The North East. Not much of it was electrified in my day (I think its still pretty much like that). So it was filled with all kinds of exciting locos and DMUs. I always preferred diesels to electric. You had to prefer one over the other, a bit like the Beatles and the Stones!

Berwick upon Tweed - Nov 84 A class 47 loco with containers of ammonia. Lovely! England's far outpost before the crossing into Scotland. |

Beverley - June 82 I'm sure it a Derby class DMU. But then again! |

Beverley - June 82 At the other end of the station, at the level crossing by the signal box with a Metro Cammell DMU leaving the station. |

Billingham - August 86 Dmu class 143 #143 003. |

|
Billingham - August 86 Another class 143 DMU. How thoughtful of them to turn the station signs towards the camera, so I wouldn't have to scratch my head and wonder where on earth it was. |

Bishop Auckland - End 87 Shortly after it was rebuilt, with a solitary platform (see below photo). Bishop Auckland used to be a major station with lines going off in a whole myriad of directions. The last surviving passenger line to Crook closed in 1965. |

Bishop Auckland - End 87 The one remaining platform. The line carried on west for freight and in latter years became the Weardale railway. |

Bradford Exchange - Mid 82 Renamed to Interchange in 83 because of the bus station built in background. Did it make a massive difference I wonder? |
|
|
Bridlington - June 82 Missing a few panes but still impressive none the less. |
