Description
A film from 1987 showing various special trains running on the Ian Allan Network Day in October 1987. A special rover ticket allowed travel all over NSE for about a fiver if i remember correctly. My day started with the Crompton+TC set on the St Albans Abbey branch and took in a look at Waterloo before heading east for the green Cravens DMU on the Sudbury branch and the green 302 EMU on the LTS. Sadly the Shenfield unit had failed on the Romford-Upminster by the time i got there so missed out on that one. Also seen are various EMUs & locos at Colchester including a 313 on the Clacton locals! All in all it was a good day out and the idea was picked up by NSE management as they held several Network Days of their own over the years. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
