Great video - and a very belated thank you from me too as I've only just found it - I was the charterer! In spite of the weather it was a great day, so many people "went the extra mile" particularly as the loco had a bit of a mishap only the day before. I hope the train carries on with its new owners, incredible that the 1890 LNWR Dining Car can still run on the network. The ED on the back was needed as a barrier vehicle to protect the Observation Car, as well as shunting. Thanks again!
Thank you for writing, it's always nice when someone who was on, or connected with, the train adds some background detail to what I've written. If we had known that the stop at Folkestone West was going to be more than just a water stop, and that the train would stand there for all of its booked time and not leave early, we would have called in there and would probably have got some shots of you in action.
Thanks! I thought some people might feel that the tunnel shot was a bit long but I didn't want to lose the train entering the other end and I couldn't cut the middle bit out so I left it long.
What a great video!! shame about the piece of c**p on the tail of her. it seems to demean her. it's a shame that the turn around cant be sorted another way. still a great vid; though.

Fantastic video, the last scene of Tangmere emerging from Saltwood tunnel is awesome.
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
