- No. 70000 'Britannia' makes for a fine spectacle charging through Chippenham, Wiltshire at speed with 13 coaches. The train was the return working of the Cathedrals Express from Rainham to Bath & Bristol.1st December 2011
One of the most impressive shots I've ever seen! Superb!
Fantastic glint and plume!!
what a really good video and what a whistle.top marks.
Superb video, really atmospheric.
Tremendous ..... I have never considered night video but having seen this has inspired me to give it a try !!! 10/10 !!
Great sound and atmosphere thanks for sharing

I keep coming back to this video Ben, it's perfect, I think you got your location spot on, you captured the whistle and the impression of the speed of the train really well, as you've said in another comment, i you'd been closer to the station the video would have been shorter and there would have been less of an impact.
Cheers,
Andy
Fantastic Vid Ben.
Nice one, thanks for sharing
Fantastic sound, great shot.
A great piece of footage from a very difficult position...well done sir!
Superb - in my humble opinion.
Absolutely fantastic shot - can't fault it.
Nice clip Ben. I like filming steam storming through station at night, just adds to the atmosphere. Keith
Fantastic
A brilliant video! Looks like she is in magnificent form after her visit to Ropley works on the MHR.
That's great. About two years ago someone took a wonderful vid of Union of South Africa screaming through Chippenham. Your vid is on a par. Great. I also filmed Britannia on Thursday but in more sedate surroundings. I filmed it passing Acton-Main line bound for Bristol;. Please take a look and comment, Barry
Very good thanks for the upload.
Enjoyed that,cheers mate.
Great video, IMO a little too far down the line though to get the full impact of the whistle and the reactions of the passengers on the platform but still mightily impressive. Thanks for uploading!
@Christopher125 Had I been further along then the shot would have been much shorter and the impression of speed would not have been that great.
WOW !! Nifty Video, would have been faultless had it been a A4, but still a WOW video
Cant say I'm a train fan but that beats a intercity 125 anyday or night. we should just go back to steam loco's, they look amazing and the engineering that you see working is mind boggling compared to todays Dirty diesels.
Rule Britannia!
Compare that to a 66 or 67 or even a Deltic.......No comparison at all. And as a lad the express steam was all day, every day.
