TRAIN CRAZY

Riding the DRS Scrap Train Part 1 (180-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: TC061D

The headcode of 6Z92 may not be the most recognised headcode but the 09.20 Fridays only scrap train from Stockton to Sheerness may well have been the freight flow of the year. Operated by DRS and using a pair of Class 37s the train takes an interesting route along the East Coast Main Line to York then Barrow Hill, Derby, Leicester to the Midland Main Line through to Luton and Hendon then Clapham Junction and deep into third rail country to Gillingham and finally Sheerness. With a journey time of just short of 12 hours and 18 loaded scrap wagons in tow, the variety of different classes of unit and loco that pass the train is remarkable! From the humble Class 142, 158 and 185 DMUs to the Class 91s and HSTs through to Class 222s, Class 319s, 455s and other EMU types plus various freight, this really is an incredible journey.

Filmed in 16:9 widescreen in fine weather and with the full co-operation of DRS, the first part of this cab ride takes the viewer from Stockton to Derby, travelling via Eaglescliffe, Thirsk, York, Colton Junction, Milford Junction, Moorthorpe, Barrow Hill and Chesterfield.

Price: £19.96 (Including VAT at 20%)
Price: £16.63 Excluding VAT (non-EU countries e.g.Australia)

Riding the DRS Scrap Train Part 2 (230-mins) (DVD-R)

Ref: TC057D

Part two of is from Derby to Clapham Junction. Travelling via Leicester, Wellingborough and the Midland Main Line to Bedford we come under the wires and run deep into commuter-land. The journey from here gets even more bizarre as this double-headed Class 37 hauled train and its rake of 18 loaded scrap wagons shares this busy part of the railway network with HSTs, Class 222 DMUs, Class 319 and 377 EMUs and commuter-packed stations. Passing through Luton and St.Albans we change drivers at Hendon and opposite Cricklewood Depot we quietly slip away on the freight only Brent Curve Junction. From here the scenery changes again with a slow crawl along this non-electrified section, passing the semaphore signals at Dudding Hill Junction, Neasden Junction and Kew East Junction. Passing over the West Coast and Great Western Main Lines and through Acton Central, the sharp curve at New Kew Junction and into third rail-territory as we pass various Class 450, 455, 458 EMUs on their way to and from London Waterloo. We approach Clapham Junction via platform 3 and take the underpass, emerging opposite Stewarts Lane depot and then to Wandsworth Road where this second part of the journey ends.
