My KZread channel features railway videos filmed between late 1991 and 2007.

It includes a number of class 50 railtours, diesel galas and general footage, filmed mainly in the South-West.

Thanks for looking at my channel and I hope you enjoy.

    Interesting you featured 47701 and 47708 here. I have both these locos, 47701 in NSE as shown in the video, 47708 in her Scotrail guise, with the name "Waverley", and also still doing push pull work. By coincidence, an item in the rolling stock newsreel of the January 1991 edition of Motive Power Monthly, under class 47, reads "Transferred to Old Oak Common that day, 47701 and 47708 were seen passing through Carlisle, light engine, at 01:50 on 31st October 1990, with nameplates removed". Basically, 47701 and 47708 were moved from Eastfield to Old Oak Common at the exact same time.

    Great video, but some dodgy practices in train movements, worst was on 11:12 door flew open on a DMU , driving from trailing cabs . I did over 40 years in the industry. A few rules broken here. One guy at Didcot got sacked for less than what happened within the station here. The area manager would be right in the shit at Exeter allowing these transgressions

    Class 47s were stopped being used on the Exeter to London Waterloo line via Honiton, Yeovil Junction, Gillingham Dorset, Salisbury, Andover, Basingstoke, Woking and Clapham Junction in May 1993. Replaced by class 158s and 159s in 1993 for nearly 30 years.
