Old Oak Common Depot and Mainline on 11th December 1994
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip was taken from the path beside The Grand Union Canal overlooking the retaining wall at the entrance to Old Oak Common Depot. An excellent vantage point for in and out traffic to the depot and also at this time beyond the mainline could be seen the new Eurostar North Pole depot next to Wormwood Scrubs !. LE movements and ECS movements were seen as well as the Santa steam specials running around from Paddington and the S.W London area. A quick finish up at Mitre Bridge to see steam loco 80079 making her way over the GWML and canal. 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. I have dedicated this movie to my daughter.
