Description
BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
WCML around Cumbria during mid March 1999
While we (Me and Nick) were up in Cumbria following the diversions over the S & C route, we visited several locations on the West Coast Mainline between Scotsman's Bridge and just North of Lancaster at Holme. Braving the cold wind, we witnessed really normal everyday running of the route. A multitude of AC Electric traction, such as Class 86 and 87 and Class 60 on Coal traffic plus Class 56 action. Intermingled with this traction were HST and Class 158's. Enjoy the beauty of the Lune Gorge near Beckfoot and the trains that pass us by. If you enjoy the video please like and subscribe . 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 to all subscribers and for the likes, also to all those viewers whom over the years have kindly shown an interest in my material.
