EDITORS COMMENTS
British Rail's new sprint star, the Sprinter 150, made a grand entrance into Newcastle on 9th August 1985, completing a triumphant North lap of honor. This print captures the excitement and pride surrounding this cutting-edge train as it was showcased in the North East following its successful trials in the East Midlands. Amidst a backdrop of flags and an eclectic mix of passengers spanning different age ranges, Olympic athlete Midle McLeod can be seen enthusiastically waving from one of the train's windows. As she prepares to embark on her journey, project assistant Vanessa Mooney stands beside her on the platform, ready to ensure everything runs smoothly. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a bygone era when railways were at their peak. The image showcases not only the sleek engine but also highlights public transport's significance in connecting communities across Britain during that time. The photograph encapsulates both nostalgia for the 1980s and admiration for British Rail's innovation. It serves as a reminder of how trains played an integral role in shaping our nation's history while offering efficient transportation options for all.
