I remember travelling north from Firsby as a child to Mablethorpe, they destroyed the heart of the county when they closed the ELR from Grimsby through Louth and Alford, though most of the trackbed remains from Firsby to Louth and almost to Mablethorpe
Great stuff. Fantastically filmed with an amazing atmosphere and attention to details. Probably the best British Rail video I have seen yet. Thanks so much for making it available.
These old trains were nice things to look at like the steam trains before them, before my time. They were to ride on as well. As a kid, I would sit at the station with my friends at times and watch them go by.
Very enjoyable Roy, thanks for posting this up. I explored this line myself around the same time photographing the signalling and this brought back happy memories. Good that someone was far-sighted enough to take good quality video.
Brilliant, especially the view inside Wainfleet box, I was invited in one afternoon, I have wound the gates and pulled the signals, I was gutted the next summer when the barriers appeared, no more lever 23,24 and 25, the unit T308 was the unit I first travelled to Skeggy in as well, summer 1992, as 117308 on the 0957 through from Sheffield
Very nicely filmed Roy with a lot of patience and careful planning plus good use of a tripod to keep the camera steady in those windy exposed areas of Lincolnshire.
Anyone spot the Ford Capri in the scrapyard? :) Great video, thankyou so much Roy for sharing. Crazy to think it all died with the Deltics when all this heritage stuff was still happening. Reminds me too of my range rover days heading out from Leicester on the choppers to Skeggy as far as Derby :))
Great ti see Mr Harrisons vids again. Hi Roy hope you and the family are all well . Still not much rail action in the land of smiles . Thanks again Bob
7:46 Hardly worth jumping up on to the step, he could have just walked down to the wagons. 10:40 The driver is giving you the evil-eye there... Great film, though. Thanks for compiling it and posting.
Thanks Roy, tremendous memories for myself being a ‘youth’ 🙂 When a train journey was part of the day trip to Skegness & not a chore that it is now
Good morning. Fantastic video 👍🏻 Got this on full chat on my lorry stereo lol 😆 That driver looked very smart in the class 20 lol 😆

It’s nice to be reminded of earlier days where level crossings were common on country routes . Great video .

Thank you very much!
I'm lying in bed, here in Cape Town, South Africa, just enjoying your train trips. Thanks, SO much! ❤✔
Glad you are enjoying the Videos Brian.
1991, a happy part of my life.
Lovely views of Skegness, especially the old box, was lucky enough to be invited in during summer holidays, drinking tea with the "Bobby".

Nice and clear. Relaxing too.

Class 20s did the Jolly Fisherman from Derby to Skegness. Good times :)
Absolutely brilliant Roy. Loved the BR days so much. Thanks very much for posting your excellent work. Very much appreciated.

Another great video from happier times on the railway. Thanks for uploading Roy.

Got to love British rail. They would put anything into service. Notice the 101/117 hybrid unit?
Wow, I love your videos.
I miss these loco hauled passenger trains!
another excellent video!
Thank you! Cheers!
How do you export this video to youtube
After Brexit I hope Boston can export steel again!
Unlikely since British Steel has died for want of 30 million quid.
They do still export steel

Great film, though. Thanks for compiling it and posting.
