I love to hear the sound of steam at work even if it means slower travel. So hats off to the diesel driver who allowed Britannia to show off her sound qualities.
Absolutely & amazing video of 70000 Britannia in action on the Great Eastern 👍👍 I was wondering what was on Britannia as it looked like it was a bit of wire from the overhead was on the top. Good thing there wasn’t any damage to the loco on that part of the tour. Oh, do you know that Britannia is visiting Robertbridge this coming weekend for the K&ESR 50th anniversary event? I can’t wait to see the loco there this weekend.
I was just too late for steam on Stratford as by the early 60's it had gone fully dieselised, however, I once did see a Britainia at Liverpool Street in immaculate condition of course!
VIEW FROM THE FOOTBRIDGE A road with a wall on one side of it running against the railway, with a 20 MPH Speed Limit and Road-humps. Sheer idiocy..... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England

Another magnificent presentation of this wonderful and precious. Locomotive. Many thanks for your sterling efforts in bringing this to us on YT.
05:43 That is beautiful to see, the whole train racing along, with a lovely clean fire...and no assistance from the Duff at the back.
A liked the salute from the freight train.
That's a Great Sound
I loved the way diesel talked to steam. Priceless.
Excellent footage 👍
fantastic opening scene

The irony is that the 'modern traction' , at the back, the Brush 4, is little more than a decade younger than the Brit.
TRULLY AMAZING SITE

So is this the new traction units that are being tested for implementation on British railways?
