BR in the 1990s Moreton Cutting Junction Didcot on 14th May 1991
Moreton Cutting Junction (Didcot) on 14th May 1991
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Moreton Cutting just East of Didcot Station taken on 14/05/1991. I spent around 4 hours (06.00 - 10.00) at this busy location on the GW route. The video is unedited due to it's busy content. Many cross country and local Oxford/Paddington services were witnessed in the hands of class 47s. HSTs were on the London/Bristol and S Wales routes and class 60s were appearing more frequently. Notice the smoking Didcot Power Station in the distance, now gone into the annuls of history. 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.
It shows Class 47 diesel locomotives handling cross country and local services between Oxford and Paddington, as well as High Speed Trains (HSTs) operating on routes to London, Bristol, and South Wales. The footage also includes appearances of Class 60 locomotives and views of the now-demolished Didcot Power Station in the background. The recording provides a historical snapshot of railway operations during the early 1990s.
