00:00 Harrods, Trafalgar Square, Oxford Street, you did it all in style 30 years ago.

00:08 Sunderland shoppers converged on London in the hundreds in 1993, when the Echo train

00:14 took them on a day's bargain hunting in the capital.

00:19 And here are those scenes once more.

00:22 An Echo photographer went with you as you boarded the train in Sunderland, nice and

00:26 early for a full day of retail therapy.

00:30 There were Wearside people of all ages on the journey, from nannies to 7 year olds,

00:36 and they all had loads of fun.

00:39 You read your favourite newspaper on the way, and pretty much shopped till you dropped before

00:45 getting on the train back to Wearside.

00:48 You loved it so much that you did it again in 1994.

00:53 We got it all on film, and here are those scenes once again.
