Longsight Depot Open Day. May 1992
I failed to make a full list of all the traction on site but included in this clip are:-87101 90019 20227 47353 55015 D120 D212 D1842 D6508.
Looking back I've noticed how few photographers were at the event, which made me think that maybe it was open for local residents rather than a "Rail Open Day", as we call them now. Anyway I hope you enjoy this old VHS tape, pat 2 with steam will follow soon
This video captures footage from an open day at Longsight Depot in Manchester in 1992. It includes various railway stock such as 87101, 90019, 20227, 47353, 55015, and diesel units D120, D212, D1842, and D6508. The event appears to have had limited attendance, suggesting it may have been more local in nature rather than a formal rail open day. The footage is presented as part of a VHS recording, with a follow-up video expected that includes steam traction.
