The Alan Harrison Collection Part 13 Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket British Rail BR Diesel Trains

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this video. Please leave comments below. Thank you.
During the summer of 1986, my good friend Alan travelled around the UK, armed with a hefty VHS camera, recording the railway scene. I'm delighted to be able to bring you the results. In Part 13, Alan visits Edinburgh Waverley and the nearby depot at Haymarket. The first shots are taken in Princess Street Gardens, between the two tunnels, where we see Class 27 and 47 hauled services. Alan than moves to a variety of locations around Waverley Station and captures some classic shots. Amongst others, we see 47716 Duke of Edinburgh's Award propelling a Glasgow bound push pull working, HSTs on East Coast Mainline services, Class 101 Met Cam DMUs on Fife Circle local workings and 47s and 27s on trains to and from Dundee and Carstairs. 26032 and 37011 double head some of the coaches from the Royal Scotsman luxury land cruise train and a pair of Class 20s work cartic wagons. All of this is set against the wonderful backdrop of Edinburgh, with views of Arthur's Seat, the Waverley Hotel, National Art Galley and the Castle. Alan then travels to Haymarket where he once again charms the staff into allowing him to visit the depot! The usual mix of Class 47, 27 and 20 locos are seen under repair, along with an unusual visitor, a class 55 Deltic - presumably 55022 / D900 Royal Scots Grey. Alan also captures some excellent footage of workings passing the depot, including a brilliant shot of 47702 St Cuthbert propelling a Glasgow bound push pull away from Haymarket as an Intercity 125 HST accelerates away from the capital on the parallel line, heading for either Inverness or Aberdeen. Alan returns to Waverley for some more shots in and around the station, including a wonderfully atmospheric shot under the canopy of a pair of Class 27s backing onto a Dundee service. Interestingly, this section finishes with a few more shots taken at Dundee, this time in the evening twilight. Given the time of year and the location, that probably makes it almost 10pm at night! We see 47430 heading for Glasgow with a rake of push pull coaches, presumably standing in for a failed 47/7. 47706 arrives with a terminating service from Glasgow before 27050 heads off on the Perth line.
