Great stuff I love the idea of starting the units and doing all the tests with the shed doors closed, the lads in the shed would have been smoked out of it with diesel fumes.

 

Does anyone recognise the station at the end?

 

Looks like it was shot on the Eastern Region ex GNR loco, somersault signals, seaside terminus.

 

Possibly the terminus of a long branch line in Linconshire famous in the 70s & 80s for double headed Class 20 hauled excursions from the Middlands

I think that it is Skegness. There seems to be an add for Butlins and 'CAMP SKEGNESS' can be seen just beyond the exit from the platform.
