Great Central Railway - Betwixtmas - 27th December 2024
Between Christmas and New Year the Great Central Railway runs its Christmas service that it markets as Betwixtmas. Its a chance to escape out of the house and ride behind steam again. Unfortunatley only one, BR standard 5 73156 was in steam, but joined by the BR blue class 101/117 hybrid DMU.

What camera do you use? The technical quality of the picture and sound is outstanding.

@geoffj5241 I've stopped using my main camera for video and use mainly now my mobile, which is a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra that records in 8K. It does use the battery, but I rarely go out now without a battery pack.
