Doncaster Station on 16th June 2000
In the Summer of 2000 I made a day visit to Doncaster, where I filmed for over 6 hours, so saying that, as you can imagine it produced a lot of material. So I have split the feature into 3 manageable parts for ease of editing and uploading, also not to bore my loyal viewers too much! I captured on video no less than 10 different railway liveries, including a couple of the bright Yellow Sentinel Shunters in the depot. Traction wise I witnessed DMU Classes 156, 158, 142 and EMU Class 321 all mostly in Northern Spirit livery. Several HST's passed through on GNER and Cross Country workings in GNER and Virgin Livery. Several of the ECML services were hauled by Class 91 Locomotives running "Slab End" first and a service was seen hauled by a Class 90 Locomotive. GNER at this time were utilising shortened to 14 carriages, Eurostar trains, painted in GNER Livery. They looked rather splendid and were a definite change to the regular Mark IV stock. A school special ran into the station hauled by a RES Liveried Class 47 Locomotive. Much freight was captured on video too hauled by Class 56, 60 and 47 Locomotives and several Light Engines passes through, in a variety of Liveries and types including a solitary EWS Liveried Class 37 Locomotive. Plenty of traction types representing Diesel, Electric, and Multiple Units were seen on this visit, so I sincerely hope you enjoy the video and if you do 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.
