No; it was it was only the train crew and the engineers doing the testing on board. No members of the public. The running days and times can be seen on Realtime Trains when they're doing the test trips. If you do get to see it running, don't go to South Greenford if you're videoing - it's too noisy from the A40 / Western Avenue.

They're certainly cute - but you should see their teeth and claws!!

When cut off by the tide, it's quite small island. And it's the rescue that's dramatic, not the the island.

If you look on Realtime Trains you can see when it's scheduled to run, and at what times. Even then there's no guarantee...

Thank you 🙂🙂

Indeed; there are several signs giving the safe crossing times...

I was born and bred on the Bakerloo Line Initially, my local station was Neasden on the Stanmore branch and then it was North Wembley on the Watford branch. When we were waiting for the train at North Wembley on our way to see my grandparents, I used to look out to see if our train would be a little red train or a big brown train. The little red trains were the Bakerloo 1938 tube stock and the big brown trains were the ex LNWR LMS Oerlikon sets. They weren't really brown of course, they were LMS maroon, but they were probably a bit faded and grubby by then so just looked brown to my young eyes. One day, to my great surprise, the big brown train was a big green train - nationalisation had arrived!

I had no idea what that meant so I googled it and it's something that has to be paid for! So no use to me.

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos nah yesterday

It still is one of mine!

A friend of mine is building a time machine in his spare bedroom. When it's finished, we'll all be able to go back and see them for real...

And you've guessed correctly! Congratulations. Yes, was is indeed taken at Spooner's and, for those who may not know where Spooner's is, it's at Porthmadog Harbour Station on the Ffestiniog & Welsh highland Railways in North Wales.

Wales; North Wales to be precise.

Had more time now and tracked it down by the signal initially.

@@yorkshirewanderer6176 But it's a pretty standard upper quadrant signal as seen all over a large part of B.R. But as you said before, the viaduct is quite distinctive...

@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Looks like it's from the NE to me the signal, but might be wrong.

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos AS no one has guessed from last week its Ushaw Moor

@@yorkshirewanderer6176 Well done! Yes, it's Ushaw Moor in Co. Durham. How on Earth did you manage to fathom that out?! You said that it's a North Eastern signal, but it looks like a bog standard B.R. signal to me, so what's special about it? There's nothing left of the station or the viaduct now; it's just a footpath. ☹☹

That was they only day that it rained. It was fine after that and got better every day.

Go on; no-one else has had a go so, before I come clean, let's have your theory.

​@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Wellington and where withdrawn locomotives were stored

@@yorkshirewanderer6176 Yes, that's exactly where it is. Or perhaps I should say was. Did you know, or did you do a bit of detective work? BR database, for example?? If so, you're the only one that did! This week's quiz pic. is now published, so any ideas?

​@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Detective work using the loco as my starting point. I'm not old enough to have visited some of the places you captured.

No matter how much you travel on the Underground, you won't see this view! It is indeed Epping, taken from the driver's cab of a tube train arriving from Ongar. However, as I'm sure you know, the Epping to Ongar line was closed by London Transport and taken over by the Epping Ongar Railway -- but not as far as Epping station; they stop short in the middle of Epping Forest. They do have aspirations to extend into Epping, but it will have to be a new station a little further up the line, so you won't be able to recreate this view.

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos I thought it might be a bit of a trick question which is why I went Epping with you not longer being able to make that journey. It does feature in one of my early videos of my travels around the London Underground as I make my way through Geoff Marshall's book.

They've certainly been around for a long time.

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos early to mid 90s I believe

@@AnthonyFurnival Indeed; I can certainly remember them in BR days.

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Thames Trains is the earliest memory I have of them I think

Yes, you're right. It's Dingwall. Perhaps it hasn't changed much in the last 64 years!

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Def changed since then, but for my visit I bought the Great Railway Journeys Through Time book for the line to look at what it once looked like and what to expect.

@@yorkshirewanderer6176 It turned out to be a wise investment then!

Glad you like it. 🙂🙂 The Bluebell's one of my favourites as my first experience of railway volunteering was at Sheffield Park. That was in July, 1960, a month before it opened to the public. I've still got a few more videos from the Bluebell to go on YT, so watch this space...

Nope!

You were in the right country, but too far south. It a train between Portmadoc (as it was at the time) and Minffordd seen from the Festiniog Railway's (only one F in those days) Boston Lodge Works.

Thanks for watching Dave. There are now three Double-Fairlies at work on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways and the newest one was built as recently as last year. There are also two more, but these are no longer steamable.

I'm trying to catch up with some of my footage from last year before I do much videoing this year, so there's still a few more to come. You really ought to have a trip or three to Wales though, especially if you like narrow gauge railways. Admittedly I'm more than somewhat biased, but you should put the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways at the top of your 'to do' list!

Vielen Dank. Grüße aus England. 🙂

What do you mean? Haven't you read the description?!

No, it's not! If you read the description, you'll see that it's the Dartmouth Steam Railway. That's also in Devon.
