- The declining years of steam at Waterloo Station, including scenes of the last summer. From Video 125 - well worth purchasing the DVDs which contain uselful scenes of rolling stock and stations for historical or modelling purposes.
The first time that I have seen any high quality film of the No. 1 and No. 2 specials leaving Waterloo on 2nd July 1967. I was somewhere on the platform at the time! Excellent!
I have vivid recollections of Southern Pacific’s hammering through Winchester, particularly in the Up direction, with crew looking relaxed among the deafening roar.
TY for the date, Wish I had know at the time as my father worked fairly nearby, I am sure my Mum would have taken me. The last Steam engine I remember seeing was in 1965 at Finsbury Park.
Holy smoke. I was four months old at that time.
I used to take monochrome pictures at Vauxhall but I do have some slides of Sir Nigel with an assortment of ancient chimney pots as an interesting backdrop.
It was always a thrill to see them running through Wimbledon. In the days when the stuffed Airedale Laddie was on platform 8 collecting for the L&SWR orphanage.
Wonderful, brings everything back from my childhood when taken to watch mainline trains by my grandad, a retired railwayman. (In late 50's).
Fantastic memories of days bunked off school to go train spotting at Waterloo
What a great quality film. You can almost believe that you are there.
What high quality never before seen footage!
Thanks for publishing!
And not a buddleia bush in sight, the Pway men of yesterday must be rolling in their graves. Great film.
Ah, the wonderful days of steam. The sight, sound and above all the smell. Thanks for this, great memories of my childhood.
The clip showing 34087 departing is the best I have ever seen.
Excellent quality footage, thanks for sharing.
The foresight to record this in such detail and clarity :)
Absolutely fantastic footage - thanks for sharing
Marvellous, superb quality, including the editing and clearly favoured in terms of being able to get the best shots. Great to see thanks for sharing
I worked for 2 years at Waterloo station, and sadly missed the steam age. But watching this fantastic piece of film, I can now imagine what it must have felt like, standing on the various platforms. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful images. Derek.
Wonderful footage, thanks for posting this.
Superb quality film must be 16mm. To see Clan Line pulling a 400 ton plus train out of Waterloo in 1967 and its still performing the same today 50 plus years later, amazing.
Yes. Was it classed 7P?
These days though, it does it a lot less slipperily than it did there
@@donotwantahandle1111 Merchant Navy class locos were 8P. The West Country/Battle of Britain class were 7P5FA
If the original reels were scanned today 16mm would be HD quality.
Excellent, thanks for sharing this film its a gem.
fasinating to see a wide variety of steam at Waterloo station.... thanks for sharing this brilliant footage....Tony
Wow. This is such good quality footage. Very rare find!
Beautiful archive film, thank you... all in colour too! 👌
I was a Nine Elms fireman in the early 1960s before transferring to Basingstoke Shed. Some very nice footage here bringing back memories of my regular days (and nights) at the 'office'. Many thanks.
In India we had them till 1995. The most amazing part was changeover from a modern electric loco to a steam loco when the train entered the branch line. You could feel the thud of the steam loco connecting if you were on the 1st or the 2nd coach from the engine. When the diesels took over there was no changeover and now it is all electric. We have to import oil and I guess it is cheaper and cleaner to burn coal in a power plant than a steam engine.
Immensely sad to see the demise of these Bulleid pacifics. With their nameplates removed, we knew the end was coming.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this fab footage. Young mum with her kids at 4:34... the kids are probably pushing 60 now. Tempus fugit...
Whow! Best quality filming I’ve ever seen, very evocative and just remember that time, visiting Nine Elms depot, didn’t
Know that Nigel Gresley visited the Souther, love the Bobby on track duty’s LOL. Thanks for uploading maid my day🤓👍
Stunning!
Fabulous filming in the day, thank you!
Awesome material
Those trains went passed my house, Saturday 9th July 1967, just after my twelth birthday used, I had used to love standing on a footbridge with eyes tight shut when a steamer went under, nothing like it!
Phenomenal quality footage!
Brilliant footage
Fabulous. You can almost smell the smoke and oily machinery
God this is amazing. 0:32 the familiar (to me) green 4SUBs mixed with steam in such good quality film. Fascinating to see steam as a ‘current’ technology (despite it being in decline) as opposed to as a heritage thing. I think it’s the quality of the film that’s so remarkable for me. 4:27 Sir Nigel Gresley leaving Waterloo!!! The wonder on the faces of all the spotters.
Nothing more soothing than the sound of an old 4-6-0's whistle, although I didn't see any 4-6-0's in this vid. Love the chugging and the puffing and the phhhhhshshshshshshsshshing of the streamliners!
Interesting glimpses of other motive power of the period like 4 CORs (nearing the end as well), and a maroon Warship at4:50
Marvellous, what a fun day that was!
Ding ding! I'm a tram 🚋 and I approve this video! Great footage!
Wow! Amazing!
Superb quality !!!
Time somehow redeemed,thank you, exceptional 👍
Great to see, although I never spotted a steam engine in BR service, I did see the Maunsell and Bullied electric units on several occasions.
Nice
Nice footage. First part must be 1962 or 1963 I would guess, due to yellow warning panels on some EMUs and GWR pannier tanks. The former introduced in 1962, the latter reallocated away in late 1963.
Aah, steam engines! They're smelly, dirty, labour intensive and polluting. Doncha just love 'em!
Brilliant video. Thanks Jaspercat3
I’m impressed 🤩👌👍
Thanks for sharing these. Some of the shots are quite a bit earlier I think - for example at 1:57 in the train has a Maunsell TK on the front of the train and either a BTK or a BCK at the back when the shot is cut off - these would have been long gone by ‘66/67, and in the shot immediately after that multiple Bullied Pacifics are still carrying their nameplates, which likewise went some time before the end. But some great footage thanks.
Excellent film of when the BR Southern Region was truly British railways yet so much destroyed by the Tories and Beeching!
Partly true - Marples construction etc. but more stations were closed under Labour than the Tories - Remember Wilson and Castle 1966 to 70 They could have stopped GCR closing but didn't.
@@tre243t Indeed
Let me know how many were reversed by Labour. Just like Labour could have reversed the franchises and renationalise in the late 1990’s but didn’t lift a finger.
@@andyrob3259 True. I think Blair was afraid of being accused of being ‘socialist’
@@stephensmith799 Prescott as Transport Sec wanted to get more people using trains, and a limited amount of extra services did do this, but the procurement for new stock went very wrong, particulary for cascading to the lines in the north of england leaving them with too small pacers for the weekend demand.
@ 5:40. Couple of gunzels up the signal platform no doubt taking video/photos of the day. Easy to miss as they blend in somewhat.
i just love trins
I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground stations.
Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers.
A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train?
The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden.
oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily.
Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford could they extend the DLR?
All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.
Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique minor no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Sweden, the Prime Minister of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Chatgpt?
34087 is getting away almost in mid-gear
Wow
Nice Camera Operating.
quality film mmmmmmmmmmm
What was the WR pannier tank [1.48] doing at Waterloo?
And at 5:44, two blokes on the signal gantry filming! You just wouldn't see that nowadays. And if you did, you'd have to stop all traffic movements in case the silly buggers fell off and got hurt.
Copper striding along the track keeping order4:45. I wonder if he was authorised to do that
steamy
That last one grandad needs a push
Not one clip showing passenger rolling stock of the same period as the engineers. 1960s passenger carriages - shocking.
Gosh 1967
Merry Old Steamengland 😂
Sigh...!
The dubbing is awful. Sorry! I was there, and have an excellent memory. I also rode behind 4498, that day….
