us with all those sights and sounds which have now been swept away
by modern multiple units and the march of the class 66.

DESCRIPTION |
|
This
is Preston |
The
80s are back... And they're DREADFUL! ... (and so are the
90s)
It's like the 80s never went away - Preston the way it used to be,
with 87s, 86s, 85s, 47 galore and even a pair f 25s in their final
days. For the DMU fans, 104s and 108s are in plentiful supply, as
are 101s and some almost new 142s.
As we move into the 90s, we see the move to Intercity livery, with
class 31s on Regional Railways services and much more.
The DVD is rounded off with a short selection of footage from the
new millennium, bringing us right up-to date.
This is an essencial nostalgia trip for all of us who had an
interest in Preston Station, and railways in general over the last
three decades.
