But what a sound, all four exhaust belching black clagg ,,, bloody wicked . 👍👍😁😁
Many thanks for watching and your comment, sorry for the late response was away for 2 weeks...best wishes...Mark
Great to see this old video footage from Carlisle. Super memories of how it use to be. Excellent video!
You are most welcome....Mark
Brilliant video of D200 That's how shunting stock was done no hanging about lots of power on The 08 was shifting a bit as well 15mph looked more like 20.
Many thanks for watching and your comment, sorry for the late response was away for 2 weeks...best wishes...Mark
I heard a younger mate telling me he'd had D200 on the Leeds Carlisle and I was really jealous - until I remembered I came from a time when class 40 haulage was by no means rare and I'd had lots of them on the Carlisle and lots of other places. I love how you can hear the 40 singing merrily to itself for over half the video!
Fond memories......You are most welcome and many thanks for watching and for commenting....best regards...MARK
Life before digital cameras and telephones! We didn't know we were born!
You are most welcome.... and best wishes ....Mark
Beautiful sound Coming from Whistler D200 , Lovely rare footage from the late 1980s at Carlisle ,Lovely Diesel Locomotion to Class 86 and 87 Electric Locomotion,long before digitalism and When camcorders where these big chunky things,But wow they did the job recording footage like this ❤Proper trains back then would have just been aged 13 when this was filmed in late June of 1987 born in July 1973 ,This was a time before Smartphones and Pocket size Digital video cameras ,Long live the 1980s ,Sadly not the case in todays world with plastic things operating nowadays .Give me a time machine ❤
You're very welcome and many thanks for watching and best regards....Mark
another fantastic video! it has made me want to go out and buy a model of 40122 in green now.
Many thanks for watching and your comment, sorry for the late response was away for 2 weeks...best wishes...Mark
Amazing video footage of D200/40122 my thoughts are she should be considered for reinstatement for main line use again like other class 40s instead of sitting silent in the nrm york unless she is technically non serviceable
I am not sure on her condition....but agree should be on the ML....many thanks....Mark
@@spompey most welcome Mark one locomotive I vaguely remember only in photos in magazines was DP2 the deltic locomotive body shell with a class 50 power unit as it was written off in a bad crash in Thirsk north Yorkshire in 1967 if it had survived I'm sure it would have been a preservation candidate for survival but as I was born in 1971 I think it would have been a amazing sight and machine 👍😁
@@stephenchecksfield632 You would like to think so, but many class of locos escaped preservation as like "Kestrel" and early type 2s....Big shame and opportunity missed....many thanks Stephen and best wishes...Mark
i saw d200 in cardiff... awsome ... and loads of railshows ... sexy sound
Not sure I would say sexy, but certainly attractive....best wishes....Mark
Amazing footage...p.s what camera and tripod did you use ? As at the time the hardware was very expensive.
Many thanks for watching and your comment, sorry for the late response was away for 2 weeks...best wishes...Mark
5:48 How many people can you fit in the cab of an 86?
Ah yes been looking for footage of a Ravenscraig steel coil train, 87020 looks ex works
I most likely have more of the steel coming later in my uploads....Best regards and many thanks....Mark
08:52 - is that a paint splat or a dead seagull?!
Maybe both.....Many thanks for watching and your comment, sorry for the late response was away for 2 weeks...best wishes...Mark
