Hi Tim! This is a wonderful video. Vehicle material in very good condition. The old diesels still have the best sound by far. Amazing how everything is looked after so beautifully. I celebrated again yesterday. I left you two beers 🍻. Cheers Tim.
Gosh, at least I won't get too drunk on all those virtual beers you have left behind the bar for me 😊. I'm lucky to be able to call this my local heritage railway, the staff and volunteers have done a great job to keep the railway open throughout much of the lock-down period. The old diesels sound so much more relaxed than their modern high revving replacements. I enjoyed a pint of beer in a pub at lunchtime for the first time in almost two years. Take care. Tim.
Thank you Ted, it's nice to be able to get out and about again, the staff and volunteers on the Mid Hants are a friendly bunch, I always enjoy visiting.
Hello Keith, to the Mid Hant's credit they saw Covid as challenge to be overcome, they ran services throughout most of the lock-down period, observing the strict personal hygiene guidelines required, they adapted the rolling stock with very neat, yet discrete partitions. The much altered service patterns enabled both individuals and groups to travel in designated trains. The easing of restrictions has allowed a return to the more familiar hop on hop off at intermediate stations service enjoyed by most travelers. You were fortunate to get a footplate ride, I hope this bought back good memories from your own trip.
Hello Neil, it's been a while since my last Driver's Eye view video, this one was a bit of a surprise as I didn't know there was a diesel running, I had taken mounts for a steam locomotive, so I quickly jerry-rigged a sucker mount for a diesel, it wasn't strong enough to mount on the outside of the window, but it was OK for the inside. I am really grateful to the crew for their help.

Witaj, Tim. Nareszcie mogę udać się na wycieczkę pociągiem. Uwielbiam te wycieczki, skłaniają mnie do rozmyślań filozoficznych . Serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Cześć, minęło trochę czasu, odkąd opublikowałem film z widokiem z oczu kierowcy, mam nadzieję, że w przyszłym roku, kiedy zacznę ponownie podróżować, będę mógł filmować więcej filmów z jazdy taksówką. Najlepsze życzenia. Tim.
Tim, that was a restful and informative journey from end to end. Just a shame the late August weather, though dry, was so overcast and cloudy. Made the light levels gloomy, especially on some of the deeper cuttings or under the shade of nearby trees. Lovely record. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Peter, the light conditions were challenging, even for my regular camera which normally copes with almost anything. If I'd had a bit more time I'd have asked to fix the camera to the outside of the locomotive, it was my own fault, I'd packed clamps for fixing the camera to a steam locomotive, as luck would have it I had an old GoPro suction mount, not ideal, but better than nothing. I was very grateful to the crew for allowing me to place a camera in the cab. I'm currently editing a non driver's eye view of the event, it should be ready by the weekend. Take care. Tim.
Tim, it was well worth capturing and publishing. My untrained opinion was entirely a personal, especially as your video quality is so frequently beyond question, vibrant and colourful. The subject and cab view were fine.
Se eu tivesse condições financeira, iria sim, conhecer estas estações histórica na Europa. Pois, eu acho estas estações muito bonitas. Porque cada uma tem sua história, e merece ser lembrado e preservado para sempre.
Another nice journey thanks tim, what year was the line closed? still in lockdown in nsw things are really crook in tallarook (oz slang) cheer's bob. ps my comments on the auckland vid must have gone thru to the keeper take care.
Hi Robert, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, it closed as part of the national network on 5th February 1973, for more info please click on this link - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercress_Line I'm sorry to hear that you are still in lockdown, "crook in tallarook" is a new one on me, so I looked it up - wordhistories.net/2020/09/30/things-crook-tallarook/ now it makes sense. CZcams inform me of most comments, but a fair number slip through the net, I'll look to see if I can find your comment. Take care and stay safe. Tim.
Hello Heinz, I'm still not allowed to visit my son in New Zealand due to Covid restrictions, but I was lucky to meet this crew on my local heritage railway in the UK. Take care. Tim.
Another line which should never have closed. I hope one day they knock all the stupid houses down on the trackbed and run it all the way to Winchester. Its one thing to close a line, it's a crime to sell the trackbed.
This railway was still open when I used to travel all over Southern England on runabout tickets, I regret never travelling over it. This and the West Somerset Railway are both wonderful heritage railways today that should not exist because as you say the lines should never have closed in the first place.

Hi Tim, Great Drivers Eye View on the 50’s weekend. Thanks for another great video. Ted

brought back memories from 15 years ago when I rode on the footplate of a steamer to Alton and back. thanks very much

Very nice route Tim,almost the jungle so mutch green.cooool.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Keeping the jungle from re-claiming the tracks keeps a lot of volunteers busy.
Excellent cabview!!
Thank you, I was very grateful to the crew for allowing me to place a camera in the cab 😊
Hi Tim lovely to hear that old Diesel. I remember that sound well. Cheers John
Hello John, I enjoy listening to the first generation diesels almost as much as the old steamers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

@@Pjs75 Hello Peter, I'll be attending at least two more events at the railway this year, hopefully an opportunity to have another go will crop up.
@@Pjs75 Hi Peter, I value peoples opinions, it's always good to know what people think of, it helps me make choices for future videos.
This Fantastic 👍
