- Footage of 60103 Flying Scotsman working from Oxenhope, on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, to Carlisle and return, 31 March 2017. Locations are Oakworth (with a lineside pass), Gargrave, Selside, Rise Hill, Eden Brows, Kirkby Stephen, Bullgill, and Keighley. Ex-WD 2-8-0 90733 (banked by class 37, 37075) worked the final leg of the journey up the Worth Valley.
I love that high whistle. It drives away the grey, injects some cheer, and makes one hopeful.
Flying Scotsman's 95! It's incredible that this dear old lady of an engine can take on the stiffest sustained gradients of any line in Britain, such as are found on the Settle and Carlisle railway - and all this with an 11 coach load and no backing locomotive for that part of the run! We're all proud of her - and of those who fought to keep the line open. Not forgetting the people who built this man-made wonder of Northern England, too...
Outstanding footage covering the event well at great locations along the line. Regards JamesandPeter
Thank you very much James and Peter - much appreciated!
Saw the Scotsman fail to stop on iced over rails at Durham station she shot clear of the platforms before stopping.
A superb overview of the S & C reopening day from some excellent locations. Most enjoyable video footage of the occasion and of Flying Scotsman. Regards - Allan.
Thank you very much Allan - much appreciated. It was a long but enjoyable day!
That is not how he is supposed to sound! It's good to know that he's doing much better now. Stay safe Scott.
Many thanks to Michael Portillo who saved this line from extinction.
Superb video Divid. Outstanding coverage of this historic event. Fantastic location capturing the Flying Scotsman working well. Thoroughly enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Thank you very much as ever C&A - greatly appreciated!
Well done David - a superb set of shots at so many locations - a wonderful record of this historic occasion.
Thank you very much Julian - much appreciated, and grand to have the line open again!
Good to see The Last A3 Where she belongs in NRM Hands
Once again outstanding cinematography of iconic steam locomotives doing what they do best in the english countryside.
Amazing work !
Thank you very much - very kind of you and much appreciated!
Outstanding video, that must have taken so much planning, Thank you for sharing, David, Tunbridge Wells.
Thank you very much indeed David and apologies for the slow reply. It was a good long day, with a bit of planning in the pub beforehand!
Thanks again, David.
Excellent coverage of the day David, wonderful to have the S & C back again
Many thanks Austin - it certainly is - there's no line quite like it!
A fantastic well put together film, you covered the whole days events perfectly, congrats.
Thank you very much - greatly appreciated!
Lovely. Evocative, beautiful and thrilling.
Thank you very much Brian!
Your camerawork is by far the best I've seen on this subject. Elegant shooting with excellent framing and just enough camera movement to make the content interesting. Well done - very watchable! Alan (retired professional cameraman).
Alan McNeal Thank you very much indeed Alan - I appreciate all feedback but it's always gratifying to receive such praise from a professional. It's also great when the approach I try to take is noted and summed up so nicely. Thanks again and best wishes for the festive season, David.
Great video coverage of Scotsman on the S&C re-opening. Well covered, lots of good locations. thanks for sharing, Geraint
Thank you very much Geraint - it was a good day, just a little too much petrol burned! Thanks again, David.
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Grey Esteban instablaster :)
@Vincent Miller I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Vincent Miller It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Excellent as ever David and Peter , the best coverage by far and I should have been at Risehill myself but daftly changed my mind ( not many trees left ).
Thank you very much indeed Steve, very kind of you and much appreciated. Rise Hill was a last minute decision and with the traffic, I was rather short on time on getting out of the car. It was terribly windy too (hence the wide angle approach) but seemed to just about come off - and yes not many trees left now, rather barren but some good long views. I still think you made the right call with Eden Brows - unique footage of a real one-off! Many thanks, David.
Great use of multiple camera angles to tell a story. What a fantastic sight at the end from the Wd & 37.
Thank you very much Andrei - yes we enjoyed the WD and 37 heading off at the end, although were getting a little tired by then!
Epic and superb.
Cheers,
Alan
Thank you very much Alan - thankfully the day seemed to come together well in the end!
Comprehensive and enjoyable coverage of a fine day out David. I guess a lot of planning went into that little lot and I hope you got all that you wished for. Thank goodness the line is open again. Take care - Chris
Many thanks Chris - it was a long day and everything pretty much came together, thankfully! I was surprised that the bridge at Eden Brows didn't attract more - there was only 5 of us there. Here's to a long (but not too dry!) summer!
Well done Sir. Brilliant video.
Many thanks Christoper - much appreciated! Best wishes, David.
Excellent capture of light, selection of camera position, of content, so well done. Makes me want to burn my camera.
Damn! I love the engine. but that whistle is pure EARRAPE!
Excellent a wonderful train
Many thanks, it was a great day for the engine and railway.
Excellent sequences and editing, David - really telling a story, which ticks all the boxes for me, thanks. Oh yes, and your characteristic local interest shots. The only slight disappointment was the presence of the diesel at the end but more than compensated by your capture of the superb smoke colouring of 90733. Best regards, Bob K
Thank you very much Bob - much appreciated. Yes I quite agree, it seemed a shame to have the 37 close the day, but an interesting working nonetheless.
And to think, only a dozen or so years ago there was talk of closing the line for good and a landslide like this would have been the ideal opportunity. Today it is pleasing to see how some stretches have been so thoughtfully rebuilt.
Indeed it would John - thank goodness fate was on its side, and I quite agree.
There were some fine shots there.
Many thanks - it was a grand day out.
Great video thanks for posting it
Many thanks Rudy, much appreciated!
@@Linesider1 do you know were 4472 is now? I know she’s being stored somewhere offsite but were? The East Lancashier Railway?
Yes she's currently at Carnforth (the West Coast Railway Company sheds/site), ahead of some planned tours in December over the Settle & Carlisle and Shap.
@@Linesider1 Thanks I am one of her fans here in the USA
@@rudycarlson8245 No problem, she's a fantastic loco and we just hope that she will be running again this year.
What a beautiful Train! and before you reply the loco is nice also!
Ha ha very funny! It's all about the locomotive man! As for that tin pea whistle, it's gone, and good riddance!!!!
Beautiful locomotive; pathetic whistle! Superb videography as always.
Many thanks Thomas, much appreciated.
Yes it was well worth saving
Thanks for that David. It really was a great day; history in the making. I went up to Eden Brows on the Wednesday before. They were running driver famils. in 124's. Fantastic engineering but a shame "the bridge" was made from Chinese Steel! There is a GPS monitor there that apparently monitors movement of the line to 1,000th of an inch!
On Friday we were at Dandry Mire on the Hawes Branch Line & on 122a Grisedale Bridge in the evening. Weather held off ok as well! Had been lashing down all week!
BTW, I was having a cup of tea with the signalman at Garsdale on Sunday & he told me he is extended to 2021. Hope The Box lasts that long, it's looking a bit "poorly" these days!
Anyway David, thanks again and all the best. Nick.
Thank you very much Nick - that's really interesting. I'll have to take a closer look sometime. Hope you got some good views around Garsdale, and good news about the box's life being extended - it won't be the same when they close, and that particular box does need a lick of paint! Thanks again, David.
Let that whistle blow!
Full open!
Nice to see the line open again, I was at Smardale.
Indeed it is Peter - hope you got on well there, a lovely part of the line.
Extra!
I concur with everyone else. Beautiful video. But hey, why was Scott rattling like that?
Excellent, just wished I could taken to time of work. To me, the Scotsman looks well in Brunswick green, much better than the LNER Apple green
Many thanks Vince. I must say she looks very smart in Brunswick Green!

Thanks David, you certainly got some good coverage. Did you cope with the crowds ok?
Many thanks Tony - it was a long but enjoyable day. The crowds were ok at the locations we chose, having most of them to ourselves, or just a few discerning folk. The nightmare, however, was Bullgill, where a gaggle of loud locals made as much noise as they could, commenting all the way up the straight. Placing the mic as far away from them as possible saved the day!
She looked sooooo much better when Sirs Pegler and McAlpine owned her.
great train shame about the german deflectors and the stupid whistle
Many thanks Brian. I thought she looked very smart, but do prefer the apple green single chimney look personally.
they must think its a race horse by putting blinkers on it spoiling its appearance and its got a terrible number to go with it. I thought it was supposed to be heritage. They have spoilt a lovely engine
The smoke deflectors are there for safety reasons.To stop the train crew''s vision from being obstructed by steam and smoke. If the engine went by a stop signal because it wasn't seen because of drifting steam and smoke,there could be a serious incident or accident with potential for loss of life. If this were to happen,there is a possibility of ALL steam runs being stopped by NWR,perhaps permanently.
Shame they gave it the wrong number and colour 😢🤷🏼♂️ it was most famous in APPLE GREEN! I sat on my dads shoulders and saw her go past Hatfield on her last day of service in the RIGHT MARKINGS and colour. Nice to see her back but PLEASE put her back to her proper colour and number. 1924 she was numbered 4472 LNER markings and APPLE green......and lose that awful whistle and smoke deflectors, it looks like some foreign thing 😡
looks ugly with all that rubbish on its nose.no gwr loco's that have double chimneys have all that jerry garbage also don't have smoke problems scot must be poor design
