Does this mean proper engines are coming back to the trains. I remember reading that engineers - in Hungary I think but that might be wrong - were working on making steam engines more environmentally friendly with the aim of replacing diesels with them but can't remember where I read it now. I was hoping they would succeed and it would be great if once again proper engines were back on the railway lines full time. (think they were experimenting with wood pellets or something, certainly it was to do with wood and was the offcuts from saw mills/building trade)
I wasn't talking in general, I was talking in the way that I myself have not seen Britannia before so was a first for me but please any advice is kindly considered if you have any. Thanks for watching
@@GreatEasternMainlineSpots The video is absolutely spot on, can’t fault it - I used to live across the road from a man who a regular fireman on Britannia’s when they were the main ‘express locos’ on the GE, hence my thinking.
@andrewbrown6786 Thanks for the kind comment, that is certainly some interesting information what a pleasure it would have been to work these masterpieces
Thanks for the comment, the diesel Locomotive is at the end of the train so it can provide heating and electricity to the coaches also if the steam train breaks down or needs a push up a incline
@@GreatEasternMainlineSpotsAlso, the diesel is needed in case Britannia fails AND in case it goes somewhere without a facility to turn round such as at Norwich Crown Point or Manningtree Triangle
@@GreatEasternMainlineSpots sorry, I stand corrected on the failure bit. I’ve seen the diesel used to help turn the trains round at Norwich via Crown Point and Trowse Swing Bridge. Also similar to trains that used to start from Manningtree or Ipswich going north. All of a sudden, I’m starting to feel my age 🥴

No, It doesn't mean that. This was just a enthusiast rail excursion.
Given the Great Eastern was Britannia’s regular routes under steam - how is this a ‘debut’? 😉🤔

Beautiful Machine…probably network rail enforcement.. I don’t like it when they are being pushed by a diesel…
