Description
Another 80s vid now, from a chilly Bournemouth. This was towards the end of diesel working to Weymouth, electric traction would work trains to Bournmouth where class 33/1 locos would work a portion of TC units forward to Weymouth while the rear of the train would terminate there and go back Up road with another incoming portion from Weymouth. The electrics were at one time REP units but by this point in time they had been withdrawn as BR removed the English Electric traction equipment for use under the new class 442 Wessex Electric's. So class 73's were used as the electric traction to & from Waterloo. Also seen on this vid are 47's on an Inter-City and oil tanker working plus an EMU.
