A real choo-choo!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! 👍
Probably on time not like the overcrowded trains that run now
Annoyingly, she was actually about 10 minutes late, meaning a nearly missed my train home. Amazingly though, I managed to get a seat on that train! Thanks for watching! 👍
Fab positioning and sound! Britannia was really belting along! Thanks for the great video!
No problem, really glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Like👍
Thanks!
Aweosme video!! They definitely weren't hanging about! 😂
No they definitely weren’t, yet after looking at the track diagram on OTT, they did have a few red signals on the approach to Oxford, as a GWR 165 was ahead. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter oh dear.. driver must have had a lot of faith in those brakes!! 🤣
@TrainGuy_2008 definitely!
Lovely video! Any idea why they're towing a diesel (looks to be a Class 47?) behind the train?
The Class 47 is used as extra motives power, eg. on steep inclines where the steam loco isn’t powerful enough on its own. It’s also used for if the steam loco breaks down, the tour can continue, yet under diesel power. Thanks for watching!
0:01 oh my god is that Thomas?!
Yes it is! 😂😂 3781 was offering driver experiences at Ropley for £20 each, sold out apparently within hours. They used Thomas because their Peckett 0-4-0 Kilmreson is at The Cholsey & Wallingford Railway for the winter. Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome compilation!! Always love a good tone or two.. I also realise I'm not the only one who jumps at most tones! 🤣 Awesome little short - loved the 70 horns the most honestly!
Thanks! I mean the 70 tones were cool. To be honest my favourite was from the Slovenske Železnice Flirt I saw in Slovenia, but UK wise, it would have to be the Voyagers. They make such a noise! Who knows, there may be a part 2 out later this year, I’ve not used all the ones I recorded! Thanks for watching!
@@SouthernRailSpotter yeah, I just personally love the horns 70s have.. always have, always will! 😎 Yeah that FLIRT horn was cool.. probably mainly because it wasn't from the UK - always nice to have a break from our trains every once in a while haha! Ooh, well I look forward to seeing that if/when you do make the video! :)
Great that you have so many train types in your country. Unfortunately in my post Soviet still neighbors killing country we have like two or three which travel daily 😢. Thanks and enjoy 👍🏼
Ohh interesting, which country are you from? I’m glad you enjoyed, Thanks for watching! 👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter Russia
@raimondtracar8703 Oh awesome! I’ve always wanted to visit Russia, I hear that the rolling stock is mostly Ex-Soviet, which I’d love to see!
Lovely ex Caledonian tank.
Oh isn’t she just! Thanks for watching!
Lovely ex GWR prairie.
Indeed, far better than a large prairie in my opinion, they’re to big and boxy. Thanks for watching!
TH-cam Mary and jesus in the Qur'an and Mohammad in the Torah and the Bible and the scientific miracles of the Qur'an and Mohammad in Hindu scripture
Ok? 😂
Lovely black 5.
Oh absolutely, thanks for watching!
Who has asked Railtrack to relay rails so that platforms have to have “Mind the gap” on STRAIGHT platforms. Totally crazy
It’s probably something to do with clearance for high speed passenger or freight services. Don’t quite me on it though. Thanks for watching!
I take it you're back off your holiday now? Either way, this was a great clip with a nice tone! 😄
This was actually there first train of the holiday! But yes I’m back now, sadly. I’m going to be uploading new shorts from each section of the journey, everyday next week, which will take a while. I’ve still got to edit some clips from onboard the trains, but I should have them all up by the end of next week! Thanks for watching! 😀👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter oh right, I thought this might've been the first clip of you being BACK! 😂 I look forward to watching all those clips.. don't get too bored uploading them all! 🤣
@TrainGuy_2008 trust me, I will! 😂
She's absolutely beautiful.
Oh absolutely! Easily one of the prettiest mainline diesels in the UK. Thanks for watching! 👍
Great bit of filming, but the Woodhead Route should have become the country's foremost mainline heritage railway. It was there for grabs, complete with all lines, stations, bridges, tunnels, signal boxes. Above all, it connected two big cities. Every enthusiast in the country would have donated for such a project. There's still time, but now it would have to be rebuilt from scratch.
Thanks, It was a really good day out! Didn’t know about this Woodhead line, but you’ve peaked my curiosity. Will definitely need to read up on it! Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome. Still can't believe that I haven't yet visited the GC. Need to make that happen!
Absolutely, it’s a wonderful railway! Thanks for watching! 👍
LNER
Indeed!
That Western looks and sounds as good as ever!
Indeed she does! Thanks for watching! 👍
Good video. Could you explain the title of this video please, 'The Worlds only mainline heritage railway'.
Of course! The Great Central, unlike other heritage railways in the uk, is equipped with a section of double track (between Loughborough and Rothley), meaning that visitors have the rare opportunity to see heritage trains passing each other at speed. Due to the railway having that section of double track, it is technically classed as a mainline railway, and unlike any other heritage line, it has a maximum operating speed of 75 MPH, instead of the usual 25 MPH. The original line went as far south as London Marylebone, and as far north as Manchester Victoria before it was cut up during Dr. Beechings nationalisation programme in the 60s/70s. This is the only example of a mainline heritage railway on the planet, hence its nickname! Glad you enjoyed the video, it was definitely one of my favourites to film! Hope my answer was helpful! 👍👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter I have to admit I don't know a lot about GCR obviously so I am glad I asked. Thank you for explaining.
@rmarsh401 No problem! 👍
Very nice, like.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow good..beautifully 👍❤
Thank you! 👍
She sounded brilliant there! 😍
I know! What a machine, the power from that exhaust!
@@SouthernRailSpotter yeah, beastly things for sure! 😍
Awesome shots! I saw her in Junction but then I went to Chester for the 57+60 tour and stupidly forgot about this returning and didn't manage to film it. 🫤 Anyway, amazing catches as always mate - loved them!
I was going to head to Chester to see 57306, but I decided to head to the Race Course bridge where I saw 44871 this morning, but missed her by about 30 secs! Not the start I would have wanted, however I know that I am passing through LLJ at some point this week! I’m going into town to see the trams, but I’ll see if I can stop off at LLJ for a bit!
@@SouthernRailSpotter ah, did you not see the 57/60 tour then..? I saw her in the morning but then completely forgot about her returning and booked tickets back to Junction so I got two videos; steam leading and diesel leading.. which were good videos at least. We've got the Northern Belle on Saturday, so if you're nearby then - pop in and say hello; I'll be there! 😎😂
@@TrainGuy_2008 I don’t know, I might be visiting the Llangollen line on the Saturday. I know that I’m coming to Llandudno tomorrow to ride on the Tramway, but I don’t know when exactly. The Midland Pullman and The Statesman are also coming through LLJ this week. Are you not going to see them?
@@SouthernRailSpotter forgot to mention those tours! Yeah, I'll be seeing Midland Pullman tomorrow and Statesman on the return on Wednesday 👍 Enjoy your stay down this way; if/when you are in Llandudno Junction, let me know and if I'm nearby I might pop in.. if you don't mind of course! 👍
@@TrainGuy_2008 Of course I don’t mind! Been in town today on the Great Orme Tramway and am going to be on the 15:42 Transport for Wales service to Manchester Airport. I’m not going to be stopping off at LLJ, but I’m definitely passing through!
Great captures :)
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
nice video and good job
Thank You, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! I saw her at West Byfleet.
As I have seen! She was really putting down power along the down line, incredible noise! Sorry I’ve not had a chance to comment on your video yet. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SouthernRailSpotter You're welcome and thank you.
That railtour was amazing 👏
It definitely was!
@@SouthernRailSpotter I know right!
I've seen it at Upwey
Oh Cool! Was that on today’s tour, or something else?
@@SouthernRailSpotter today's!
@Harrys.trainadventures Awesome, will check out your video and subscribe!
Cheers!
@@Harrys.trainadventures No problem! she really opened up through the station in your video,what an incredible noise. A well earned subscription!
Who filmed this.. was this one you or was the other angle you?? 😂 Great shot.. couldn't help but notice the little wind wiper going crazy haha
This was filmed by brother, he sometimes helps out on shoots when I can’t film some of the shorts.
@@SouthernRailSpotter ah okay, cool! 🙂 Always good to have someone who can help you with spotting.. my brother sometimes films things for me but not very often
Nice capture
Thank you, did you catch her at West Byfleet?
@@SouthernRailSpotter Yes i did :). Will be seeing it at Woking this evening :)
@basictraincontent Oh awesome! Good luck! 👍👍
Great capture. I caught the Western at many different stations
Thanks! Just watched your video; It was a really odd route wasn’t it. Why didn’t she take the Canal Line up to Birmingham Newsreet via Leamington Spa? Anyways, some great shots there, keep up the good work!
That was AWESOME!!! She was travelling at a brilliant speed and she made a good bit of engine noise, what's not to love!? 👍👍
Definitely! I was bloody scared though; the speed she was travelling at was incredible, bearing in mind she had just left Oxford! Would have liked a bit more noise, but it was still awesome to see! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SouthernRailSpotter haha, I can see why you'd have been scared.. especially considering it didn't look that fast on those bends just before the station!! Yeah, suppose there could've been more noise but there could've been less so at least you got some! ;) It was brilliant as always - keep it up!
Awesome!!! I think that might've been an Ilkley too! Bet you're glad that 221 wasn't running late haha! 😂😂
I didn’t even know the 221 was approaching until I heard the announcement! It just appeared, so thank god it wasn’t late. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SouthernRailSpotter oh yikes! That's the best worst thing - a train just appearing out of nowhere, it can benefit you.. or it can ruin your video! 😬
@@TrainGuy_2008 So True! In this case however, it made the video far better!
@@SouthernRailSpotter yeah, thankfully! 😂
I can see that they have added the stuff for the blind and visually imparments
Nice!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
It's a lovely colour.
Oh absolutely!
Thank you for the information.
Your welcome? What information did I give you, I’m genuinely confused! 😂
The location and the date. I always appreciate that.
When this was at NYMR, younger visitors thought it was diesel. Also they think any black steamer in reverse is a diesel, even though there never was any black diesels.
After this passed through, some people came through the crossing, who asked me, “was that a special DIESEL train?” Bear in mind these were adults, not kids. I don’t like it when people confuse the spam cams for diesels. They are far more beautiful the any diesel locomotive in this country.
Didn't think this ran anymore last time i seen it was shed up at Didcot
I believe I filmed this after the GWSR gala in 2019. I wish she was still running, she’s easily Didcots flagship engine, (apart from 2999 and 4079)!
@@SouthernRailSpotterI was doing research and found this engine King Edward II is currently waiting for its Overhaul since its boiler ticket expired in 2020 and I wasn’t able to find any other info on this. It’s twin King Edward I is currently undergoing an overhaul and its boiler ticket doesn’t expire till 2029 so it might be back soon but I didn’t see when this would be finished. Anyways nice shot, love the livery on this loco. Have a good day God bless
