- Ipswich is a station I do like to visit, I would have liked to get to this location more often in the early days when I had a camcorder, but because I worked mostly six days a week I never did.
I do have a few more videos to share of the class 86s on the GEML.
I've always liked the Anglia livery and colour, sadly almost forgotten these days. Enjoying your retro look backs, keep them coming please👍
Thanks will do, I keep putting unseen old videos up while we are in this lockdown mate. Regards Mike.
Hey again antman. Another incredible video with some awesome shots! Once again just wondered if I could have your permission to use some snippets from this video for an Anglia documentary I am making. These would be super valuable clips given there's very little on CZcams! Thanks again!
Yes carry on Vanman, the days when there was loads of locos in East Anglia was great.
@@antman09ful1 thank you! I do appreciate it - will send you the link when finished :)
We need these days back again and see the slam door trains on the rail network
OH I agree but you know it wont happen.
Lovely trains! Loving these throw backs!
Glad you like them mate. Thank you.
Great video Mike! Ipswich is one of those few locations that remains interesting today thankfully, although the stupid 720s and 745s slightly ruin it. ATB Thomas
This is a super excellent comment Thomas, because all you have said I would second that.
Great footage Mike, nice to see the 86s in the old Anglian livery
Thanks Matthew.
Walked up n down there a few times. Just look at all those loco's.. Nice to see.
Yeah Keith, I must have gone on a Saturday.
Nice old footage of 86's & coaches in the Anglia livery. Fire damaged 312? at the end?
Good to look back, but this footage took a bit of finding.
wow thanks for this! there seems not to be much footage of the Anglia dbso sets in existence
I will upload more in the future mate.
good to hear
Great video Mike
Cheers Simon for your interest.
Some great electric noises Mike.
Cheers Tom, good to look back. Mike.
This video takes me back a few years Mike, I well remember when these fine loco’s dominated the GEML for many years. They had reliability issues towards the end and one of the last few was 86246 which was in fact the first 86 to reach Norwich under it’s own power on 7thApril 87, remember taking some pics at the time in the pouring rain! Happy days.
Well I'm happy Bryan I get to share this footage with you in the end, and I'm sorry you had to wait so long.
@@antman09ful1 It was worth it.
Regularly used the single coach units to felixstowe and woodbridge. Have they been taken out of service now ?.
Yes the class 153 have all gone to EMR I believe Steve. Cheers Mike.
Another brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)
That is cool matey.
Thank you for publishing some of your archive, Mike, while we’re all under a form of house arrest. These were brilliant trains, comfortable and fast
I think so Martin but I do like old stuff, as for the new trains we are getting thanks to our government who determines the standard of the trains.
That is why the comfort is not good anymore.
Mike - rail privatisation seems to have put meddling ignorant government incompetence front and centre of rail services. None of the promises about responding to customers’ wishes has been delivered
do miss those anglia railways class 86s
Well Joe that's ok, lots of people loved there sound.
Great video, would love to see some more of your archive Class 86 shots!
Thank you very much for your interest in my video.
Keep checking my channel as while we are in this lockdown I am uploading unseen archive between 2 or 3 times a week, next one will be tomorrow. Regards Mike.
48 yes today arrived at Ipswich Station to join the Royal Navy at HMS Ganges.
I uploaded this video the right day then Chris, thanks for watching.
Another great retro clip Mike. Am guessing it was a weekend visit going by how many locos were stabled there.
I think you are right Paul. Cheers Mike.
Super archive footage Mike. 🤓 Well done, stay safe 💙
Its taken me a long time to find this footage for a guy called Bryan, but I got there in the end Tony. Cheers Mike.
Nice locos, like the Anglia livery on the 86.👍
I agree David a lot better than that white I think. Cheers Mike.
used to see them through chelmsford station
Yes they used that line everyday.
Did the mk2 sets have a buffet car?
They usually had a Mk 3 buffet, but a couple of those trains seemed to be lacking one
As Andrei said not all the services had a buffet in the stock which is the same now with the new units which run the route, some have trolley service.
Some trains used MK 2F RFB . They were converted from FO (first open). 1214, 1215, 1218, and 1219. They have 3 windows blocked out on the left hand toilet side. The other side looks like a normal first open.
Greater Anglia 745s and 755s are comfortable trains.
You are entitled to your opinion John, I have travel on both and I like the MK2 and MK3 seating which we used to have. Thanks for your comment and the interest in my video.
Pity they're not reliable though
@@AndreiTupolev They are currently more reliable than they were when first entered service and like all new trains take time to bend in. When the 86s worked with MK2s on the GEML they weren't the most reliable of locos.
