After Tops Dvd

Description

Diesel and electric traction in the mid to late 1970s.

By the mid-1970s the diesel and electric motive power fleet had been re-numbered, with TOPS taking over, with the familiar Class categories.

However, the fleet itself remained as varied as ever, with everything from Westerns to Deltics on main line services.

This programme explores the network when loco hauled services still dominated.
