- The second part of our cab ride aboard 5199, a Class 5101 Large Prairie of the Great Western Railway from Llangollen to Corwen East. In this part we continue the journey from Glyndyfrdwy to the terminus at Corwen East, before reversing to Carrogg and running around the carriages. Our five cameras give an excellent view of the action, and there's full commentary throughout to let you know where we are, and what's going on. Please subscribe and we'll keep you in touch with new productions.
You can find a full list of our DVD and Bluray Cab Rides with the option of turning off commentary on our website at bit.ly/3q9kyZ6
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Relaxing and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great ... PT2 just as good as PT1 .... Don't worry about the pronunciation, as we all know what you mean. Just a Note for the history books ... I helped lay the first piece of track !!
Dilwyn. Wow! That is a real claim to fame. Impressive. I remember that really smooth length at Llangollen. I guess it must have been that one :-) Thanks for the kindness - both in the praise and the acceptance of a foreigner mangling a really important part of your heritage. Sori!
@@cabrides So glad you have uploaded these amazing videos. I will now have to get into the attic and try to find the photos of that day!!
An excellent showcase of the railway, very enjoyable to watch. Even as a fairly regular visitor to the line, there were some things which I did not know!
Thanks Pannier Prairie. It's nice to manage to produce a surprise or two :-)
Not been here for years,we'll have to have another visit soon!
Recommended. Lovely people, and the pub across the road was excellent.
Loved it, great video. Hopefully you'll be doing something on my favourite railway, the Great Central Line at Loughborough and Nottingham
Glad you enjoyed it. No promises. Just need to be let back into the outside world first to be able to continue. But there's quite a lot already made and we'll be releasing them over the course of the next few months.
Great video. Thank you for this journey!!!
Greetings from Brazil : D
Another fantastic video, definitely makes me want to visit one day after all this is over
It's a highly recommended trip - and the people are so nice!
@@cabrides that's always good to hear, hopefully I'll be able to visit there soon
Fantastic video , though last night I heard some sad news that the Llangollen railway has gone into administration , mainly due to the impact of recent events just hope it pulls through
Really sorry to hear that. Hope there can be a future for them. Nice bunch of people.
Extremely well narrated and largely good vision though the five cameras failed to show the stick (signal) at the up end of Carrog changing to proceed so the loco could attach (not 'connect') to the cars. It looked to be a five car train.
As UK has the best preserved railway scene worldwide - well done - and from Australia I've only covered three preserved rail lines (though have done heaps of 'regular' main and branch lines, including the two offshore islands). this one is 'on my list' with your video reminding us to make a donation. Sad to hear of financial troubles but apparently building new locos drained funds while not contributing a penny to revenue.
The cameras made the train appear to be travelling much faster than what I gather in UK is typically a maximum allowable speed of 40kmh on preserved railways. (Sorry, we metricated in 1973 so talk of 'mph' has long gone by the wayside in the convict colony). Thank you again for such a great video: you have a good 'radio voice'.
Hi Edmund
Great to hear from Australia! Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for the corrections - they're always welcome.
The cameras have different focal lengths, so the speed may appear different between them.
As for the radio voice - many say it goes with the radio face :-0
Don sent me.
He does that :-) Welcome!
