Superb video, as always. Great to include the photobombers too.
Cheers mate, haha I was hoping one of them would see the video. Funny stuff.
Never seen the Balfour Beatty 20s, cool! And as for a 37 convoy, well! Great catch sir, especially concentration tongue man :D :D :D
EDIT: 93s convoy too, wowzers, decent one this! Cheers mucker
Haha we all do it! Thanks a lot John, glad you enjoyed it mate.
Hi Luke, another great video thank you. Don’t know if you have seen photos of it yet but 69012 has been painted in two tone green and looks absolutely stunning!
Nice to see the 86 ‘Les Ross’. You probably already know that Les was a broadcasting legend and rail enthusiast here in the Midlands. I was a massive fan of his from the mid 70s for over 25 years on his radio shows. Now at 75 years he is still doing a bit on local radio. Again thanks for the video especially the four 37s in tandem. Magic stuff! Cheers and Regards Colin👍
Thanks a lot mate, I did see the pics of it shortly after releasing the video. Another controversial one but that colour is gorgeous 👌🏻 glad you enjoyed it Colin, cheers!
Been drawn to your channel & I like what I've seen, so subbed. Regarding the 'drain train'. It must be murder trying to find a pool of dvrs 'signed on' to go on so many different routes at a relative short notice. Crew Allocation Managers job? No thanks I still have a full head of hair! LOL! More please!
Thanks very much Anthony, it’s greatly appreciated 👍🏻 Ha yeah keep me well away from that job thank you!
Great captures - love seeing freight workings. Those 20's were new to me though, never seen them before.
Cheers mate, aye I believe they’ve only recently gone into those colours 👍🏻
This was a fantastic watch Luke. Was good to see the action at Stafford, and a pleasure to meet you there that day. Another gooden from you! Good 86s at Cheadle and Drain train too! Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie
Cheers Jamie, great to meet you back then too, feels like ages ago this video took so long to put together haha. Glad you enjoyed it mate, all the best.
@DiggleJunction Anytime, hahaha yes was a great day, so much action! Of course, and you!
Brilliant video Luke. Stafford must be my favourite station, so much freight. Keep up the good work mate 👍
It’s superb pal, always worth a trip down there. Hardest 24 hour stint I’ve ever done because it was just non-stop all day and night! Thanks a lot pal.
Great work again Luke, some fantastic catches there - can't decide if the 37 convoy or the 86's were my favourites this time (fortunate timing for the 86's too!) Just seen 69012 in its new livery on another channel - looks stunning, full marks to GBRF again! Full marks too to the driver of 66003 - good effort on the horn...!! 😅
It’s a tough one this time mate, not sure I can pick a highlight although you know I’m partial to a 37 or two, or four. Haha that driver was great, think he saw us all out in the absolute persisting rain and thought he’d give us a show. Love the new livery for 012, hopefully we get it up here soon.
Another great video Luke loved the two 86s .
Cheers Tony, always great to see 86’s back out on the West Coast!
Nice one Luke and well done for putting up with the rain and the photo-bomber at Stafford.😄
Haha I was facing the other way and didn’t realise till I got home and watched the clip back 😂 ah well it was worth the laugh.
Thank you Luke 🙂another great video
Glad you enjoyed it Ruth, thanks as always!
A great, interesting mix Luke. 👍👍👍
Cheers Chris, much appreciated pal I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
i have said it before and will say it again you cant beat the old locos for how they sound great video Luke as always hope you had a fab holiday
Thanks very much mate was great, nice to get top of sunshine before coming back to Mid-November Saddleworth.
Yet another cracking video, thanks very much indeed Luke.
Thanks as always John, much appreciated 👍🏻
Superb video again Luke.
Thanks a lot Kevin 👍🏻
Too may spoilers in your intro! 😂 I like what they did with 69012, subsequently, at Arlington 👍 I hope the City fans enjoyed the retro comforts of the Mk2s 😉
Would have been the only thing to enjoy that day 😂 I really like 69012 too, gorgeous colour!
Great watch again thx Luke 👏👏.
Nice to see the class 20’s at Wigan .!!( reminiscing my childhood at springs branch) thx for the commitment .!!👍
Thanks a lot mate, it was always 31’s for me down there at SB. Good times. Thanks for the support as always 👍🏻
Thanks Luke, another nice one. I always wanted to know the trick of great rail photography and you have revealed it @ 5.18.
How do you think I manage to get all these great shots, the same things! Haha I knew of all people you’d be the one to mention that mate, that’s why I left it in 😂
Love the 20s still being used. So much character
Great to see them out and about in this day and age. With HNRC bringing more back soon too.
Always get your into intereputed by a train lol great shot of the class 20s roaring through &4 class 37s amazing
Every bloody time haha. Cheers David, glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant video luke them 20s are superb in the livery last saw them at leeds midland Road in the old gbrf livery so glad companies keep the older locomotives working and alive
Thanks a lot mate, they look great don’t they. Brilliant they’re still running and running well in this day and age of bi-mode and tri-mode locos. I’ll take English electric uni-mode all day!
Luke my other half said have you had a hair cut yet lol great vid buddy
Yes but it’s still a Barnet haha. Your other half will have to be the judge in todays video lol. Cheers mate 👍🏻
Those 86s looked great and so did their coaches. And you need to take more water with it lad!
Agree there mate, was like going back in time almost.
Fantastic c Stuff so love what you do and the presentation is awesome Mike
Thanks very much Mike, appreciate that mate 👍🏻
Goodbye to mail trains
Would be sad to see no more mail by rail.
6000+ well done good vids
Thanks a lot Edwin, much appreciated!
Congratulations on getting 6000 subs! The Footex looked amazing with the 86's on and that really fresh intercity paint job.
Thanks a lot Dunc, couldn’t ever have imagined we’d get this many. Brilliant catching the footex, doesn’t happen too often these days.
69012 is now painted in eastleigh and out on the rails with new name
Saw the pics just after publishing the video mate, love the cast Falcon plates on the side, nice touch 👌🏻
Great video.Thanks.
Cheers Ste, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Another ace vide mate, on my birthday as well [12th] spent a really good B - Day at the Great central railway for the English electric running day.
Thanks a lot mate, and happy belated Birthday! Hope you had a good one, although I’m willing to bet you did down there 👍🏻
