- It's early January 1988 and we are on the Western Region. I'm out chasing Network SouthEast slam-door DMU's and we see them at Ealing Broadway, Windsor & Eton Central, Slough and Maidenhead. Along the way we see Valenta powered Inter-City 125 HST's, a couple of Trainload Freight Coal Sector class 58s on trip workings and a class 50 hauled NSE Express.

hi there, great video, at last decent trains !used to live in Hayes and Southall so all very familiar, really miss them.we had a 121 on the Henley branch when i was at school in 1968,
My very first DMU was a Bubble car going up Camden Bank towards Tottenham and Stratford in 1989.
Great video as always 👌👏
My old patch.
And?????
Once again, another great video! Thanks for posting!
Was between 14 going on 15 in 1988 ,Great footage 💗💞❤️🩹
4 today (and not 4 years old)
That first HST was rapid!
Back in the days of bad old BR. At least they used what little money they had wisely. Great film again ❤
Better than today’s services
@@matthewdoyle3877so getting a rattling DMU twice a hour at best was better than an EMU every 10 minutes at worst all the way into central London.
@@matthewdoyle3877Indeed
Blimey, not 1 but 2 58's ?!!? I would have exploded!
Actually, it was 58 016 twice, on different occasions. That said, 58s at Maidenhead (or Slough) were as rare as rocking horse sh*t. I was well surprised to see that...
The "bubble cars" were hugely successful on the branch lines, and the class 117 still find work in preservation. I moved down from Maidenhead to Dorset five years ago, and there's a set (and a bubble car, too) on the Swanage Railway. I'm sure I must have ridden them in their BR days!
@@mikethecabbie8476 Look again and freeze the vid.... it's 58 006, not 016! The first 58 had gone Up Road at Slough, i caught the next DMU to Maidenhead and the next 58 was through within 10 mins, impossible for 016 to get back to Didcot and come back! I assume both trains were Speedlink trip workings, why there were 2 short coal trains going the same way is puzzling......
@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus OK, I was watching on my phone, so misread it. You certainly hit the jackpot, there. I lived 60yrs in Maidenhead, more than half that just 20yds from the main line, and never saw ONE 58; you saw two in under an hour!!
@@mikethecabbie8476 It was quite unusual i admit..... I 'm assuming they were working off Didcot, whos' drivers signed the class.... By 1995, when i was working at Acton Yard, we had them working there, originally on the Forders bin job but they spread their wings and worked all the binliner jobs and various engineers & stone trains.....
