- Watching trains on the ECML now days can be a little boring. This Video should bring back memories of how it was in the 1990's. I do hope you enjoy watching. Thank you for your comments, I read them all.

Part of my childhood of the 90s were those machines called class 373 (GNER White Rose) - thank you for the throwback
1991 was only a few years ago .... then you remember, actually 30 yrs ago!
North-of-London Eurostars. I had forgotten all about that. Wow.
I am not sure why but older footage is often shaky but this is so smooth it could have been filmed yesterday! Wonderful stuff
Thank you so much.
absolutely incredible footage their loved the 60 dragging the dead 37s also the deltic powering after the signal check thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant collection Nothing boring in those days almost every freight had different types of wagons in Great to see the Eurostar I have not seen many videos of those on ECML
Lovely seeing parcels and mixed goods trains cargowaggons etc.
Glad you enjoyed it
On a Saturday We used to take the 47 Parcels trains from Edinburgh to Aberdeen&back.
I think the Railways could run Parcel Trains again, get the white van man off the road!
Another classic, Roy. Am I the only person who hopes the Azumas will have to be scrapped 🙂. How many Deltics are still in running order? Nice to see the 140mph run. A shame it was never adopted.
No Andrew, you are not the only one who feels like that.
Lovely ,great mix ,freight,parcels ,oil,mixed locos ,sat north of York the other week just south of Thirsk ,highlight 125set on cross country working ,nothing else to add variety ,started train spotting late 50,s now they were the days ,passenger ,freight, parcels newspapers ,cattle ,mixed goods ,on and on ,i probably that’s why you see people running down platforms noting carriage no,s ps highlight Cliffe to Uddingston cement,!
Nice one
Great Video! Thumbs Up and Like 115
Thank you! Cheers!
Another one of your absolute classics, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for Watching & listening
Excellent video Roy happy days ... if only it was yesteryear.
Remember the GNER Eurostar well, used to leave 3 coaches over the edge at Retford Ststion...
The only thing I would want, apart from more of your wonderful footage, is a few date stamps.
For those who don't know Tallington, the cast concrete works are still served by rail and a couple of years ago (BC - Before Covid) they laid a new link into the factory area.
Some of my footage has dates Neil but most of it has not, I do try but its not easy to get the exact dates.
@@royharrison4122 thanks for the response. I have the same problem with my photos from the per-digital era.
Great footage and memories, thanks Roy
Glad you enjoyed it Greig
Much enjoyed, thank you for sharing Roy. Some interesting workings captured.
Many thanks!
That really brough back memories. Pickworth Road, Essendine, where my interest in railways began in the late fifthties, watching virtually all steam in those days with just an ABC and none of the modern day luxuries of a camera or phone. Every hour spent there was magical, not knowing what would turn up next. Many thanks Roy for another great video.
Yes, Not knowing what you would see was the main attraction in those days.
Great stuff. Happy memories Roy, superb shots.
Many thanks Bryan
Very good video and a delight to see a Deltic and a long rake of coaches! The other thing was 91 hauling a broken-down set. I also like the camera work, nice and steady. Cheers Ian
Cool, thanks!
Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed watching from start to finish 👍
Awesome, thank you!
What an absolute classic. Golden footage. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
Like I said to you at Hawthorn Bank crossing the other Saturday, Roy. The only good thing to have come out of lockdown is you having the time to upload these videos. Brilliant and unique, especially the early Spalding ones. Will save this one for my once a fortnight Friday bath night fix!
Thanks Matthew, Hope see you again soon.
Fantastic footage! Thanks for sharing it with us Roy.
My pleasure!
Wonderful video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always great to watch your videos Roy but this one is special, thanks a bunch for uploading again! Great to see the suspension on the class 47s over the uneven track. So well filmed 😀😀
Glad you enjoyed it
You don't see these formations anymore, like the 2 hst engines without the cars or the freight only carrying 4 or 5 wagons
Dawlish mid 80,s summer saturdays 47/50/45/46//31/hst ect👍
Fantastic video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
But this is a master piece
Roy many thanks for the wonderful memories of the good old days fantastic collection of the different types of locos that ran at that time, along with wagons loads of different wagons . PS have you stopped doing the monthly videos of Spalding
Glad you enjoyed it John, The Spalding monthly Video will be Two Months this time, April & May together.
@@royharrison4122 thanks for that as i do like your monthly films
Very good picture quality, I particularly appreciate being able to read the loco numbers
Glad to hear that!
Great footage and some interesting formations caught on film. The 2 HST power cars running together back to back and was that a Strathclyde (orange) 321 ?
That was a lucky shot Shane.
7:51, that's the same date of my birthday (except the year)
Interesting shot 10:20: class 60 dragging two Class 37s passing back to back HST power cars
And that was a Strathclyde Class 320 before that wasn't it?
2 37s pushing a class 60 more like.
Yes that was a lucky shot Andrei.
12:16 that must be the least aerodynamic consist of all time
The railway was doomed as soon as BR signed up to the pet food contrat at Melton Mowbray..a bit like BL and the Mini .. they were selling below cost
Im late
You should be very proud
Many Thanks.
