If only could see the number plate on that bike as it looks very similar to my late father who would ride out to Goudhurst and Hawkhurst on his motorbike on his days off, he was still a box boy not getting his grade A yet based at North Kent East signalbox, in later years whether at Tonbridge or Cuxton as relief he would often man Paddock Wood signal box. On the last day foto's he's seen clearly in many pictures a gangly young bloke that he was lol He stopped riding bikes when in 1965 he did the "ton up" on the old A25 "road of death" and came off becoming somewhat mangled with bike and requiring a section of metal inserting in his conk and his then Norton Commando was abs totalled and he used the insurance money to buy his first car.

Paddock Wood box reminds me too of Orpington A another box my old man used to take me occasionally on nights, was pretty cool the trains running under the signalbox, also remember Orpington B but more modern and not so cool being a linesider lol

You could take a "direct" train to Leningrad, now st Petersburg, then, at least there was a trough sleeper car. Now you can't get to st Petersburg at all, and the journey from Hoek of Holland to Tallinn will take more than 2,5 days, no wonder everyone flies. By the way, ST43=class 47, same engine and power, but the locomotives were built in Romania to a design made by SLM, ABB and Sulzer from Switzerland, they run on similar bogies as the Swiss Ae6/6 electrics.

I was born in 61 and we lived in Chelmsford but we often went to Southend and this brings back so many memories. I had to repeat one part again and again as the little boy by the boating lake at 2:56 looks like I did then and I was sure it was me for a while. Particularly fond of watching this footage as I lost my 94 year old dad 8 weeks ago and this takes me back to a happier time with no cares. Thank You.

Beautiful, again some locomotive classes not seen in more recent footage, Baureihe 92.20, Baureihe 56.20, Reko Lok 58.30. But at the end I see EMU/DMU? on the high line which have cabs like the Soviet class ER1, can someone give clarity about these, as ER1s were broad gauge they couldn't run as such in East Germany, or were there built for standard gauge as well?

Looks like a ČSD M 498.0 (built in Hungary), the train "Vindobona" (Berlin-Vienna) was operated with Czech, Austrian and East German DMUs alternately.
