LONDON WATERLOO STATION on 31st August 1987
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of London Waterloo taken on 31/08/1987. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material. Special guest appearance during video? She was on her tour of the south and west....the cover shot sort of gives it away really...

Thanks for sharing these brilliant time capsules. And great to see a class 40 in Waterloo. I had never heard of this visit until now. Great spot!
Having spent many hours trainspotting in my youth trainspotting at Waterloo and Clapham Junction To see a class 40 at Waterloo is unheard of as they were mostly based in the north of England and Scotland and mostly freight locos.
Nice one! Coincidently i was there that day, a BH Monday, had 47602 (quite a thing for third-rail land) from 7oaks to Kenny 'O in morning. It was my only visit into Cricklewood depot that day. Got to Waterloo on way home late evening. Just looking at my notes from the day now, with all the livery codes i made up ! Padd, Euston, ST. Pancras + KX, all visited twice, OOC, SF and CW, TMD's, all no problem as a 14 year old back then eh hehe. Cheers for upload.
Yet another fabulous video. Had to laugh at the spotters standing on the ballast right next to the third rail!
Thanks for sharing these videos. Love that you have the everyday and mundane units as well as the loco hauled. It's like you have captured my childhood trainspotting days. Absolutely spot on 😃
I worked at Waterloo Station for 3 years, and would spend my breaks watching the comings, and goings. I never saw a class 40 unfortunately. But the class 50s were always one of my favourite locomotives. So handsome.
Brilliant br memory
31st August 87 a big storm in the southeast put out all the lights! Well it had been a decent summer.
Amazing quality of pictures and sound. D200 was a lovely sight in the mix👍
Brilliant priceless bit of footage mark thank you 👍🏻
Nice upload. I would have been 5 when this was filmed. I have very hazy memories of Waterloo looking like this. Wish I could go back in a time machine to visit it back then, but videos like this are a close second! haha
Watched that thrash away non stop through Salisbury from the sharp curve restriction
As far as I know the only ever visit by a Class 40 into Waterloo.

🚂👍
I love the close up of 40122, is she in preservation or gone for scrap, she's a beautiful locomotive ❤️🔥
D200 !
Hells-Bells that driver of the 40 got a bit too close to the third rail!
