- Plenty of GWR action at Bishops Lydeard on the West Somerset Railway. And finally at Williton as the double headed train passes through en route to Minehead. It was particularly pleasant for me to meet personally several Admiralscorner watchers!
Magnificent Mike
Thank you!
Amazing rail movie! Awesome images with trains! Good work! Thumbs Up
Greetings from Dublin
Andrew
Many thanks Andrew!
Fantastic video Mike, thank you for your time to bring it to us. Great to see Clun Castle and the WSR locos and diesels thrown in the mix too.
Thgank you. It was quite a busy time!
Wonderful video lovely too see the special Mike. I am sure I saw you on the webcam at Bishops Lydeard filming. 😊
Thanks Joanne. Well spotted in all those crowds!
Great video,thanks,that sound of the train coming round the shed at about 30.00 brings back so many childhood memories,yes I still want to drive a steam train in my old age.
It is possible to do that these days if you pay for a group driving experience on the WSR which is held several times a year.
Oh Mike, What a moment for the battery to die !
Yes isn't life like that at times! So glad I was able to video the train passing through Williton!
Great to meet you in person after watching your videos for years. So many thanks from all your followers for the great videos you put out. Say Hi to Val I'm sorry I missed her. Many thanks again Admiral.
Thanks for your kind comments Dave and your valuable support over the years which Val and I so much appreciate.
Wow, such a pleasure to watch. Lovely to see such a good turnout too.
It was great just being there!
Great Mike. I am now happy to be on holiday here. We have spent today on the railway and have just enjoyed a Stogumber cream tea...amazing😊
Certainly one of the pleasures of the WSR!
Thank you so much Mike that was fantastic, I caught it as it passed Williton on the web cam and saw you sitting and filming, i bet you had a good day, great to see Kai he was just a little boy with his mum & dad last time we saw him at Minehead . Regards Clive
Yes that's how I remembered Kai, very keen and able but young. Now he has matured, and really sprung up in height! its so good to see he is still into trains and taking video.
Once again sir wonderful video kind regards to you both 😊
Many thanks Mike.
great video mike I remember seeing clun castle at temple meads station last year
That was a good setting for her
@@ADMIRALSCORNER yeah it was
A nice video from Bishops Lydeard Mike. Everything full of activity, what a nice experience captured so well as usual.
Thanks Al. Looking forward to seeing you very soon!
Very enjoyable video,very busy too.I like to see the youngsters train spotting.Not so many these days ,my son & godsons more interested in computers etc- they didn’t really notice trains when they were young. Lovely to see so many visitors at Bishops Lydeard. And pleased to see you recognised by Admiral’s Corner fans. I think I could smell the smoke & soot!!
Thanks Diana. I may have some traces on my clothing!
Thanks for such a good video Mike.
Very well put together as usual.
It was nice to meet you on Saturday and spend a while in your company at your vantage point on the bridge steps.
I see your battery let you down again at a crucial point, as you told me it quite often does 😮
Hello Peter. It was good to meet up with you at last. On a busy day like last Saturday it can be hard to know for sure how much power is left in a battery!
Ah, 7812 in tandem. Did a Footplate Experience on this loco a few years back (SVR). A truly awesome experience!
I bet that was memorable.
Yes I watched clun castle pass me at Worle station on her way down to this on Saturday! Along with 2 other diesal tour specials. 1 being the Cornish Mazey days! At Paignton…… Spent 3 joyful hours down at worle station on sat! Have u seen the videos Mike?
Not yet but will do next!
CLUN CASTLE BRINGS A MAINLINE SPECIAL INTO THE WSR
ADMIRALSCORNE LOVE LOUIS SHIRLEY
Brilliant video Mike
Thanks Raymond.
What's not to love about God's Wonderful Railway? Pannier Tank Engine, no. 7754, has emerged from the engine shed at Llangollen. She's had her test run, and will be back in action next weekend. I'll get my ride behind her further down the railway line.
That is good to look forward to Kelly.
Mike, your videography is so classy that you even zoomed in to the connecting Buses of Somerset bus, showing a lady alighting. I used that route last year.
I never doubted you'd bring us the 'Clun' day with your usual aplomb.
Great to see many at BL for the first down. The first up stopping in the less frequently used Pl.1 at BL wasn't especially 'long', at only six cars: platform is shorter than the normally used Pl.2.
What a beautifully composed sequence at Williton of the up VT special.
I assume the parcel/guard's van (coach) and support coach were detached at BL to ensure the remaining eight cars plus two locos could fit in the main platform at Minehead?
Thanks for the compliments Edmund. It was a tiring day but so rewarding! The disconnections from the original train were I expect because the contents could well have been needed to service the locos staying at BL. The platform at Minehead is quite a long one.
@@ADMIRALSCORNER With the video having enjoyed more than 5,000 views by 5 July 2023, it shows the popularity of GWR 'Castle' locos. Well done.
@@edmundcarew7235 GWR. God's Wonderful Railway!
@@ADMIRALSCORNER Viewing has risen by another 50 per cent to 7350. One of the Admiral's best efforts for 2023, but four and a half months to go. Keep up the good work.
Hey can I use this footage
