Description
A BR railtour upload now, some shots i took on Hertfordshire Railtour's 'Honey Monster' trip on 29 July 1995. We start at Paddington where we see the stock arrive behind a 47 with a pair of calss 33's dangling on the end. These were our main tour locomotives (plus later on 47 358 was attached to the other end), and we ended up in MOD Kineton, near Fenny Compton. Here we were allowed off the train and to wander around the stored stock in there. I filmed there and we see the Cromptons shunting around along with a couple of MOD locos plus shots of the stored stock (including an ex Merseyrail class 508, at the same time MR were claiming they couldn't increase the length of their trains as there was no stock available! Total lie.....as this vid proves). We finish back at Paddington where the stock is removed off to Old Oak. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
