Hey Mark, would it be okay to use some of this footage in a video I'm making on FGW, with appropriate credit of course!

Lovely looking train, just like the original 2960 Blue Pullmans.

Sounds like the Scotsman could do with some WD40

A welcome change of scenery!

Great Footage 👍

That BEP seemed to have escaped Pompey duties that day!

Hey Mark, some awesome footage here as always! Just wondering if I could use some of the Wales & West/Wales & Borders/Wessex footage you have for some video(s) I am making on the former Welsh/Western operators - with credit of course! Thanks :)

I was living near for few years. Cycling everyday on the bridge on my way to work.

I think u guys got a funnel cloud from this storm

I think most weather forecasts are correct my parents didn't believe it would reach 40C 2 years ago but it did and I was made to work in that searing heat they didn't show any interest in my welfare and I nearly collapsed in the heat on my way home.

Nice, I was just round the corner in Churchdown

Absolutely wonderful filming of HST’s. I can honestly say that’s the best footage I’ve seen this year well done

Wow, awesome stuff Mark! Just wondering if I could use some of this for some potential Virgin videos I have lined up 👀👀 With appropriate credit of course!

Love those tropical supermix liveries. lol

Nice 👍

Good video, Barry Needham was on the EWS coal desk at Doncaster and was killed at Great Heck going to work. Class 60's always needed extra TLC and were not a patch on class 66 reliability .

My youngest memories of wanting to watch railways were here whilst staying with relatives here in the early 70's..... I used to pester my dad to take me to stand by that level crossing and depot I distinctly remember what I think was an old steam loco standing behind the shed wall up against it, perhaps being used as a stationery boiler perhaps? Anyone know what loco it was Great video by the way, thanks

An unusual location and nicely captured. Regards, John

Cracking name for tour that nice film

Great selection of freight Mark.

Excellent ❤

Hi Mark, do you know when the diesels are returning?

Hey Mark, I have been on a 799 actually when I did work experience with Porterbrook last year! However, I did just wonder if I could use some of your GNER footage for a video I'm making on the company - with appropriate credit of course - thank you :)

I must admit I didn't know anything about these! Converted from Class 319s at the University of Birmingham but been under test for a while. Never seen one in action before. I think this is the only one - I wonder how the trial is going? Thank you for capturing this. Cheers, Paul

Wondered what that was! Passed it on 197 050 on the way to Gloucester

Nice video thank you 😊

It always amazes me that loco-hauled was still a thing during my childhood, seems inconceivable on today’s railways.

Nice shot of H bombs on the loop.Remember summer Saturdays on T bridge getting all the extra trains happy days 😊

Back when Gloucester fair was at its best, nothing to it these days

I did hear them leave from longlevens 😊

very impressive so much steam

Nice capture. I got this last year on a visit, ironically on black & white the day after my colour slide film had finished.

Just shows how difficult it is to turn a steam loco around for a return journey now there are no turntables!! Sad to sat it but being "two-ended" diesel locos don't have this problem

Great video! I saw her at Worcester Shrub Hill.

Great video, interesting seeing the shunt movement for coal and water

Yet to see one of these newer ones at work. Also interesting that the overgrown siding has been replaced.

I miss the good old days of the Great Western Mainline before the electrification happened

Very impressive standing start! Have always liked the 60’s and consider them a very unloved and undervalued class, just like the 92’s, but reliability issues aside, they will blow the socks off a 66. Good to see that other freight operators appreciate them rather more than DB do! Nice vid! You have a like and a new subscriber.

It's now closed is Crossleys and been cleared to build a £100,000,000 pound train care depot.

Seems an extremely complicated way to use hydrogen as a fuel when they could just use it in an internal combustion engine. But of course IC engines are now the Devil's work, so we can't expect anything sensible from government energy policy

I don't spot much at Gloucester, think nothing interesting happens, but you prove me wrong.

Great to see Mark

thanks for video

I use to get these for journeys up country, it was a very good service and the trains seemed rapid, no hanging about! seemed faster than the HST's, I loved hearing the power car giving it full throttle on a long run which it would often do. Great footage, thanks for posting it up.

Great locomotives and they do sound very similar to the GE Dash 8's in my opinion.

Wonderfully eclectic mix of traction that we just don't see anymore. Must be post '97 with all those VT liveried locos though. Lime St hasn't changed all that much tbh.

Nice clip of the Western.

Great loco's when their behaving themselves , worked on them since their introduction , driven a few ,they will pull nearly anything so quiet in the cab , rode few on acceptance trials and they were game changer when introduced

no

Giovanni nappa 👍
