Review: 2023

Well, it's that time of the year again: another review of mainline and heritage steam in the UK.
As with previous editions in the past, this nearly two-hour video is a compilation of all the recordings of British steam - heritage and mainline - that I captured over the course of the year. Included in mainline steam recordings is unseen footage that I also captured but didn't include, and the heritage railway/centre visits have been condensed so as not to make the run time too long.
Overall, it's been another solid year for steam traction in the UK, and hopefully, 2024 will continue the trend.
