Description
Some of my early VHS recordings starting in EDINBURGH with 37s on passenger services. Not many other enthusiasts present, but good to see the old Inter-City liveries. Next back on familiar grounds on the popular Canton Footbridge. Pairs of 20 move in the yard and variety again with mixed freights. Next onto the station with more 37s, some double-headed and many coal movements. Aberthaw was busy 5 years ago. Finally, we're at Peterborough, on our way to Norwich, to capture more electrics and an 08 on shunting duties.
