This video is a Driver’s Eye View from a Class 101 travelling from Buxton to Chinley in the early 1960s. The Class 101 was a diesel multiple unit (DMU) train built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company between 1956 and 19591. The train was designed to be lightweight and efficient, with a top speed of 70 miles per hour1. The journey from Buxton to Chinley takes us through the beautiful Peak District National Park, with stunning views of the rolling hills and picturesque villages along the way.
As the train departs Buxton station, we see the town’s historic architecture and the surrounding countryside. The train then passes through the tunnels and bridges of the Hope Valley, with the River Noe running alongside the tracks. We see the quaint villages of Edale and Hope, with their charming stone cottages and lush green fields. The train then passes through the Chinley North Junction, where it meets the mainline from Manchester to Sheffield1. The video ends as the train pulls into Chinley station, with its Victorian-era station building and bustling platform.
I hope you enjoy this video and feel free to leave your comments and feedback. Thank you for watching!
