BR in the 1980s Llandudno Junction Station on 19th September 1989

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1980's
Llandudno Junction Station on 19th September 1989
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Llandudno Junction Station taken on 19/09/1989. This quite busy North Wales Location set near to Conwy Castle is an ideallic place to relax and watch the trains amble through. A mixture of types of traction was still to be seen back then and freight services. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.

I came to know this station and route very well a few years later from 1993 when 37s were diagrammed for seven glorious years. First did the line in August 1985 on a lovely day trip to Bangor!

The Class 47 Archive show's 47323 as rescuing 47457 at Colwyn Bay on 20/09/89, is it possible you could confirm the date so any amendments or notes can be made please.

I was Signaller at Colwyn Bay 1987 till it closed in October 1991 & we had many a 47 fail at the Bay due to low sump oil as the cant on the down platform is quite high.
When I was bashing 40s in the early 80s the afternoon Londons failed at the Bay and we had the Amlwch Tanks loco to rescue the failed Duff, thankfully it was a 40 (& on coffins) only as far as the Junction as the sump level was back to ‘normal’….
