    As a UK mainline freight driver, I thought I already had the best job in the world. But now I have a new ambition thanks to this video, to drive for LSL! Thanks so much for showing us all the wonderful things that go on there.

    This is a wonderful video of the work that LSL do, particularly thrilled to see a glimpse of D213 Andania, this loco was the one my Grandfather drove on his last shift before retiring from LMS in the late 60's. We recently came across a photograph taken at the end of that shift of him leaning out of the cab and LSL were kind enough to let my son and I visit Andania at Crewe when she returned from a Whistling Highlander tour to recreate the photograph to add to our family history. Forever grateful to all the folks at LSL who made that happen for us.

    Better even than a regular Green Signals episode, but best of all the amazing engineering work portrayed which is keeping all this British-built heritage alive so we can see it running on the mainline, whist training a new generation for the continuity of skills. Wishing every success to all those involved, thanks.

    Super thanks to the Green Signal Team for puttìng this video together, fab interviews, and explanations from everyone. One has to say the people working for LSL do a magnificent job. Being originally from the South, it's great to see the resplendent Brighton Bell in amonget all the other engines & components. Can't wait to see her running again. I was fortunate to catch a glimpse of the Blue Pulman running on the S&C a few years back. Looks magnificent. All the engines look fab. Well done, everyone, 😊

    I was surprised and absolutely delighted to find this on a rainy afternoon in Shropshire. I thought that the LSL tour was going to be part of this Thursday's offering. Brilliant documentary Richard and Nigel which illustrated what a national treasure LSL has become. The interview with Tony Bush was enthralling because he was explaining how they run the Company efficiently and professionally. If you cannot rely on your supply chain for goods or services then get rid of them and do it yourself. This is surely a lesson for the "big" railway if any of the existing TOCs actually want to produce first class reliability and customer service. Something for GBR to take away.
    Green Signals is brilliant and just gets better. I am going to have to become a member!

    Once the final Inter City 225 set is retired from the ECML these guys would be a perfect fit to refurbish a set to as built condition. The Class 91 Loco's although purchased from the then GEC had their body's and frames as well as most of the final assembly carried out at Crewe. Even if Crew Works doesn't make it to its bicentenary in 2043 hope these guys can keep some of that legacy.

    What a fantastic production! Great insight in to a polished business operation and a testament to the success of heritage railways in the UK. Brought back memories of the Blue Peter TV appeal that helped to save the Peppercorn A2 'Blue Peter' from the cutter's torch when I was a kid in Scotland. We have some great heritage rail operations here in Australia but nothing to match the scale of heritage railways in Britain. Then again, I would expect no less from the country that gave railways to the world. Well done Britain!

      @@GreenSignals It really is from what I have seen. It's like British Rail was, in being vertically integrated. Everyone is 100% dedicated because the company clearly understands 'why' it exists and everyone is bought into that. Long may they continue in their endeavours for us all to share in it. :)

    That was absolutely fantastic & definitely one of the best Green Signals videos so far - perhaps the other TOC's & the Government might like to take a look and see how a properly run Train Operator looks like and performs - LSL is blowing all the rest of them out of the water! It also reminded me of last week's podcast and the discussion over the perfect storm at Euston station - the very start of this video was Richard's voiceover and he mentioned Multiple Units.......by relying so heavily on these machines the railway network has completely lost it's ability to be flexible and to adapt to traffic situations that may necessitate an extra coach here or a relief train there.

    Excellent insight into LSL. I'm often at Crewe station trying to see any train movements or new arrivals inside the LSL depot area. Always wondered what it was actually like inside though, the bits that you never get to see no matter how much I zoom in. Very interesting to see behind the scenes in this video. Thanks for uploading.

    Good afternoon Nigel Richard and did a see Steph with you both on your jolly lol 😂 I’ve no words to describe how amazing that video was about LSL services was. We did the blue Pullman to Oban this year from Preston and I must say it was absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 Like you Nigel I spent many hours train spotting at Crewe and sneaking round Crewe sheds 👍🏻 Looking forward to Green signals Thursday 🤩

    I would love to see more charters and other specials running FROM Scotland to other destinations. Understandably the majority of trains originate in the south of the UK and a few run to Scottish destinations, but that involves travelling to/from London or eslewhere before/after.
