12.20 seconds in AWESOME.... Takes me straight back to that period in time. The Thrash , Noise & that gorgeous traction motor whine! Gawd damn i miss those times.
Awesome video Jake but I wish you could get hold of a Tardis and ask your Dad to film more of the old DMUs accelerating out of the stations so we could hear those rasping exhausts again. Most of us weren't impressed with them then but we like them now.
Love those DMUs 6:05 - coupled up to a 'new' one lol 12:33 really is fantastic! I grew up in suburban Surrey so it was all DMU's and EMU's so we didn't travel on much diesel hauled stuff. I think the 40s are becoming a favourite. 15:55 day before my 12th birthday and 22:30 my sisters 16th birthday!
Top video of these whistling beasts at work and we still got a few left as I thought more than 7 would have been preserved as they was popular locos like class 37s are I liked the split box 40s and central headcodes the best but great memories from a bye gone era 😎
I really love the old diesel locos and am nostalgic in terms of all things railway but so much has changed in terms of emissions, noise and fuel consumption. Also of course a privatised railway.
Dearie me, Bolton looked a bit run down then. I like the Magical Disappearing Class 120 DMU. That must be a rare glimpse of a Class 506 EMU on video as well.

Love watching these portals to the past, they bring back many great memories! 👍
This takes me back to my old trainspotting days...
I wish I could time travel back
Oh the good old days of when we had real trains & these engines were something to behold

Takes you back to those wonderful halcyon days. Thanks for posting. 👍

NICE TO SEE MODERN DAY LADS BEING INTERESTED IN TRAINS IN THIS HI TEC WORLD.
Great video Jake nice to see the Hadfield unit at Ashburys cheers Steve .
ooh! that 40 leaving Bolton sounded right mean!
It has always been one of my favourites too!
@@aureol40012 I wonder if any of those guys reconise themselves ater all this time.
@@48firefox i still know lots of them!
If you aint seen it find the vid of 192 leaving bolton, still my fave 40 vid, dripping in nostalgia, atmosphere and a superb departure!!
"Is that our burglar alarm?"
"No dear its the 19;50 to Piccadilly"

Brilliant.
Awesome footage Jake.
they don t make em like this anymore
Brilliant
Remember those days
Any one of those lads at 12:55 could have been me. That was my time......
The kid kicking the 40 at 00:41 was obviously a Duff fan who got bowled for haulage 😂
Quality filming for the year!
James Proctor cheers James, the equipment weighed as much as a small fridge!
I've just realised that if you click on the time people have commented on, it takes you to that part of the clip! Mind blown.
Ha, yeah, took me a while to realise that too!
Didn’t know that either till I read your comment.😂
I’m on this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
5:32 BOLTON
My lords
16:37 - yaasss!!!
Manchester Victoria has been violated! The present state of the station is unacceptable without one through road for freight!
A 45 too

I was just born then
Was that an old 100 class?
NELSON MUNTZ FROM THE SIMPSONS ON 40 091 GOING HAR! HAR! AS THE TRAIN PAST THE CAMARA AT 16:44
Sorry if Im being thick, but is that still Bolton with 40150 departing? Either way, those "Big D" Class 40s were just Hell Fire!!!
Yes, it is!
@jake atkinson Thanks Jake - is there any chance you can tell me what date & train 40150 was working in this video please?? (I may have been on it).
@@prof.hectorholbrook4692 it was 2J38, the 19.35 Blackpool to Manchester, August 1984. Will dig out the exact date.
Was 013 7-57ons ca -holyhead
At about 1.10
oh no....not rees again ! 40150 not quite as good as 40192...
Nick H yeah, it was like a dry run for 192!
