I take it you're back off your holiday now? Either way, this was a great clip with a nice tone! 😄
This was actually there first train of the holiday! But yes I’m back now, sadly. I’m going to be uploading new shorts from each section of the journey, everyday next week, which will take a while. I’ve still got to edit some clips from onboard the trains, but I should have them all up by the end of next week! Thanks for watching! 😀👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter oh right, I thought this might've been the first clip of you being BACK! 😂 I look forward to watching all those clips.. don't get too bored uploading them all! 🤣
@TrainGuy_2008 trust me, I will! 😂
She's absolutely beautiful.
Oh absolutely! Easily one of the prettiest mainline diesels in the UK. Thanks for watching! 👍
Great bit of filming, but the Woodhead Route should have become the country's foremost mainline heritage railway. It was there for grabs, complete with all lines, stations, bridges, tunnels, signal boxes. Above all, it connected two big cities. Every enthusiast in the country would have donated for such a project. There's still time, but now it would have to be rebuilt from scratch.
Thanks, It was a really good day out! Didn’t know about this Woodhead line, but you’ve peaked my curiosity. Will definitely need to read up on it! Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome. Still can't believe that I haven't yet visited the GC. Need to make that happen!
Absolutely, it’s a wonderful railway! Thanks for watching! 👍
LNER
Indeed!
That Western looks and sounds as good as ever!
Indeed she does! Thanks for watching! 👍
Never heard of The Severn Valley Railway etc etc etc?
The Severn Valley was a secondary route not a main line
I never said it was@@532bluepeter1
@@532bluepeter1 I never said otherwise.
@@rmarsh401So what was your point?
Good video. Could you explain the title of this video please, 'The Worlds only mainline heritage railway'.
Of course! The Great Central, unlike other heritage railways in the uk, is equipped with a section of double track (between Loughborough and Rothley), meaning that visitors have the rare opportunity to see heritage trains passing each other at speed. Due to the railway having that section of double track, it is technically classed as a mainline railway, and unlike any other heritage line, it has a maximum operating speed of 75 MPH, instead of the usual 25 MPH. The original line went as far south as London Marylebone, and as far north as Manchester Victoria before it was cut up during Dr. Beechings nationalisation programme in the 60s/70s. This is the only example of a mainline heritage railway on the planet, hence its nickname! Glad you enjoyed the video, it was definitely one of my favourites to film! Hope my answer was helpful! 👍👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter I have to admit I don't know a lot about GCR obviously so I am glad I asked. Thank you for explaining.
@rmarsh401 No problem! 👍
Very nice, like.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow good..beautifully 👍❤
Thank you! 👍
She sounded brilliant there! 😍
I know! What a machine, the power from that exhaust!
@@SouthernRailSpotter yeah, beastly things for sure! 😍
Awesome shots! I saw her in Junction but then I went to Chester for the 57+60 tour and stupidly forgot about this returning and didn't manage to film it. 🫤 Anyway, amazing catches as always mate - loved them!
I was going to head to Chester to see 57306, but I decided to head to the Race Course bridge where I saw 44871 this morning, but missed her by about 30 secs! Not the start I would have wanted, however I know that I am passing through LLJ at some point this week! I’m going into town to see the trams, but I’ll see if I can stop off at LLJ for a bit!
@@SouthernRailSpotter ah, did you not see the 57/60 tour then..? I saw her in the morning but then completely forgot about her returning and booked tickets back to Junction so I got two videos; steam leading and diesel leading.. which were good videos at least. We've got the Northern Belle on Saturday, so if you're nearby then - pop in and say hello; I'll be there! 😎😂
@@TrainGuy_2008 I don’t know, I might be visiting the Llangollen line on the Saturday. I know that I’m coming to Llandudno tomorrow to ride on the Tramway, but I don’t know when exactly. The Midland Pullman and The Statesman are also coming through LLJ this week. Are you not going to see them?
@@SouthernRailSpotter forgot to mention those tours! Yeah, I'll be seeing Midland Pullman tomorrow and Statesman on the return on Wednesday 👍 Enjoy your stay down this way; if/when you are in Llandudno Junction, let me know and if I'm nearby I might pop in.. if you don't mind of course! 👍
@@TrainGuy_2008 Of course I don’t mind! Been in town today on the Great Orme Tramway and am going to be on the 15:42 Transport for Wales service to Manchester Airport. I’m not going to be stopping off at LLJ, but I’m definitely passing through!
Great captures :)
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
nice video and good job
Thank You, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! I saw her at West Byfleet.
As I have seen! She was really putting down power along the down line, incredible noise! Sorry I’ve not had a chance to comment on your video yet. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SouthernRailSpotter You're welcome and thank you.
That railtour was amazing 👏
It definitely was!
@@SouthernRailSpotter I know right!
I've seen it at Upwey
Oh Cool! Was that on today’s tour, or something else?
@@SouthernRailSpotter today's!
@Harrys.trainadventures Awesome, will check out your video and subscribe!
Cheers!
@@Harrys.trainadventures No problem! she really opened up through the station in your video,what an incredible noise. A well earned subscription!
Who filmed this.. was this one you or was the other angle you?? 😂 Great shot.. couldn't help but notice the little wind wiper going crazy haha
This was filmed by brother, he sometimes helps out on shoots when I can’t film some of the shorts.
@@SouthernRailSpotter ah okay, cool! 🙂 Always good to have someone who can help you with spotting.. my brother sometimes films things for me but not very often
Nice capture
Thank you, did you catch her at West Byfleet?
@@SouthernRailSpotter Yes i did :). Will be seeing it at Woking this evening :)
@basictraincontent Oh awesome! Good luck! 👍👍
Great capture. I caught the Western at many different stations
Thanks! Just watched your video; It was a really odd route wasn’t it. Why didn’t she take the Canal Line up to Birmingham Newsreet via Leamington Spa? Anyways, some great shots there, keep up the good work!
That was AWESOME!!! She was travelling at a brilliant speed and she made a good bit of engine noise, what's not to love!? 👍👍
Definitely! I was bloody scared though; the speed she was travelling at was incredible, bearing in mind she had just left Oxford! Would have liked a bit more noise, but it was still awesome to see! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SouthernRailSpotter haha, I can see why you'd have been scared.. especially considering it didn't look that fast on those bends just before the station!! Yeah, suppose there could've been more noise but there could've been less so at least you got some! ;) It was brilliant as always - keep it up!
Awesome!!! I think that might've been an Ilkley too! Bet you're glad that 221 wasn't running late haha! 😂😂
I didn’t even know the 221 was approaching until I heard the announcement! It just appeared, so thank god it wasn’t late. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SouthernRailSpotter oh yikes! That's the best worst thing - a train just appearing out of nowhere, it can benefit you.. or it can ruin your video! 😬
@@TrainGuy_2008 So True! In this case however, it made the video far better!
@@SouthernRailSpotter yeah, thankfully! 😂
I can see that they have added the stuff for the blind and visually imparments
😢😢😢
Nice!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
It's a lovely colour.
Oh absolutely!
Thank you for the information.
Your welcome? What information did I give you, I’m genuinely confused! 😂
The location and the date. I always appreciate that.
When this was at NYMR, younger visitors thought it was diesel. Also they think any black steamer in reverse is a diesel, even though there never was any black diesels.
After this passed through, some people came through the crossing, who asked me, “was that a special DIESEL train?” Bear in mind these were adults, not kids. I don’t like it when people confuse the spam cams for diesels. They are far more beautiful the any diesel locomotive in this country.
Didn't think this ran anymore last time i seen it was shed up at Didcot
I believe I filmed this after the GWSR gala in 2019. I wish she was still running, she’s easily Didcots flagship engine, (apart from 2999 and 4079)!
@@SouthernRailSpotterI was doing research and found this engine King Edward II is currently waiting for its Overhaul since its boiler ticket expired in 2020 and I wasn’t able to find any other info on this. It’s twin King Edward I is currently undergoing an overhaul and its boiler ticket doesn’t expire till 2029 so it might be back soon but I didn’t see when this would be finished. Anyways nice shot, love the livery on this loco. Have a good day God bless
That 52 has been out and about a lot recently, light loco moves, railtours and this! Very interesting! Brilliant shot anyway mate!
Thanks! She was seen here returning for the Swanage Railway Diesel Gala, heading to Barrow Hill Roundhouse to drop of the 20s. 50021 ‘Rodney’ was due to be on the back, but I believed it was detached at Eastleigh. She’s not due to do anymore mainline tours until the 1st of June, so she’s got a bit of a break!
Brilliant video! Gotta love a good light loco move, especially at speed - and with a 60 on it!! Great shot and brilliant video! 👍
Thank you!
@@SouthernRailSpotter you're welcome!
Nice one😊
Thanks!
Best of British still looks good
It definitely does!
Lucky last time I was there I was in the cold rain for 2 hours
Been a while since I received a comments on this video! Sheffield park is easily the best Terminus (I guess) station in England. The 4MT wasn’t due to be running, and I’d travelled 4 hours from Oxfordshire, excepting to film Wightwick Hall for the day. Pity she failed that morning, but I do love a 4MT. Camelot and Fenchurch were also running on that day, which made it even better. Even though it was July, we got hale later in the day when I went to the Spa Valley Line to see there 33, which funnily enough had also failed 😂. Not the best day for heritage railways in the south-east!
The music really gives the vibes love this
Thanks! I’m personally very proud of it as a creator, and easily think it’s one of my best shorts. I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
The way they appear! Fantastic Video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Saw your recent video with 33012. Apologies I’ve not got around to commenting on it yet, but it was truly spectacular. I love 33s and 012 is easily my favourite. Thumbs up all round! 👍
@@SouthernRailSpotter No problem, no need to apologise for not commenting. Ive been busy with Epping Ongar Railway and also this week Im heading to Bluebell.
Oh, I forgot about the Branch line Gala. I wasn’t planning on going to it, as it’s mostly western locos running (I’m not a massive great western fan), but I’ll happily still watch the video! I’ve seen the Epping and Ongar video. If I had known Leander was visiting, I would have definitely gone. Me and her don’t have the best relationship, but she is still my favourite LMS jubilee!
@@SouthernRailSpotter The Leander farewell tour is happening 11th and 12th May. Im going to see the Leander at EOR on the 12th
Saw them at radley
Awesome! Did you get any tones?
Nowt better than a "Westerner" accelerating !! Thanks.
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Where is that
This shot was filmed at Toddington at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway! They own of a mixture of Western Stock, as well as a BR 4MT and this Merchant Navy Class. I believe it’s the 4th Merchant Navy to steam in preservation!
@@SouthernRailSpotter thanks mate
Your welcome!
Now that's a proper train!
Absolutely!
Driver experience day, common in the early and late parts of the year.
Fair enough, I didn’t consider that!
Love the whistle
Thank! I'm personally not a huge fan of western whistles, but this one was easily the best I've heard!
