FACEBOOK - RAIL THING ROUTES - EAST COAST MAIN LINE

On a trip to Peterborough in July 1986 less than an hour brought an HST, a couple of classic DMUs and a class 45 and 37 hanging around in the sidings.

The line was electrified soon afterwards, and some electrification poles are already visible in some of the shots.

FACEBOOK - OXFORDSHIRE TRANSPORT HISTORY

My only visit to Oxford (other than passing through) was on 2 July 1986. The station was busy with plenty of variety and just about all is history now, though I suspect the station is even busier these days. Oxford always had a reputation of providing a big variety from most of the old regions of BR. Back in 1986 it was just so easy, plonk yourself on a platform and just watch the classic traction come in!
