Wow!! What a truly amazing video, showing just what BR was like in the early 90s... slightly unkempt but full of character and interest and just getting on with the job. I was never massively into 50s (awaits lightning bolt!!) because I'm a northerner and never really saw them, but videos like this show me what I missed. Great work 👍
Great video I remember the class 50s use to travel on them every day back in 88,89. From Banbury to Oxford . I worked on the Pway then. Use to go down to Reading and London Paddington on my days off. Did venture down to Exeter but that was on a HST. Still on the Railway now but rarely travel on trains. All these multiple units they are just plan old boring. Bring back the Loco hauled trains 👍👍👍👍
I remember as a kid traveling on the class 50 hauled Cornish Riviera express non stop from Exeter to Paddington - loved that final 100mph section from Reading into London- great days, modern trains are all a bit boring - underfloor engined multiple units, no more big diesels 😥
Loved the incline behind a Class 50. Full power over the brow thinking you wasn't gonna stop at Central, did it many a time without a ticket. An amazing video, thanks for sharing. Only Exeter West & semaphores missing
Brilliant filming, going into tunnel must have been like steam days! You’re captured pics and movements form a different angle from that day. Gone for ever.🙁
What a great video. Glad I was pointed in the direction of this video.. Some very useful shots to help me re-create a well detailed model railway that'll be based around this time period.

That really is a huge incline. Even more apparent when you stand on the platform at Central and see the line fall away.

Not a successful exchange of the newspapers, having at least two copies run over by the train!!😅
I like the DMU footage. Full blast in second gear all the way up.

Loved the Paxman passing the 16CSVT? British quality at work.

Great video, love the shots from Exeter, first time of doing up the bank from the cab, Sounds are great 👍

What a great video...last days of the 50's perfectly captured 😊

The wonderful PURRRR of a Hoover! How i miss the big diesel hauled era 😢😢
Nice video. Lots of clag like I remember, especially from what looks like the Class 37 at
You did well to record the daily life of the class 50 at Exeter.
Nice bit if track at
Great footage, I wonder if the centre roads will ever get put back in at Exe central?
Just before dmu enters Central there's a line enters from left. Is that just a runaway into sand trap?
That bit of track off at 13.46. Anyone know what that’s for?
