Thank you Ben for watching and for all your comments throughout the year. Happy new year to you too.

There are plenty of vantage points Brian although the low in the sky bright sun can be a problem this time of year. It is a busy place, sometimes it is a job to keep up with the action.😁 Thank you for watching and commenting

Thank you for watching and a happy new year to you too.

Thank you Owen for watching. The line you ask about is the Down Stamford to Oakham, Melton and Leicester and it is also doubles as the Down Slow of the East Coast Main Line from Peterborough Station to Helpston Junction. A glance at google maps satellite view may help.

Thanks for that. I always thought it was odd there was a single line next to the fast lines. Used to live near Sleaford and enjoy the container trains on the station avoiding line. Now in Scotland next to the old paddy line ( Carlisle to Stranraer).

@@owengriffiths6383 Werrington Junction has been re-modelled many times over the years. Here is the layout in 1968 signalbox.org/~SBdiagram.php/?id=%20716 The left edge is Hurn Road and the right edge is Cock Lane. The Down Goods is now the Up Slow (ECML) throughout to Peterborough (bi-directional from P'boro to Werrington Junction). The Up Coal and Up Goods no longer exist (they were where the silver van was running in the video). The Down Slow was also taken out as far as Helpston and the Down Stamford doubled as the ECML Down Slow.

Yes, there are a few of these type of workings between Doncaster and Peterborough and vice versa. The locos get tagged onto normal workings to get to the GBRf maintenance depots at either Doncaster (Roberts Road) or New England without having to create a new path in the timetable. You have probably seen in past videos of a few tagged onto the midday Middleton Towers sand train from Peterborough to Doncaster. Happy new year Tom.

Thank you for watching. Roll on some better and warmer weather for 2025, I've had enough of this dark grey stuff.😄 I think the EWS livery will still be around for a while yet, I heard it can take about a month to repaint a couple of locos.

Thank you CRV and a merry Christmas to you. I hope you have another good year in 2025 producing your excellent videos.

Thank you very much CR.

Thank you Michael for your continued support.

Thank you Keith.

Thank you for watching and subscribing Steve, much appreciated.

Thank you Peter. I think 66715 has been on the RHTT somewhere.🤔 Nice to see those fast trains slowed down a bit so we can see what they really look like.😁

Another one of those 'in the right place at the right time' moments. Class act all day long, that Sir Nigel, all those leccies and diseasels wilt at the knees when they encounter the master. Thank you for watching and commenting Ben.

Thank you for watching and subscribing Mal.

Not sure what the wreath was for Tom, unless it was just a Christmas wreath. Both steam trains to York were advertised as The White Rose to York Christmas Market. Those 47's on the St. Albums train was probably the fastest I have seen a train travel through that junction, the one on the rear sure did lean and wobble quite a lot.

Thank you for watching it all!

Thank you Christopher. SNG is a really nice engine and always well turned out. Hope your journey to Doncaster and back went better than the last time!

@werringtonjunction Much better, thanks, just colder waiting in Doncaster.

Problems with signaling systems I think.

From above: 'After about ten minutes of waiting everything came to a standstill as a complete signal failure occurred on the East Coast Main Line and Stamford Lines between Hurn Road and Cock Lane. With all signals at red, trains were eventually moved very slowly block by block using radio communication.'

It was in the description Michael, as Christopher pointed out. Rumour has it that it was a broken wire in the lineside signal control box at Hurn Road. I think they did quite a good job of keeping the trains running.

Thank you Michael. A bit longer video than usual as there was so much going on and I left out quite a few clips as well.

Thank you for watching Neil. The top and tailed on 4L87 at 6:00 and 26:30 and 4E95 at 15:30 is due no run round availablity at Felixstowe north yard since a container train derailed and ripped out track there a few months ago.

Thank you for watching Chris. The kit is an ancient, now discontinued Canon 200D (DSLR) + 18-55 and 55-250 lenses bought second hand off ebay about six years ago. The only downsides apart from it being old technology is you have to manaully zoom the lenses in and out (gets a bit jerky at times with unsteady hands) rather than having a motorised zoom like a dedicated video camera and my camera does not do 4K video if you need that. Whatever route you go, get a camera that has a fully adjustable flip out screen.

Yes, I can confirm that, the video shows it! It is google street view that you are probably looking at which is out of date, Openstreetmap is up to date. The satellite view on google maps shows you the area, (Hurn Road, Werrington Parkway dual carraigeway and Lincoln Road), the street view shows the old Hurn Road which goes under the Werrington Parkway, this is now the railway with a footpath from Lincoln Road to the bend in Hurn Road running alongside the railway. Access to Hurn Road is now off the dual carraigeway of Werrington Parkway.

Without doubt the dive under has been a great asset which has given greater flexibility at Werrington Junction. The sales speil that it would eliminate freight having to cross the ECML wasn't wholly accurate as GBRf built a (very welcome) maintenance and repair facility on 'the wrong side' of the ECML putting more pressure on New England Junction. What we need now is the Ely upgrade to start so we can get more freight our way.

@werringtonjunction and what a lovely maintenance facility it is 😂😂😂 here here... to the Ely Freight Upgrade 👍🏻

@@benGBRf Who would have thought you might be slightly biased Ben.🤣 GBRf have done a great job revitalising the New England area and they have cleared out the overgrown South Yard too. Long may they continue to expand their services.

Not the start to the weekend you would have wanted Christopher. Hope you are well and thank you for still watching my videos.

Hello Mick, I have been on leave from last Wednesday onwards. I have been combining birdwatching, trainspotting, and walking in order to get fit for my visit to my daughter for Christmas. She and her husband live in West Yorkshire, just outside the Peak District National Park. I have built up my distances and hours gradually. I did nearly 18 miles on foot last Sunday walking across to Ferry Meadows for Tornado on the Nene Valley Railway. I am hoping this gets me fit for our Boxing Day walk in the hills! I saw a double-header of Class 69's coming out of the dive-under heading south on one walk. There was a photographer out in the field near the Hurn Road bridge with an enormous monopod. I hope you are well too. Cheers, Chris.

@@christophermonk For a minute there I read that as getting fit to walk to West Yorkshire🤔 I 'm sure you will be OK by Christmas, hope the weather is good for you once you are up there.

Thanks ​once again @werringtonjunction Keep up the good work 👏

Thank you Mike, hope these videos are not sending you to sleep before the end.🤣🤣🤣

@@werringtonjunction No way!

Thank you Robert. The first two weekends the old Werrington Line was being used for the diverts then the last weekend it was the dive under as Werrington Junction was completely blocked off.

Thank you Michael, glad you like these videos.

Thank you Ben for watching and commenting. More diversions in the next video published yesterday, using the dive under route this time.

They are nice powerful locos, plenty to see as they are the mainstay of freight movements around this area.

Thank you for watching Michael.

Thank you for watching Thomas.

Thank you Ben. I have just watched my video again to remind me what a sunny day looks like!🤣

@@werringtonjunction 😂☀️

The 47 sounded good too.

It was nice to see a 47.😀

That is the Rail Head Treatment Train (RHTT). It blasts high pressure water on to the top of the rails to clear away leaves and residue from crushed leaves to improve traction and brakeing of locomotives. It runs from October to around December, there are many of these trains running all over the country at this time of the year.

@@werringtonjunction AH is that what they are? and its a good idea, thank you again

Thank you. If construction videos interest you, go to the Playlist on my channel where you can watch the construction of the new line at Werrington Junction.

@@werringtonjunction I will have a look at that sometime definitely, thank you

Thanks, one of my favourite spots to film from.

Thank you very much for watching and your kind comment. It is a busy place, here is a link to google maps starting at Cock Lane footbridge maps.app.goo.gl/vVMS6Fz9tTSEpVaH8 just follow the tracks to get view of the layout around Werrington Junction.

@@werringtonjunction Superb thank you

Got to include a bit of farming, it's what us Lincolnshire Yellowbelly's are famous for. BTW, it's not a Claas, it's a Case.😀 As always, thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you Mike. The Colas HST with the 91 is testing the OHLE, it has also been running on the Midland Mainline. What it is testing for I don't know. Plenty of photos and video if you search for Colas Powerlines Romic.

Yes, now the RHTT's have been let loose it's sure sign to pack away the t-shirts and get the winter clothes out.

Thank you Mike. The 69 often gets held there in the afternoon waiting for a unit to pass on the old route. It certainly gives it a workout.

Thank you Robert. I had a look at your Flickr site, some very good photos on there. I always like anything about south Lincolnshire.

@@werringtonjunction Thank you. Wish I could afford to travel more. I do not drive.

Apologies Mike, just found your November 2019 video with the bridge in. Really helps.

@@peterlittle6651 The east (Werrington) side of the bridge the ramps are all 1.5m high. On the west (Bretton) side they are 1.8m high facing the railway. The span over the railway is 1.85m, 50mm was added since I took that video. You should be alright with a two step ladder, I am 6ft tall and can see over the highest points with one of those 9 inch high plastic step stools.

Thank you Ben. Yes, it was a nice week to be out but nothing much happening on the railway recently when I have been out.

Thanks Ben. The best of the summer weather is definitely behind us now. We have already seen eight RHTT sets delivered to Whitemoor in the past couple of weeks plus one that has been in New England south yard most of the summer so we should see plenty of action in the coming months. If we get some freak weather this winter we might even get to see a snowplough, now that would be a novelty.🤣

🤔I don't see any 20's in this video🤔

Which video were they on?

@@mikeuk4130 The only video with 20's just recently was No.130. I have never seen three together so I don't know what Theo is referring to.

​@@werringtonjunction Me neither, unless he is mistakenly recalling the "Three to the Sea" railtour, which ran South via Sheffield and the MML.

Yes.
