Cab Ride York to Edinburgh 1987

Great video - I cannot believe thirty plus years ago. Love the chat in the cab! Thanks for posting Alan👍🏻

The tunnel mentioned at Manors station Newcastle would be to the Quayside branch I would think. This branch was origionally electrified in the days of the Tyneside suburban electrics and worked by two NER crocodile locos wirh dual overhead and third rail pickups. One is preserved by the NRM. In their final days, the early 1960's they were painted in NER light green by BR and they looked magnificent.

So interesting to see the ECML before electrification

Nice to see the route pre-wires! I remember it well. Great video, though I found the constant questioning of the traincrew a bit distracting, if I'd been driving that I'd have put the person off at Darlington! Thanks for posting

Fortunately people weren't so obsessed with "health & safety" back then, so we actually learn something about the route.

I still have these videos. If only the VCR worked. 😅😊

Goodness, and we are disappoined when a modern video isn't HD...
Interesting few bygones and bygoings on the approach to Edinburgh. BTW I think the caption-writer meant Monktonhall, not Millerhill.

Looks very different before electrification.

Enjoyed that

At 2:34:18 the caption is for Leith Jct. Should that not be Abbeyhill Jct?

[@CFRTrainSpotter]

do you have London to Liverpool filmed in 1985?

[@alanspencer7668]

Afraid not . I'll post if I run across it

[@DavidChild-ty2od]

I have it.
