- Clan Line's first outing of 2018 came in the shape of "The King Alfred" tour which ran a circular route from London Victoria to Haslemere and back. In this short video the iconic "Merchant Navy" is seen hurtling through Winchester station running exactly to time, giving an urgent whistle to the many spectators on the station.
Huge thanks to Will from Bluebell-Railway Hawks for the additional camera angle.
All footage filmed on Saturday 10th February 2018.

You Brits knew how to build (and still do) a gorgeous steamer. Awesome bit of whistle as she charges through. Great capture as always!
Thank you Trav once again!
I should think so ! We invented them!
Yes - alas we're rubbish at high speed rail, but we do this stuff well! :D
I spent many an hour on that station platform as a young lad 'train-spotting' in the 1960's. Saw 'Clan Line' on a few occasions and actually sat in the driving cab of her once at an Open Day at Eastleigh locomotive/engineering works. Great days. Never thought I'd witness the likes of this again decades later on CZcams. Fabulous.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing footage of this stunning locomotive. What I wouldn't give to be on board! Hello from Los Angeles.
Thank you! Hello from deepest darkest Surrey, England.
Sensational! Thanks for uploading this,
Lovely shots and for once on youtube, very well filmed. I was at the front of the first passenger coach (second coach behind the locomotive), with a group of us old timers, literally, from the 1960s, who were timing a run every bit as good as we timed back in those days. Right up to today's 75 mph limit all the way down Roundwood bank and through Winchester. Had to shut off steam, thankfully just after the station, as we were booked to cross to the slow line at Shawford Junction prior to branching off the main line at Eastleigh. Please keep a spare of this clip handy, myself and the others in the group on the train will likely wear this one out!
Thanks for your interesting comment, looked like we made the right move by not heading to Shawford then as the performance wouldn't have been quite so impressive. This clip will (well, should) be on CZcams forever so it's here for you all to enjoy!
What a splendid performance and a great capture to match. Kind regards, Bob.
Thank very much once again Bob.
OMG...What a powerful steam loco man ...Love from india
Thank you.
Very nice video. IMPRESSIVE
Superb mate !
Thank you sir!
LOL, you made me laugh @ 'obliterates Winchester'. The old steamer still shows who's the boss.. I laughed with tears.
Fantastic video!
Thanks.
Great video, Clan Line was really flying at Winchester. I wish I had gone there now instead of Hedge End.
Definitely wasn't hanging about. It was a last minute call to go Winchester, a group of us had originally planned for Eastleigh or Shawford.
Hiya, i don't suppose i could use this audio file for a model railway video at all please ? Thanks, charlie :)
The SR Merchant Navy Class 35028 Clan Line is the steam locomotive which has the sign: The British Pullman
Nice Sharing
One word........Brilliant
One word... Thanks!
I wanted to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the new abandoned underground stations.
Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into six cars per units and also having three Accessible Toilets on that six cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC, Gardner 6LXB and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers?
A Stock Train and also having 8 DisaAccessiblelets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train?
The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. Oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily.
Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train station in Chingford and could they extend the DLR?
All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Six carriages three accessible toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.
Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to create more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique minor no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those fascinating Journeys Please!!! oh, can you make all of those Coal Boxes’ 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us, passengers!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Very much as I remembered it from the Sixties
My Dad used to drive Clan Line when it was in service.
Nothing like a steam engine at speed 👌 top notch spectacular
She was running great
Thanks Dave, yes going well.
Looking at it from the front, that is a lot of bouncing around. The rails or the engine?
Bit of both but bear in mind the effect of a telephoto lens.
What a great sight. Steam power at it's very best.
Thanks very much Allan, a fine spectacle for sure.
81 through Winchester on the day......apparently 😉
Nice one
Thank you.
Lovely Jubbly...
Nice snapshot.
Thank you.
Great stuff. Thankfully NOT in the USA where a clanking bell is rung when passing over crossings and through stations. Very tiresome !
Only 75mph I thought it looked faster. Great video though.
Gotta go fast
Someone was certainly in a hurry
Definitely seemed that way. Thanks.
yes ok
That speed wirh 12 on, not 8 or 9 like a lot of diesel's
Nice toot.
Indeed.
You've sped this up ;) great shot's Louis
No trickery - just the magnificence of a Merchant! Thanks!
You should upload it, to your Facebook page.
Obliterates? Really...?
I thank you for your insightful comment...
bit rude really
Nice, but looking at the end of the video, Winchester is still there so not 'obliterated'.........
It's merely a turn of phrase.
But what on earth does it mean? If you obliterate something it no longer exists. Winchester is still there!
@@34055 have you never heard of poetic license?
"Obliterates" Winchester? Well, I was there yesterday, and it's still there. Maybe "Travels through at 75 MPH"
What an idiotic title. "obliterates Winchester". It's a train going through a station.
What an idiotic comment. It's a video made by me and I'll name it what the hell I like.
@@VehicularBrit good on yer mate.
