The way we were

Post by hq1hitchin »

The journey of the 07:12 Yarmouth to Liverpool St one day in 1978. Wonderful, simply wonderful - even if the 47 has an English Electric engine!

Oops - sorry, I thought it was BR(E), not the GER. Can a moderator delete this lot, please?

Thats ok, sorry if I seemed a bit abrupt and you are right about BR(E), but the OP was from the same site.

It just seemed a waste of bandwidth, but an excellent video as you say.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, hq1. The good old British fry-up for breakfast looked good - I don't miss the smoking going on, though. And did I hear 6 pounds 30p for the Norwich-London trip? Yikes!
