You are absolutely right about the clarity- better than most, but I loathe those see it, sorted messages and being told to take care because it is snowing as if no one had noticed.
@@MervynPartin Indeed. Sorted into what order, or into which categories? Some people and organisations even today do not understand what 'sorted' means.
A pleasure to watch this footage - the very same evening - in the comfort of a warm home in Cheshire. Thanks for venturing out into the gathering blizzard.
Excellent selection of trains and very nicely captured and uploaded. You must have been frozen getting this video but it was worth it (for us viewers at home). The Pullman looks great.
Wow! Well done, braving the elements. Makes me feel rather old and feeble for not doing likewise, but it sounds like we're going to get a few more days of it. Totally agree with the comment by Vincent, best platform announcer I've heard in a while.
Nice, spectacular snowfall. I guess we were lucky in Portsmouth as we only got cold 🌧 rain. As we have 3rd rail, we get spectacular results when it snows so I hope we get some. Anyway, great video. 👍
As a retired civil servant I find these films incredibly interesting and extremely relaxing..To see a vibrant healthy, well-used railway system is another great indicator of the state of a nations economy. (Along with the number of white vans buzzing about) well IMHO.
@Michael Wells no, just an honest observation. Most UK public don't get to see how hard our railways work carrying freight. Its just a pity even more doesn't go by rail . Electrification of our railways is surely far better for the environment than HGVs, too
Unfortunately not long ago TFN said 90% of freight in the north goes by road, since the running of block trains a lot of yards etc have fell into disrepair or sold off for development. The freight side of the railway couldn’t handle a big increase in demand, privatisation has seen a big increase in train weights but a lot of job cuts.
You're mad for filming in the snow 🥶😁😉 - no, but another great video. Lovely to see the Midland Pullman powercars back out again after time in the shed - they've got an intense schedule in the next fortnight!.
Thanks for going out in the snow to take this video , very enjoyable .
Thanks Kenneth - Glad to be able to get a few shots ❄️👍
That one of the clearest PA systems I've heard at a station. The announcers accent is perfect for the task.
I’ve just listened back to the video - Definitely clear and concise! 👌👍

There’s a little bit of snow here in Dublin over the mountains, but the towns don’t seem affected, just plenty of rain.
Very nice mate!

Lovely catches, the snow makes everything stand out so much!
Thanks Nate.. Well worth capturing a few units for a change also 😜👍
@@trainsplanes indeed, I expect you’ll be out on Saturday
@Nate I’ll be doing something on Saturday - Not sure what yet though.
A great winter-time video of one of the most finest railway locations in Great Britain!
Glad you enjoyed it! Stafford always has something going on usually 👍❄️
Really nice video with some great photography.

Yes - It was getting very cold! 🥶 ⛄️

Thanks - Strangely I’ve never really noticed the PA’s voice versus other stations. I’ll listen more closely next time. 🙈🤣
Do enjoy your videos, watching from a warm and sunny Malta.
Thanks Peter - Enjoy the sun ☀️👍
Excellent video in winter conditions
Thanks - Good to here you liked it 👍
Superb service Sir, thank you!
You’re welcome! 👍
Nice, spectacular snowfall. I guess we were lucky in Portsmouth as we only got cold 🌧 rain. As we have 3rd rail, we get spectacular results when it snows so I hope we get some. Anyway, great video. 👍
Thanks - Fingers crossed you get a blast of weather for some similar shots also 🙏🤞
Another brilliant video my friend. With all that snow it must have been cold enough to freeze your wotsits off 😉
Thank you - It was pretty baltic with the wind chill ❄️⛄️
Great catches in the snow! Mustn't have missed you by long?? I got there about 11.30 and stopped till 5. Not snowing then though
Thanks - I left around 11:00 as it was stopping then and I was pretty wet/cold…! 🥶 ⛄️
Well done. Hope you didn’t lose any fingers with frost bite catching these. 😊
I heard the prredicted snow for parts of the Midlands on the radio when I woke this morning. They weren't wrong!
It made for some very nice scenes - Glad I went now 👌👍
Great video👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Love it ❤❤❤❤
Glad that’s the case 🙏👍
Someone was keen!
The enthusiasm wore off as the temperature dropped..! 🤣🥶
1:42 favourite train of this video
Very nice that one 👍

Thanks Paul - They do have a busy period ahead. Hopefully plenty of opportunities to catch them working 👍
Brave man , 3 degrees at best. Hope you had a decent flask of coffee, soup or several with you.
Soup did indeed do the job thankfully! 👍
I wonder if you ever see my dad there ! BTW, no A in Foundry 😉
Thanks Ian.. Spelling was never was or is my greatest asset..! 🙈😫
@@trainsplanes No problem. Keep up the good work.
Great footage on very snowy conditions ! The 57 DRS was that just left idling all day for emergencies incase electric power failure happens ?
It left at lunchtime but was sat ready to go whilst I was there in the morning. 👍
@@trainsplanes the class 57 sounds very similar when on idle to class 43 ?
Sure was ... snowy .. I was there for 0Z90, 0Z25 and 4L90 ..
Well done 👍
@@trainsplanes you too 😀
what was the restricted line speed at this location ? Seemed that trains were not at full service speed !
avanti in Italian means travel or go like engines
Still odd to see a 125 without yellow on the front…!
Do you have a Flickr? Sorry if I’ve asked before
I don’t I’m afraid.. Just post on here 👍
