My grandfather drove Scotsman through the channel tunnel back in steam days in 2002 ,he can still remember it like it was yesterday even though he’s now 25 ,I notice the driver takes a size 9 in boots ,im unfortunate as I take a size 11 which is not so common in a kitten heel

excellent shots👍 sadly i didn't see anything of the 73 with the 20 on Saturday didn't think it was running 😟

Thanks! The 73 appeared later on the Friday afternoon as you can see in the video. I don't know about Sat or Sun, I wasn't there.

I'm a bit confused by the double stop signal before Wittersham Road?
@SixpennyFilms 9 ай бұрын
That is the Up Home signal for Wittersham Road. Whenever we see the two stop signal arms one above the other like that it shows we are approaching a junction with two routes. The upper arm applies to the line on the left (in this case the platform road) and the lower arm applies to line on the right (in this case the 'through' or 'main' route).

That Connex livery just looked like a metaphor for the company, cheap assed and poorly thought out
@SixpennyFilms 9 ай бұрын
Given that Connex had to be bailed and then failed in 2003 I expect the livery was the least of their problems. There's nostalgia for those slam-door trains but probably not much for Connex itself!

That blast up the bank put me in mind of a firing turn I had on one of the Austerities, sometime in the mid 90s, with the late Chris Mitchell. We reached Rolvenden, and Chris looked across at me with a wicked twinkle in his eye, and asked how it looked. I told him that we'd got a good batch of coal, a clean fire, no problem with water or steam. "Shall we go for it?", he asked; "Why not?", I replied - and by God, we certainly did! As we approached Cranbrook Road, the crossing keeper had his hands over his ears and a *huge* grin on his face! I don't know what our time was, Rolvenden to Tenterden, but I bet it was a goodly bit quicker than shown in the WTT . . . Chris and Carole Mitchell, very good friends, and great people to work with. ♥

I wonder why did he run that fast with the johnson bar almost all the way forward, makes acceleration more difficult and enrages the fireman

Steep bank, heavy load and limited speed restriction. Also gives the passengers a bit more bark for their money.

The advantage with a small firebox is that you don't have to throw the coal in as far as you might have to on something like an LNER A4
