Description
More memories from my VHS days, catching Union of South Africa on the SRPS Railtour at Blackburn before departing with the support coach. Next, we move to Bury and the ELR with a variety of steam on a cloudy wet day ideal for the smoke effects. 28 years ago the scene is much different without all the improvements available in 2020
