This series of programmes will take us to classic
stations, depots and other railway locations around
Britain, where the locomotives, liveries and rolling
stock are from an era that is now long gone.
Loco-hauled passenger and freight trains are in
abundance, but we will see shunters and multiple units as
well.
Volume 1 in the series of programmes
looks at three locations.
Chapter 1:
Sheffield Midland station in the three years 1986, 1987
& 1988.
Passenger trains are in the hands of
Peaks, 47s and 31s but 20s and even a 25 are seen on
class 1 passenger duties.
Freights and parcels
traffic are also seen, with classes 45/0 & 47 in
evidence.
Also seen is the 'Hills & Cities No
2' railtour of 6 June 1987 where 45029 hands over to
45062 for the run back to Euston.
Chapter 2: We drop a few hundred miles South now to
Basingstoke in 1986 - Wednesday 20th August 1986 to be
precise.
Here we see 50s on the Exeter trains and
33s on the Salisbury's, but freights also abound with 33s
& 47s and there is even a 33+73+33 triple header on a
TC set!
Chapter 3: North of the
border now to Perth to see 20s, 26s, 27s, 37s & 47s
in action on passenger & freight.
Ex-works
26025 is seen illustrating the new railfreight grey
livery.
As a bonus we drop down to Dunblane,
Stirling & Larbert to view proceedings which include
a 37 substituting for a class 27 failure.
