BR in the 1990s November 1994 Specials around the South of England
November 1994 Specials around the South of England
(Mainly Steam)
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this compilation is really for the Steam Enthusiast but does include the everyday to day normal activity around. November was a very intense month for the specials as this seems to be a period where Steam trains were attractive to run. I visited many locations around Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire chasing these trains in my reliable old Bedford van "Max" reaching speeds of up to 32 MPH on the M4 in an intrepid attempt to beat the special and all else doing the same. 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 includes footage from locations such as Alresford, Basingstoke, Salisbury, and London Paddington, among others. The content highlights various locomotive classes including 159, 165, 37, and 43, operating under British Railways and related operators. The video offers a nostalgic look at rail travel during this period, with an emphasis on steam traction and special services running in November 1994.
