Class 20's were a regular site during the summer months in BR days. Seen here the Derby - Skegness service passing Hubberts Bridge, Thorpe Culvert and at Skegness in 1992.
Love it. I filmed most of the trips to Skegvegas in the summer of 1992 as well. I used to go out in the morning before l started work, and afterwards to catch them on the way back too. 🙃 👍
Brings back memories when I was in my childhood in the 70's and 80's going to Skeggness with my Grandparents on the train being hauled by two class 20's Happy days
I grew up in the East Midlands and I only ever went Skeggeh once. It was a day trip with a friend and his friend's family when I was a kid. It was in a 1950s Ford Pop which has a top speed of about 40mph. With a following wind. In comparison the train of 1960s coaching stock hauled by a couple of goods engines looks fast, luxurious and comfortable. We didn't arrive until mid afternoon and I just cannot remember when we got back. I don't think it was even on the same day!
The funny thing is, the 20s still run on the Jolly Fisherman Tour which goes to Skegness from Tyseley. These tours happen once during the summer holidays so you best catch them on camera!
Hi Terina, Having only one cab, the visibility was restricted running nose first and being only 1000 hourse power engines they were under powered on some jobs, so it became common practice to run them in pairs.

Glad this has brought back memories for you Tony.
Superb, Roy. Brings back happy memories.
Love the shutdown sound at the end. Thanks for the upload Roy.
You're welcome
Brings back good memories from the eighties at skegg nice
Great video roy I wish I could of been there for that but I was sadly working my ass of down south but I'm glad you recorded it
Of all the places we got to in the 90s Skeg wasn't one of them alongside Crewe.
I imagine shutting gates before clearing signals and vice versa keeps you fit

Yes Chris, its always good to see Class 20's return to Skegness.
great sound!! do you by chance remember what video cam you were using to tape this video with?
I think it must have been the Sony V5000 - Hi8 at that time.
No jumping these gates !
Apart from the signalman not wearing a hi-viz jacket, nothing has changed to the infrastructure at Hubberts Bridge in 31 years

Skegness station still looks as depressing as it did in the 90's lol.
Wat a lovely video
Proper trains no voyagers
Why are 20s always in pairs? Is it a push pull thing??

Class 20's are English Electrics?
yes
