That was the day when St Phillips Marsh and Bath Rd had their open days remember it well. I went to Cardiff to do a bit of spotting and maybe arrived back in Bristol on that 158 near the end of your video. Remember seeing 47363 on a north bound cross country, must have been just after you finished recording, oh happy days. Many thanks for posting great video.
I was a 11 year old boy and god i can still see it now. The old badgerline X39 from Bath and cityline buses with that 47 going out and Bath Road busy how Bristol Has changed. Nice video thank you
nice video mate. brings back good memories from back in the day. gotta love the enormous video cameras and the absolutely terrible clothing that everybody was sporting!!!! haha
+orangepatriot85 Thanks for taking the time to view and comment, nice to know this bought back some fond memories for you. I must admit my old M7 took some carrying about, it was like carrying a suitcase everywhere I went to film at various locations, and yes how dresswear has changed over the last 24 years, who knows what people will be wearing in the next 20 odd years or so ??, cheers...Bill
Ernest Johnson Cheers Ernie, on the day itself it was a great day out at both depot open days, this bit was just a filler to end the day, thanks for looking/commenting, much appreciated, take care...Bill
Cheers Mike, as you will remember the open days at Bath Rd and St Philips Marsh were a great success, did you film the events, if so I bet they would really be worth looking at, thanks for looking/commenting, much appreciated...Bill
pjt1974 Thanks for looking, and your kind comment, there was in fact a steam loco on Bath Road Depot, it was 3440 City Of Truro which was taking part in the open day being held there, cheers...Bill
Cheers Daniel, It certainly was nice to see the Inter City livery applied to the GWR HST sets. Thanks for looking/commenting, much appreciated. Regards...Bill
Cheers Owen, thanks for taking the time to view and comment. Some of the liveries carried by loco's today are mind boggling they look like travelling advertisement boards. Regards Bill
Those Valenta engines were extremely loud compared to the MTU's that are used these days. Won't be long before the HST's are replaced by the Class 800's. Going to miss the HST.
Cheers Daniel, the Hsts have given sterling service since their introduction over 40 years ago. I believe that the GWR sets maybe moved to Scotland but cannot be sure. Many thanks for taking the time to view and comment. Regards...Bill
Cheers Jordan, thanks for looking/commenting much appreciated, and yes Bristol has changed a lot in the last 25 years since I filmed this, very few loco hauled services nowadays. Regards...Bill
Unfortunately I have no idea when the 150s and 158s began working the Cardiff - Portsmouth services. In another video I filmed a 158 at Cardiff on the 3rd of April 1991 at Cardiff. Regards...Bill
They certainly were Michael, pity we don't have the variety of loco's today as we did all those years ago. Thanks for looking/commenting. Regards...Bill
+84asrd84boxy thanks for the comment, I did some filming myself at Bristol Temple meads last Saturday and it was uploaded on Tuesday, care to have a look.
Gosh - HSTs as they were originally built - and as I remember them! Would you have any objection if I were to use fragments of the audio from this and other of your videos as sound effects in a free, open-source non-commercial computer game called Simutrans under the Artistic Licence 1.0? I should happily credit you, of course.

Class 150s BR sprinters with the running man logo, to day the 150 is still in service in Arriva wales livery.
Cheers William, It just goes to show how long the Classs 150 DMU has been around. Thanks for looking/commenting much appreciated. Regards...Bill
Excellent video yet again. You could swear a steam engine had just left with some of the HST's!!!!

it was nice for GWR to bring back the original and Swallow Liverys on Class 43002 and 43185
Cheers Daniel, It certainly was nice to see the Inter City livery applied to the GWR HST sets. Thanks for looking/commenting, much appreciated. Regards...Bill
Good footage, fair play to GWR for putting a class 43 back in IC Swallow livery, but it's a shame that the livery has pretty much disappeared.
Cheers Owen, thanks for taking the time to view and comment. Some of the liveries carried by loco's today are mind boggling they look like travelling advertisement boards. Regards Bill
Bristol Temple Meads 1991. classic INTERCITY days, good old black and white with red stripe livery. Class 47 diesels and 125/class 43s
Cheers William, how things have changed over the years regarding liveries etc. Thanks for looking/commenting much appreciated. Regards...Bill

Are you sure it's 1991 I thought 150's and 158's didn't start running in that area until 1992.
Yes definitely 1991. The time and date are clearly shown in the bottom left hand corner of the video. Thanks for looking/commenting. Regards...Bill
I thought that 158's didn't start running on Cardiff-Portsmouth runs until 13th May 1992.
Unfortunately I have no idea when the 150s and 158s began working the Cardiff - Portsmouth services. In another video I filmed a 158 at Cardiff on the 3rd of April 1991 at Cardiff. Regards...Bill
Bath Road Driver Stewart Cottrell in orange vest.

James, I have no objection whatsoever regarding your wish to use any audio from this video regarding your project. Best of luck. Regards...Bill
Splendid, that is very kind, thank you.
