Interesting section of the West Coast Main Line. I could only wish that it was being filmed from a steam locomotive rather than a diesel, but one man’s meat is another man’s poison!!
It was striking that in half an hour traveling north on such a major route we didn't encounter a single southbound train. (Except for the oil train parked in the loop.) Is this normal?
Enjoyable and familiar trip. Excellent. 👍 For future reference , it's Golborne (common mistake).
That showed the Pendolino or whatever it was! It was slowing to a stop, but even so! Thanks for the thrills.
Glad you enjoyed it!
There was a bridge carrying the Wigan bypass line years ago, don’t know where it was
Great! Saw myself at Wigan! Thanks for uploading this, great video!
No worries!
Photobombers. lol
Great stuff, looking forward to the next episode.
More to come!
Excellent vid, if you pause at 23:00 you can see me crouched down getting a shot!
Real loco noises. Excellent stuff
Great keep em coming cheer's bob.
More to come!
I saw this at Hest Bank!
Great video and that's me hiding in the bushes with my camera at 30:51 ;)
spotted!
Hi, great learning video, where is part two and three, looking forward to viewing them. Thanks
I assume this was a light engine because the acceleration through Crew station was incredible.
It certainly was. 47593 to be exact.
Awesome 👌
Brilliant thank you!
You're very welcome!
Nice to see a cab-ride that isn't a rip of Don Coffey or Ben Elias! Liked and Sub'd.

very unusual for a 47 to pass Winwick without a gaggle of Togs on the Bridge, you must have sneaked through ....lol :D
Err, sorry but what or who are Togs?
@@exileinderby51 Togs were Terry’s old geezers when Wogan was on radio 2
My dad used to take me to that bridge at winwick in the 1960 s
A BIG thank you just loved that! going sooo fast for a change! just asking how fast was that? was it the 110 that was on the side? part 2 yes please!
No. It was at 75 mph. Which is the maximum permitted speed for a loco on its own.

6:08 Hello Geoff. Southbund Pendolino. Also the oil train was actually cement.
@@RailMart Thanks. But even so, just one (moving) train on the Up? Curious....
How do the signalling system work? Is it all those bells and whistles that I’m hearing?
Attractive station!!
Looks just like OHIO except no electric wire choo choo. Just LOUD diesels that I can hear for many miles...
Beautifully clear day. Are we diesel or electric?
Diesel Class 47.
