Great video Mike. The variety of locos and liveries is fantastic. Thoughts right now with driver and passengers who sadly died in today's derailment in Scotland.
That was a productive trip out Mike, decent amount of freight, mix of HSTs, and the bonus unit drag. Not sure if your captions for the Banbury and Elstow to Mountsorrel are the right way round as I've never seen those wagon types on those workings before but have the other way round. Been Cossington quite a few times myself, but didn't know there was a shot like that at Syston East.
Darren mate thank you for noticing my mistake, you are 100% right, and I have put a update on the video right up. it was so nice to go to a location with no overhead wires.
Excellent unimpeded shots Mike. Great little film. I know electrification is the way to go but it's nice to be able to see the trains without the wires. Well done 🤓 stay safe 💙
Great video Mike, nice selection of HST & stone trains. I think I've been to that spot at Syston East with you (& Pete and Paul) back in the late 1980s....I'll have to get my photos out to show when you when you next pop over for cake and a cuppa !
Afternoon Mike. Great seeing you out and about 🤣 Great location with no OLE 👍🏻 Those 47s just keep soldering on 😄 I’m off too Fareham this afternoon from Trafford park 🙄 Keep safe until the next video cheers Stevie 😎
Yes Stevie it does make a very nice change to have no metal about when filming. Thinking about it the metal is taking over more and more Stevie. Safe journeys on them roads. I went to London this afternoon. Mike.
antman09ful1 Mike I’m sorry. I need to use more words. I meant that a 5-car passenger trains looks like it doesn’t need two huge locomotives on it. I don’t know anything about it and am learning so sometimes I sound dumb. I have never been able to watch a passenger rail line here in rural Maine. I do enjoy your videos. I wish I could go trackside with you.
Good evening Thomas, I understand now what you are referring to. That was a new unit which was as I said going to Wolverton works it needs a loco each end to get into the works. From there it goes onto the WCML for mileage testing and fault finding. Regards Mike.
Fantastic locations Mike...
It’s a good one indeed Tom, no overhead wires in the way.

Yes Ian this was a terrible accident what happened today, Just been told the guard was also killed. Thank you for watching my footage. Mike
Nice long stretches of track to get some good long shots of the trains in full length.
Sure was good to go to a location with no overhead wires Bryan.
Once again Mike you never let us down. Great video. The HST's are still working well.
Yes they are David, and they should continue for another year I hope, thanks for your kind comment.
Great video

It sure is good without them metal and wires, keep safe yourself Anthony.
Glad those MML HSTs are still being used and i quite like the Ex LNER ones
Me too Rob, should be around to next year now.
antman09ful1 Wow Hopefully I’ll get some photos/videos
nice one
Thanks

I know what you are referring to but it’s on the same stretch of line but I’m sure it’s a different place, but I could be wrong mate.
As others have commented - great location for seeing the trains without catenary in the way :)
Many thanks Brian, but they are right. Mike.

Very nice compilation Mike, some lovely shots included 👍🏻
Cheers mate the 47s were the icing on the cake I think.
Nice Mix there Mike, and great location. Nice to see the trains rather than a mass of steel and wires
I agree Malcolm, it’s so nice not to think about all that metal on our railways when filming. Cheers Mike.
You've picked two good locations there Mike. Cheers.
Cheers David, not been there for a long time. Mike.
Brilliant yet again, thankyou
Thank you Mark for supporting my channel by watching my videos. Mike
Another brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)
it was great to be able to film with no overhead wires in the way. Thank you very much for your interest.
@@antman09ful1 your welcome, pleasure as always to watch your videos :)
Nice video :)
Thanks.
What was up with the LNER-branded vehicles in that first HST?
There isn’t any LNER branding on the EMTs Tom, just ex class 43.
@@antman09ful1 Ok it doesn't actually say 'LNER' on them but that's very clearly the LNER livery, are the vehicles on loan/transferred or something?
Yes they have been transferred Tom.
Some of the short passenger trains look like they have WAY too much locomotive.
Sorry Thomas I don’t get what you are referring to. But thank you for your interest in the video. Regards Mike.

antman09ful1 Got it! Thank you for your patience. The next time I see this, it will be under its own power! Nice.
has anyone actually seen someone 'tagging graffiti' on rolling stock, they must come out at night with torches
They must do, very dangerous mate.
