  • Filmed in January 1995 we see NSE Class 117 DMUs at work on the Willesden-Clapham Junction service and on the Barking-Gospel Oak line. At Barking the 302 EMUs are still at work on the LTS lines alongside 310s. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

    Cracking video Soi. Those 302's and 310's at Barking bring back such great memories. Thanks for posting 😀

    Great video Soi. The orbital routes are just slightly busier now... Just goes to show what a decent service frequency, shiny trains and good branding can do.

    It was the Clapham - Kensington Olympia - Willesden junction service that began to open up links that had been neglected for years and seemed a reasonable success that led to the joint overground/southern service today
    It's far easier to get to the Midlands/northern England these days with trains calling at Watford junction and Milton Keynes for frequent intercity connections to a wide choice of destinations than just the odd 1-2 intercity trains per day......

    Railways cleaner than roads? A good belch of smoke from those old DMUs.

    I wonder if anyone knows what that carriage was for that was parked for years in front of the signal cabin at Barking. It started off red (actually faded to a sort of pink on the south side where it got the sun), then painted grey IIRC, got covered in graffiti by the local thickos, and then disappeared.
    I also remember seeing Rolls Royce engines on some of the DMUs there.

    • @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus

      The carriage was a back up power supply for the signal box, i believe it would have powered both the LT & BR cabin's.......

      Do you know by any chance what sort of carriage it was before being put to use as a power supply?

      @@jerribee1 No idea, i only ever remember it being there! I imagine it was whatever coach was withdrawn around 1960ish time they used, a lot of coaching stock ended up in departmental use, that's how the LNER TPO set survived that's at the Great Central Railway.....

    Do you know when the Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction shuttle go electric one YOuTuber thought it was summer 1996 when the North London line was being wired but could anyone confirm?

    • @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus
      @SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus  6 лет назад +1

      I'm not sure. I should know as i was an Acton Driver at the time and worked in the area! I know i did this day out as the DMUs on the Claphams were on borrowed time so i think it was likely 313's replaced the DMUs in 95. Acton crews wired the North London for the North of London Eurostar service (which never happened) after we finished the Heathrow Express wiring from Padd to Airport Junction but that wasn't until about 1997 and the Clapham DMUs had finished by then.
