Great bit of filming - great memories for me. I live in Derbyshire but my aunt lived at Parkstone. The times I've spent on Parkstone Station , at Poole Park, Poole Station and LCs in the 70s and 80s . Many happy family holidays which were spent between 'holiday' things and watching the 33's, 73's and 47's and the Channel Islands Boat Train going up the bank at 07.50 every morning! Wish I could bring it all back, mum, dad, aunts and uncles all now gone as well.....Thanks for memories of happy times!
all my memories in that film didnt want it to end thanks for sharing.
Oh wow. Brought back some fond memories. Everything I know and love. Used to sit in my aunties back garden on Stert road and watch them shunt the yard. Thank you Colin. From Colin of Parkstone Goods fame.
Great video. Used to work for Brittany Ferries. Great to see the old Truckline Coutances ferry at the beginning. Remember the freight trains coming in. Good old days.
Poole power stations chimneys dominating the skyline
Lovely bit of film thanks for the memories
Great video, many thanks!
Blimey that brings back memories, thanks Colin
Excellent!!!!
Great video.
OMG preslows ,thanks for posting
Fantastic. To think also, just 20 years previous the S&D trains used to pound along here. The sight & sound of a 7f 280 with 10mk1s was incredible. As is every shot on this video. 👌🏼
If only I had a time machine to go back to these glorious times with all the Freight trains and slam door REPS and 4TCs and no Cross Country Voyagers.
Brilliant footage crompton heaven 👍👍
Fantastic memories 😀 Did plenty of Man Picc/Poole cross country back in the 80s 😂 Push pull 33s heaven 👍🏻
To think I could have been down the road from Hamworthy in the base there around this time, its weird as a few short years earlier I used to talk with the Bournemouth train crews when I was lampsman up at Waterloo and now I live in Gillingham which back then the ESD trains were my duty to maintain and replenish lamps and stores and the 4SUB's still running in off the suburban lines had to have lamps as well. I thought I would live and die in my native south London and then I went to Hamworthy, then back to London and then in 92 moved back down to Bournemouth and pretty much been a Dorset chap ever since. My dad retired from BR and spent his last years as a signaller for Swanage Rly.
Colin you might like to know the branch has been tidied up, and although the port end is still cut off from the far end, theres been a Westbury Tarmac train in Realtime trains for 4montha now-many of us waiting to see when they start back down here
Hampton Court MRS are building a model of Hamworthy (Jct) - albeit a little bit later than this film, if anyone has any photos that show the area around the station, particularly the cement terminal just around the corner down the branch, I'd love to see them. The location may be familiar to preservationists as there was a re-repatriated WD 8F (ex Turkish railways IIRC) briefly stored at the cement terminal for stripping and shot blasting.
Great memories Colin- it was always exciting to see a named 47 on the inter- regional- do you remember which one is seen departing Poole over the level crossing?
Great video, Colin. Have you got any more footage?
