BR in the 1980s - The Alan Harrison Collection Part 10 Holyhead, Bangor & Llandudno Junction, Wales

During the summer of 1986, my good friend Alan travelled around the UK, armed with a hefty VHS camera, recording the railway scene. I'm delighted to be able to bring you the results. In Part 10, Alan continues his exploration of the North Wales Coast Mainline. On arrival at Holyhead, he makes a dash out to the stabling point where he films two Class 47 hauled trains. The first is (I think!) the 1245 1A56 departure for Euston whilst the second I believe to be 47530 shunting the ECS that will form the 1315 departure. If I remember correctly, the 1245 would run express along the coast, calling only at Lllandudno Junction and Chester, whereas the 1315 would call at all the other major stations as well. Alan must have caught the 1315 back to Bangor because the next shot we see is 33003 arriving with 1V09, the 1408 Holyhead to Cardiff Central. This working had only recently introduced the Southern Region Class 33s to the North Wales Coast and was a particular favourite of many enthusiasts, myself included. Alan's next shot is of 47455 leaving Llandudno Junction in westerly direction, heading over the causeway towards Conway. In true Welsh style, the rain beats down as we see an up Euston service arriving from the Conway direction, hauled by a double headed class 47. Given that 47518 is in ex-works large logo livery, I am guessing that it was on test from Crewe following overhaul, something that happened regularly on this line. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this video. Please leave comments below. Thank you.
Durante el verano de 1986, mi buen amigo Alan viajó por el Reino Unido, armado con una gran cámara VHS, grabando la escena del tren. Estoy encantada de poder traeros los resultados. En la Parte 10, Alan continúa su exploración de la línea principal de la costa norte de Gales. Al llegar a Holyhead, se lanza al punto de estacionamiento donde filma dos trenes de clase 47. El primero es (¡creo!) la salida 1245 1A56 hacia Euston, mientras que el segundo creo que es 47530 desviando el ECS que formará la salida 1315. Si no recuerdo mal, el 1245 correría expreso a lo largo de la costa, llamando solo a Lllandudno Junction y Chester, mientras que el 1315 también llamaría a todas las demás estaciones principales. Alan debe haber tomado el 1315 de regreso a Bangor porque el siguiente disparo que vemos es el 33003 llegando con el 1V09, el 1408 Holyhead a Cardiff Central. Este trabajo había introducido recientemente los Clase 33 de la Región Sur en la costa norte de Gales y era uno de los favoritos de muchos entusiastas, incluido yo mismo. El próximo disparo de Alan es de 47455 dejando Llandudno Junction en dirección oeste, dirigiéndose sobre la calzada hacia Conway. Al más puro estilo galés, la lluvia cae a cántaros cuando vemos un servicio de Euston que llega desde la dirección de Conway, remolcado por una clase 47 de dos cabezas. de Crewe después de la revisión, algo que sucedía regularmente en esta línea.
Im Sommer 1986 reiste mein guter Freund Alan mit einer kräftigen VHS-Kamera durch Großbritannien und filmte die Eisenbahnszene. Ich freue mich, Ihnen die Ergebnisse präsentieren zu können. In Teil 10 setzt Alan seine Erkundung der North Wales Coast Mainline fort. Bei der Ankunft in Holyhead stürmt er zum Abstellplatz, wo er zwei Züge der Klasse 47 filmt. Die erste ist (glaube ich!) die Abfahrt 1245 1A56 nach Euston, während die zweite, glaube ich, 47530 ist, die die ECS rangiert, die die Abfahrt 1315 bilden wird. Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, fuhr die 1245 Express entlang der Küste und hielt nur Lllandudno Junction und Chester an, während die 1315 auch alle anderen großen Bahnhöfe anlief. Alan muss die 1315 zurück nach Bangor erwischt haben, denn die nächste Aufnahme, die wir sehen, ist 33003, die mit 1V09 ankommt, der 1408 Holyhead nach Cardiff Central. Diese Arbeit hatte erst kürzlich die Klasse 33 der südlichen Region an der Küste von Nordwales eingeführt und war ein besonderer Favorit vieler Enthusiasten, mich eingeschlossen. Alans nächste Aufnahme ist von 47455, die Llandudno Junction in westlicher Richtung verlässt und über den Damm nach Conway fährt. In wahrer walisischer Manier prasselt der Regen nieder, als wir einen Up Euston-Zug aus Richtung Conway kommen sehen, der von einer doppelköpfigen Klasse 47 gezogen wird. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass 47518 in der großen Logo-Lackierung ab Werk ist, vermute ich, dass es sich um einen Test handelte von Crewe nach der Überholung, was auf dieser Linie regelmäßig vorkam.

    Used to cost me £3.00 for a child's North Wales Weekly Explorer back then - would ride & ride behind these all day. Great video bringing back some happy memories - thanks.

    Excellent footage 👍 Class 33s on the North Wales coast were short lived from what I remember, about a year I'm guessing that 47518 failed while on test, as the loco under test would normally have been at the front of the consist

    Was it only a year T37? I have such fond memories of them thrashing their way along the coast that it seemed like they were there for longer!

    The train at 1:05 has a lot of First class coaches on it, even the few without yellow stripes look based on the number of windows to be declassified First class. 8 out of the 11 have First class yellow strip, the other 3 look like ex First class.

    Food spot Waverley. Almost the entire train was first class... I’m guessing much of it was declassified. I wonder why? Maybe it was a relief extra service. I used to love it when a rake like that turned up.... there was nothing like a bit of declassified luxury was there?
