Sad to see that they have been scrapped. By far the better of the second generation of EMU to operate over the Great Northern route.

Classic Footage before Network rail messed it up in the Noughties ,Love the way it was in the 1990s when big trains were the Norm 💞💗

Regularly drove 287.

So sad seeing these great work horses meeting their end 😢 A bit like Barry island in the 70s 🙁

2002, one of the worst years ever.

Nice too see my local scrap merchants in its younger years when it didnt just scrap mk3s, and tube stock =/

Sad end to great BR machines 😢

I used to be a freight guard at hither Green and shunter new Cross gate .seeing these videos on utube reminds me of a great time

I was there

Old Oak Common always put on a good open day , always plenty of locos on shed and always different classes too. It was always a great shed to "bunk"for me, I was never challenged or gobbed off by the shed staff, in fact I remember them being quite the opposite to me personally, I often spoke to the fitters and they were always very knowledgeable and answered my teenage enquiries about the maintenance of the locos etc friendly like . Old oak, now all but a memory, a shadow of its former self. I used to sit on the bank next to the turntable and watch the goings on . I miss those days 😢.

I bet the rest of the trains there are still in service today in 2023

Long live Marcus

Wonderful video for this old video

oo la...I have no recollection of the chord off the Wimbledon main into the adjacent coach yard there

Used to see this on the Weedkiller train, might nineties. 👍

Great footage . Loved the shots of the old emu slam door stock next to a 442. Overall , this I like with plenty of old school shots. Brilliant stuff

47403 met its end at Basford Yard within the month.

Priceless bit of video 👍

Bet it was warm though. Usually it was the bloody stove rattling all the time 😂

Damn I do miss those good old days. Cracking vid. I want lots more,,, or a Time Machine. 😂👍😎😎

Crazy how that view up to London at 9:00 has changed so much since (and continues to change). Now there are glass skyscrapers everywhere

Great vid. Loved the mass start up and tones. We wont see the likes of these open days again. Sadly. Thanks for sharing. 👍😎

Excellent short video 👍👍

Is this in mono?

I started travelling through there just over a year later from Huddersfield, there was nothing like that quantity of stuff there, even in mid 95.

Try have an open day this side of millennium hse would be lived

Door on the catch at 8:46 guard must have been in a hurry

10:26

Sad to think how soon it was closed after the 365s.

The RA being given with an open door at 8:40 - blush - it was a different world.

This was a Preston to Edinburgh tour. On it as they say!

4:28 why did the 442s used to make that sound whilst idling at the station?

Great tunes at 8.33

Very sad, the 47 is my favourite diesel 😢

Another depot you can no longer just walk into unchallenged 😓

By 2040 the DFT wants most of the diesels gone and replaced by electric. So await for the first class 66 to make this trip.

Good selection of 47's.

I find it unbelievable that it has now all gone ! Can you imagine I was there during 1965/66 trainspotting aged 13/14 and it was a hive of activity, my uncle Jack was a platelayer in the yard and lived in Ossett. A one evening I was allowed in the control box to operate the 'retarders' to slow down the wagons making up the freight trains. There was still quite a lot of steam locomotives around in those days, and a lot of the ex-WD 2.8.0 locomotives in the area. I use to sit on Horbury Station for hours. Happy Days !

British engineering at its finest

Was there on the "Traction Magazine" stall.

"Each a glimpse" "And gone forever".

9 years later and still they sit there...
