Can I sneak out of dinner with friends to film a train?
On 28th June 2024 I had agreed to go for a curry with friends... then I realised I had made a terrible error in my calendar! The Railway Children's Three Peaks Rail Charter set to run at the same time as I had agreed to be out!
Join me as I attempt to come up with a cunning plan to try and sneak out of dinner with friends to go and film it!

Who doesn't love an Electrostar? An hour at Battle Station in 2021

Time to dip into the archives... Back in September 2021 - a family holiday in Kent left me with a little bit of spare time in Battle, Kent. So off to the station I went! Join me as I explore the local station and try and film one or two of the Electrostar fest that there is to enjoy at Battle! I am not simply about steam trains and interesting railtours - the rough rule is 'If it runs on rails,...
Filming the HST Midland Pullman at St Bees when St Bees was 'closed'! - 12th June 2024
มุมมอง 378หลายเดือนก่อน
This is one of those moments when I wish I had had the camera rolling on our way to the location... On our journey to our filming location, we realised as we approached St Bees that all roads through St Bees were closed, due to Telecoms work - so this led to a rethink of the original plan for filming down by the shore - but there were roads open that allowed us access to the station - so this l...
I finally made it to Parton! Braunton on The Lakelander - 8th June 2024
มุมมอง 429หลายเดือนก่อน
With the Cumbrian Coast Line closed south of Sellafield due to re-planned engineering works - it was very much in doubt whether the Saphos Train's scheduled steam railtour "The Lakelander" would run at all! However multiple sources assured me it was running, and it was still active on Realtime Trains come Saturday morning... With the weather looking promising (if blustery) and having bailed out...
Tangmere on The Cumbrian Coast Express... with "Mrs Solway!" Saturday 1st June 2024
มุมมอง 278หลายเดือนก่อน
Having come down with a nasty bug the day before, I didn't think I was going to get any footage of Tangmere pulling the Cumbrian Coast Express or even get to see it! But Mrs Solway packed me up and took me down to see the train, and even set out with cameras to catch it on film! What a star she is! (Especially as she succumbed to the same nasty bug that had afflicted me the following night! 🤒) ...
When all other trains fail... steam finds a way through!

On the 23rd May 2024, as the West Coast Main line ground to a halt due to flooding in and around Carlisle, the last thing you would expect to be allowed to run would be rail tour pulled by a Steam locomotive of all things!! Originally, I had hoped to see Sir Nigel over Shap, but given the weather and vague uncertainty that she would run, I aimed for Penrith instead. At least I would be dry if s...

The best laid plans of mice and men... the story of the day! This was the first of 2(-1) rail tours that were originally scheduled to come down the coast today, but due to breakdown chaos in Shropshire, "The Lakelander" ended up being cancelled and not coming - which led to a change of plans for me - That and the Northern Rail Strikes meant the road ahead of Leander was clear and running early,...
The Northern Belle re-routed - but what's pulling it???

You probably know by now - but I didn't! The answer is found at timestamp 04:14 The Northern Belle on Saturday 23rd September had a change to its original route plan and schedule due to engineering works - with 34067 Tangmere originally due to pull it. With the train re-routed to take the Cumbrian Coast, the question is "Has Tangmere been route cleared for the rather restricted Cumbrian Coast?"...

      That appears to be the Aspatria Cheese Factory in the background, which would place this location just off the A596, slightly to the West of Aspatria. I would say that its after the turn from the A596 near Prospect, down the Ellen Villa Road, with the two spotters standing on the River Ellen Hump Back Bridge.
