We travel north of the border and a feast

Then we're back down south with some
remarkable footage of green Class 501s and 'Oerlikon' sets on the DC between Watford to Euston with a front window view on a Park
Royal DMU along the mainline from Euston before electrification!
There's a varied selection of green locos
filmed in the late 1960s including arrival at Sheffield Midland with 31s and
47s, a selection of hydraulics from down west, 47s in the Midlands
and lots of green DMUs.
