Trains in the 1980s - Paddington Station - 1988/89/90

The first section of this video is from a quick visit to Paddington on Sunday 20th November 1988. Locos include 50 030 Repulse and 50 046 Ajax.

The next section was filmed on Bank Holiday Monday 1st May 1988 and shows Class 50s mostly on the Oxford services. It covers a period from about 2pm until 4:30 pm and sees Class 50s:
Howe, Vanguard, Repulse, Illustrious and Implacable in action, plus a couple of Class 47s.

Look out for the serious "flailing" from the 1st coach when Repluse leaves!


The final part was filmed in 1990, on the late afternoon of Sunday 20th May. It sees Class 50s 031 Hood, 023 Howe and 035 Ark Royal, with a few Class 47s and an HST.
