On Thursday, I came over all nostalgic about BR Blue DMUs, so let's head back to 1986 and stand on the end of the platform at Birmingham New Street station.
The camcorder footage isn't terrible and even if you aren't looking at the trains, there is much to see. Lines of BRUTEs along the platform to handle post and newspaper traffic. Trainspotters everywhere and surprisingly young. I could have been there as although I was never much of a spotter, I've always enjoyed watching trains, especially those with proper locos on the front!
