Exeter St. David's Station in 1994

View of time spent in watching the trains go by in this famous and busy station, in Devon UK. Trains come here from the South and North and depart to the East or West. Two different routes to London, one going off in the totally opposite direction to the other. The 47707 climbing the bank to Exeter Queen St. is going to London (Waterloo) and the HST going off the other way is bound for London ( Paddington).

Thank you, Sir. I had forgotten that it had a real live Crompton till I saw it again. There's a part two to look out for . . . .

Love this, your tractor stuff is real good too!

[@balmesh]

I honestly can't say - except, well spotted!

[@formidable38]

I can remember this being mentioned somewhere else along time ago, you may well be right, I think it was the only one! Well spotted.

[@balmesh]

Thanks very much. Train stuff is spaced out a bit,but there's plenty waiting for upload.

[@balmesh]

Thank you Bob. It certainly brings back the memories of days with son and camera (and tripod) on the platform, just enjoying.
Did you get any material of those days?

[@rorymacve]

Yes very!! =-D

[@balmesh]

Thanks Rory. It was good, eh?

I know this is anarok-ey of me, but at 1:03, that's the first time I've ever seen a MkIId coach (i.e. air conditioned MkII) in Network SouthEast livery. I don't think there were many, maybe just this one?

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

@rorymacve For me, too! Went here every summer as a kid!

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

I live in Exeter do my filming at Exeter at David's looks completely different there now in 1994 to now

[@balmesh]

I'll bet!

[@MrGriser]

When did the last First Gen DMU run through here?

[@formidable38]

Looks like NSE were desperate for power by this time judging by the no-heat freight 47!

[@Isochest]

Were the foot crossings open to passenger use?

[@TrainJacker]

there was only one in network southeast

[@madpound]

What was the first train in this video and what have they replaced it with today?

[@balmesh]

+TINYC100/TSHR's1965 Fan Ned Cook/ Beefeater
First train was a 158 unit and they are still running, albeit in different colours.

[@madpound]

Aww ok. Would that be the C3? I haven't seen that train since Wednesday.

[@robmasterman]

@balmesh If you plough through my RUclips collection Alan you will see material from 1989 onwards...Bob

[@balmesh]

I don't remember, to be honest.
