BR in the 1990s Claverton (Somerset) and Upton Scudamore (Wiltshire) on 23rd September 1995
Claverton (Somerset) and Upton Scudamore (Wiltshire) on 23rd September 1995
Featuring Locomotive SR 828 and normal services
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Claverton Bank on the Westbury line just out of Bath. A beautiful and peaceful country location near to the Avon Canal, here I saw SR Locomotive 828 climbing towards the camera amongst the normal sprinter services. Later at Upton Scudamore where the line to Salisbury levels off the SR Loco storms impressively up to the summit, this is quite a short clip but I feel it was definitely worth an upload. 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.
