DERBY STATION on 24th February 1988
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip takes us into my archive from the year 1988 and kicks off with a visit to Derby taken on 24/02/1988. 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.

Nice Memories of Derby Midland when I was attending an Ultrasonic Testing Course at the Railway Technical Centre before the Railways were destroyed under Privatisation. Grand to see Engines and Units in proper Livery, and no damn Graffiti.

Fantastic piece of history and nostalgia there. I filmed myself on a number of visits back in 1990 and it was busy even then, but not as much as you had in 88. Thanks for sharing, Colin.

What a great trip down memory lane. Never realised the Peaks were still around so late in the 80's, and enjoyed watching them going on to Etches Park. Thanks for posting.

Oh brilliant, just brilliant!! Sadly, I remember vividly seeing those locos in green livery hauling crimson rolling stock. To add to the nostalgia, there were still locos from the back end of B.R Steam thrown in to the mix. An excellent video showing scenes never to return. So very well done and thank you👍

May have been a little tough on the loco, but I have seen 12 on a 31 and some quite heavy ballasts, although on the GWR we did double head the Newbury and Oxford services from Paddington....many thanks and sincere regards....Mark

Done a few overnighters on Derby platform before going to Ned St, which im sure it was the Summer Tenby mainly 47 hauled. Always something going on at Derby 👍👍

Couldn’t miss your take on derby. Coal hoppers, and Burkhardt wanted to double and triple freight. Ha ha. Bit late in the day for peaks, but doesn’t 45140 look good.

Suspect they were moving stock coming from the carriage works opposite Etches park.

I can personally vouch that pairs of 20s were still hauling passenger services as late as 1993.... Must notably perhaps on the 'Jolly Fisherman' summer services to Skegvegas
