Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway RHDR - Driver Experience POV Part 2 Hythe to New Romney 4K

An onboard shot of what it looks like to be a Romney Hythe and Dymchurch driver. This stretch was from New Romney to Dungeness for lunch. There is lots of single-track running, up to 20mph.
The locomotive for the day was No. 2 Northern Chief, and was very pleasant to drive, made lots of steam, and generally was quite forgiving.
Please note: I'm not a professional driver!! And apologies for my coat covering the camera occasionally - the wind was blowing it across me unfortunately, and it was far too cold without a coat!
A special thank you goes to Alex, my driver trainer for the day, for his patience and putting up with my nonsense for half the day (you hear plenty of that), and our guard for the day, Alan, who certainly knows how to entertain and make people feel welcome.
If you read all this and liked it, check out Part 1, where I take the train from New Romney to Dungeness for lunch.
Filmed on a GoPro Hero 10 Black.

A beautiful route with magnificent locomotives! It's very enjoyable to see from your perspective how you try to maintain control over the locomotive, and it's clear that you must remain sharp at all times, monitoring both your fire and water levels as well as keeping an eye on the track. Again, it's a very enjoyable perspective; there are only a few on TH-cam who produce such lengthy videos with good audio and video quality! 🚂

Thank you! It’s a very busy day driving and being a fireman (and in my case learning the route!) I’m hoping to release some more footage like this in the future.
