I remember walking around the hill fort in .. 1989/90.. 😳 Fascinating to see how much Hunsbury has come on. There was a moment when it looked like the railway project would fold.. Nice pics!

Nice capture by you and Ryan Purple.👍.

Hi Dave. have been here 3 times but has not been running so great to see it. Would be great to have the whole circle running. Caroline

The Epping Ongar Railway has a very similar locomotive made by Hawthorne Leslie in red and maroon.

Where is this taking place? It looks like another great little heritage railway!!

Nice little J94!! Able to haul quite a heavy train of passengers from Ongar to North Weald Bassett!!

It's me birthday September 1st,so me kids have booked a visit to the Dinosaurs 🦖🦕 and finally going to miniature STEAM TWAIIIINS at Northampton,chuff chuff whooo whoo🚂🚃🚃🚃👍

Hi purple from Dan

Hi purple x Lads😊 TWAIIIIN,choo,choo, Nice to see some TWAIIIINS from field height as well as drone footage.Great capture x editing,well done young Edward 👍👍👍

I bet you all had a brilliant time.

A great video. Well done Edward.

Hi purple from Dan

Talk about a brilliant Dad and Lads Day. 👌👍.

I walked through the tunnel about 5 years ago, the Corby end was blocked with rubble. I think those bricked up walls and vents are only a couple of years old. The long sleepers are 'crossing timbers', used on points and crossovers, where the tracks diverge. 'Standard gauge' (4' 8.5") was used by all the main railway companies, though Brunel tried broad gauge tracks in the 1800's

Hi Mr Purple, great video, I suffer from lower back pain please tell me they've sorted out the terrible seats 🙏

Amazing footage with your drone over my home town. I use to spend a lot of time on the GCR as a child in the early 80s. My parents garden backed onto the line. Take neighbours dogs for a walk. I still walk along the GCR have done for many years all year round. To visit my mother in Hillmorton. Ashlawn Bridge is huge and in very good condition definitely my favourite across the stretch. I've seen a lot of changes and it's sad to see new developments around that I once walked on. The GEC was a feast back then. The railway tracks were donated by Network Rail probably just before you started filming. GCR never disappoints. And my mother has the very last ticket issued before GCR was axed. Because her dad worked on the station then transferred to LNER Before he retired in 1980. So a definite thumbs 👍 I've subscribed aswell 🚂🚃🚃🚃

Ain't a Thunderbird. Class 57s "Thunderbirds" are Class 57s named after characters out of Thunderbirds.

Hi just a little observation, I see in the description it says mainly owned by DB Schenker UK, I think it should be DB Cargo UK. The Schenker side is mainly for the road logistics side of things, and Cargo is the more traditional rail side.

Hi purple x co 😊 lovely clear video on the mobious 1,👍 Is the mic on the drone or next to you as those bird sounds come thru real crisp.I spend seven afternoons a week near the tracks at Irchester but rarely get to see all those different TWAIIIINS that you capture 😢

You're very good with the drone, had it been me flying it i could guarantee it'd be stuck in a tree a mile off course.

Hi purple. Great video as always. What's this train for? I've seen other videos of it closer up and it appears to have seats in the carriages. No data instruments or alike? Very curious for it's use. Cheers pal, Andy.

Hi purple from Dan

My father was a goods guard Operating out of Northampton In the 1950s!

Hi purple from Dan

The scenery is very similar to that on the Epping Ongar Railway. They have Great Western locomotives on a line that was originally run by the Great Eastern.

Glorious videography. Obviously a country railway!! It’s lovely to watch and hear the steam trains!!

Hi purple x co 😊 Excellent 👍 STEAM TWAIIIIN, station, lovely open Northamptonshire countryside😊better than anything on the telly tonight 😂 Love the sounds,just missing out on the smells 🚂🚃🚃🚃

Toton sidings, my "playground" in the 1960s. At one time the largest marshalling yards in Europe.

Did you not know about Toton bank on the far side? Last time I went I parked in a housing estate and walked for 5 minutes you get Heightened perspective from there on the side where the scrap 60s are. Toton is OK, went in 87 as a kid running around the shed on an authorised visit. Was full of 45s, 47, 56s, 20s, 37s and 08s back then. I did barrow hill and Tinsley as well.. Magical days indeed.

That site would make one heck of a basis for a model railway! I expect you have already clocked that GBRf are supporting a gala at the Nene Valley Railway over 7 - 8 Sept, including a tour of their Peterborough HQ?

A better view is from the bank on the east side. M1J25, take A52 towards Nottingham turn right at the 1st roundabout towards Toton, down hill to the lights and turn right on Banks Road, go as far as a turning circle and park up. Then its through the bushes onto a footpath that will take you to the top of the hill .

Been to Toton a few times when I was with EWS / DB . DBC seems to be losing contracts to other companies these days. EWS started off well and went down hill and went down hill even faster when DB took it over.

Hello Purple, I Remember going there in the late 1970’s, appears over half the site has now been left to nature, pity you weren’t around with your drone when Tinsley was open, that was also a massive site.

Hi purple x Ryan x co 😊 who doesn't like track laying machinery 🤔No TWAIIIINS without it 😊 just like no aerial views without mobious 1 👁️eye in the sky. If you get chance can ya do a video showing how they load and unload cars onto train carriages.👍👍👍

Hi purple from Dan

Hi David this is my part of the country Nottinghamshire.Great video of Toten sidings and maintenance shed 👏👏👏👍

Gorgeous livery, that Maritime Blue!! We had one at the Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club this morning!!

Please remind me where Toton is. I think it’s in the south-west of the country, but I can’t place it immediately!!

The music is good with the video, my friend!!

Soo many locos ...dunno if that's a good thing - arn't they meant to be out revenue earning ? What I initially thought was a staff car park was actually a queue for the car transporter train. Lovely to see, thanks Purple & Ryan

Good to see that Toyota is transporting cars by train rather than just putting them on trucks!!

It's Better Than The Meridians.

Hi purple x Ryan x co 😊 excellent drone footage, great to see some of Nottingham railways on your travels 👍👍👍

Awesome video Purple, nice watch. Sad to see all those stored 60s at Toton

Wonder when those 810s will start doing electric testing.

I like the sound of it, but mercy, how long does it take to clear out?

Only 5 coaches? Is the MML a branch line now?

Meridians better in my opinion
