Brillaint video! I saw her at Cuffley.

That first shot were you were bowled

No loco at the end of the train

Very good

Man, ptfs really changed after 4 years!

Fascinating, thanks for posting.

I grew up riding the Class 206 Tadpoles (same class 201 engine car as these) then x1 201 car and x1EPB passenger car. I have to say if I went on one this heritage set up now I'd be gutted if i got put in one of those 2 middle more modern carriages! Is it speed rated on the mainline? it used to hammer along the Reading-Tonbridge line when i was a kid!

Fantastic video 🙂. This is certainly quite the excellent shot indeed, I have certainly got to say 🙂. I do hope your visit over in London Euston went well for you and much like yourself I too an a rail enthusiast aswell, to tell you of things. All the best to you my good new friend and good luck with the future success of your rail enthusiast trainspotting well, I can see you are quite successful already with it and I hope your success continues 🙂. All the best Fin 👍. From your new friend/follower Foxpit 'Foxy' Mayo in Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK xoxoxoxoxoxox 👍👍👍👍👍.

This is now Beechley to Whitefield

myself spotted

Great video! I've subscribed!

I grew up in Dorking (born 1972) with the Reading-Tonbridge line running behind my house so the sound of the 206 Tadpole Units was as familiar as bread and butter. Such a wonderful sound. I think when I was very little I found standing on the platform next to the engine room quite scary! I travelled on them right up until they were replaced by the Class 117 DMUs in about 1979-1980. We used to travel to Gomshall quite a lot as kids to see Grandparents and when we heading home they used to thunder down the hill from Guildford direction and I still have a clear memory of how they rocked side to side on the tracks as they went over the pedestrian crossing (Gomshall has a staggered platform). I always thought the black triangle was the train sticking its tongue out at me lol! VERY occasionally an Oxted 207 would show its slimmer face on that line which was always exciting! Thanks for this - wonderful high quality footage!

phwor, what a fantastic video !

Amazing work Fin Holt keep up the good work!

Lovely footage, looks like one of the front windows is smashed

Great video with all the shots and locations. It was great to see your perspectives from Castle Bar Park (whilst I was at Drayton Green) and South Ruislip when I filmed 1001 passing through all the way from West Ruislip. I greatly apologise for getting your way at South Greenford 🤦‍♂️ I really didn't help you there

11:33 eurostar glitched

Is there a timetable for them?

I was on that

Great video! I also had fun chasing this today.

Great capture. I caught the Thumper at Aylesbury

Cracking video lad hope you liked the thrash and tones!

Great video! I saw this at Denham Golf Club.

Something that I envy you folks in Great Britain about, is how easily you can get a heritage locomotive out on an excursion, compared to here in the US. All the regulatory, corporate, insurance and financial hoops an organization has to go through requires darn near a year, just to get permission to run an excursion. Then you have the logistics of an excursion. By the time the owner of a heritage locomotive can put that together, money for the excursion is getting tight, so ticket prices go sky high. And, to boot, you have to find a branch line because of corporate imposed constraints on the main lines. Granted that we have tourist lines, and a couple of railroads that run "historic fleets," but their excursions are few and far between. As I said, I envy you. 😢😢😢

quality video!

The class 86's in the InterCity livery beautiful ❤. Great to see the classes in action those were the days of travelling by train awesome great video thank you 😊😊

I love the old southern region trans they had so much character it's nice to see them running on special services 😊😊

I was out for those on the day i spotted them at kings langley!

saw myself a few times in this video for 86101, its a really good loco absolutely loved seeing it! also nice video!

That's a 350 at 0:25? How fast was it going?

When I worked at Rugby Borough Council I could look out of my office window and watch the 86s and 87s, sometimes two locks but mainly with DVT going past my office window.

I'm glad you saved the best for the end. It was worth every minute watching the rest of the video just to see her show up to close it out! To me, that made the video. (Kind of gives you a clue to my age, doesn't it) 😂

I was on the train with 86259 and 86401. 86 haulage both ways and a Liverpool win. Can't ask for much more.

Why dosent anyone hang out the windows

Apparently it broke the OHLE at South Parkway so AWC trains diverted through Huyton Extraordinary + thank god they electrified the chat moss line

on my birthday

Great video! I've subscribed!

Great catches. Good to see 'leccys getting a run. Black five finale was brilliant even if very sedate, lol 🤣 👍👍👍👍👍

hi there, great to see the 86s back where they belong instead of those confounded pendolinos which we never asked for in the first place ! wish we could have 86s back on the GER,

Lovely. Thanks.

Just like GEML a few years ago!

That must have been a pretty expensive private charter, to arrange a path into Euston. Something to do with HS2, perhaps

What a strange world. It’s taken me 60 years to get to love the 86s, but they have got there.

Nice

What's the score with the extra power car on the "Slim Jim"?

A team of people with one ready at every station? Or one person making a mad dash between them? Good video!

And then they 'invented' the third rail...😊

I grew up 300 yards from HG depot road entrance and used to do HG regularly, often in school uniform at lunchtime. Mid seventies. Foreman would always say it was ok to walk round , but come and see me when you’re off, lads. Cromptons and Ed’s everywhere and four 71s after withdrawal too. Used to lie in bed and hear twelve car Hastings units blasting through the station, three separate lots of exhaust noise, as the middle two combined. Mgr trains going down the dartford loop used to make my bedside light rock gently by the time the last few wagons were rolling by. I used to wonder if the house would fall down if the trains were double the standard 43 hoppers(47 piloting a 45) Good times. And every train to London, either from Lee or HG was an EPB. Or a HAP.

Nice 1001 dmu I love the engine sounds ad they just remind me of a class 20 chopper! Nice video of this beast of a dmu 🥰😍🤩

As it's slam door stock, are they now fitted with electronic door locking?
