Great video,brings back memories i arrived on the"Coalville Cobbler" railtour from St pancras if i remember rightly i was 17 yrs old ,my god 20 yrs ago lol!i was with my younger friend Mark ,i tried to look for us in your video but i think most of your footage was shot earlier in the day. i miss the late 80s and early90s they were the best time for 37s and 47s etc sadly now just handful of each survive on the mainline. cheers
my god glad i found this i was there allso used to love waiting at nuneaton my home town for the class 33 railtour take the fly over past the station then race to the open day god i miss the 80's:(
I was there too. I would have been 5 aswell. I remember it quite well considering. Also if you watch closely you can see the my old workplace which is now the springboard centre. Cool. A few old memories re-visited.
