Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Hearing that amazing puffing and chuffing sound and coaches coming through is absolutely crazy. Keep up the perfect work out there, my friend, I just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the UK.

Thsnks for the shout out and subs.iv not much to look at but its much appreciated

Thanks for the shout out and the new subscribers.

I know a lot of people who worked there. One said "it was like stepping back into the 1960s, really filthy" and that some real strange people worked there, including one man who used to "run through the shop floor at night, screaming his head off".

The footage showing the Princess loco under construction and the "Victorian" working practices. Well in those days that was normal for the welfare state hadn't taken over and if you got injured at work you weren't compensated like you are today. If you got injured badly you were fired from your job no if's or buts. The men in the works had to look after their own so if someone slipped and fell then a man would stand outside the pay office window and as you collected you pay in cash you would then give some to this man who was collecting for the injured man so he could continue provide for his family. Railway management wouldn't contribute for his getting injured at work was looked upon by them as not their problem. The unions were very different when they first came along for if you lost your job and it wasn't your fault then the union would find you another job in the field you specialised in and not just tell you of vacant position but actually get you the job. Today they've long since jumped into bed with the bosses and have no intentions of getting out of that bed for they do very little for their members but charge extortionate membership fees.

Fantastic video went round crewe in rhe 8os on open days along with Derby and Doncaster never got toSwindon

Please kill the music!

30 years ago a friend of mine owned a RR Silver Spur, I loved driving it, and I was a better driver than my friend.

Canada 🇨🇦 here as a young man i worked for mcalpine construction in Toronto Canada

Thank you very much for subscribing and taking your time to thanks

Nice video, very nineties especially with the tunes. Lovely to see all the locos, pity the works appears to be a third of its size these days with most of the land becoming yet more housing and a mcdonalds. Pity I wasn't yet around to see the final days of BR and the start of the privatisation era. One thing I'd have loved to have seen is the merry go round trains that were so prevalent in the 80s and 90s.

I want to go to Birmingham and there taking me on to Crew !

3:01 This Locomotive Works Crewe Works Which Is The Home Of The London Midland And Scottish Railway. Thanks Mate. X❤😂😅😂😅😂

Anyone who grew up in the 70's/80's will be very familiar with the scenes @ 14:00 on. British industry was decimated due to mis-management, asset stripping by greedy bast*rds in The City & political f*ckwittery. The Unions played their part too. On the other hand it was hard for earlier generations to get their head round the idea that Britain was no longer the center of an Empire & would have to compete on different terms. Still, it's sad to see our industrial heritage decimated, not to mention the impact it had on 1000's of families in towns all over the country.

I was at this open day as a little kid. Very vivid memories.

Outstanding upload much appreciated

Interesting video crap music 👎🏼

I've got a question which I hope someone here might know the answer - Why do ALL those who work, drive, manufacture, assemble or repair these various types of trains, always refer to the 'engine / train' as a 'she' ? The Navy does likewise with all their warships and submarines too. I appreciate it's been a tradition for a long time BUT this does not actually address the question, why?

A repeat of the circa 1966 version that I watched in June 2021. Was it all your own work?

The APT-P had extensive trials ? Hardly .... a failure ? Again, rushed in to service way before it should have been, p.s that was a 58 engine, not a 37 engine ( single turbo), fabulous video ❤, such a shame we will never see such a works like this ever again in the UK

It was a great occasion. I took my 3" 46256 "Sir William A Staniers FRS" and Black Five smokebox numberplate.

Started my apprenticeship at crewe engineering school within crewe works in 1959

Great video Jason a good insight into what Crewe used to be like😊

👍
