A fairly flat and uninteresting journey to be honest.Maybe a caption or two would have helped but overall a pleasant enough video.Cheers from the Grumpy old Spotter

about 10 years ago i took the train from Preston to Blackpool. the carriage was a very old 2 car unit (if i remember correctly) with an onboard diesel engine (was not electric). do you have any videos SHOWING that train stock? this sounds like it might be it but i definitely dont remember it moving that fast. lol.

Might be showing my age but here last time I was in King St it was a 47 and 3-5 coal waggons from Arpley or Walton old? (Warrington) Definately much improved since then, it was semi-derelict then and for many Years. Nice Video though.

Brilliant video, especially the low picture, you seem like you are flying along. The clarity is excellent as well without a dirty fly stained window obscuring the camera. Loved it.

Blackpool station at last looks a clean modern station with it's new electrifcation system installed? It took long enough ? Next the complicion of the waverly rought from Edingbourgh to Carlisle? They have this section started from Edingbourgh Waverly to to tweedmouth finished now finish it off to Carlisle ? Or what's the point? Or is just another waste of taxpayers money 💰 also a good divirinary if needed

I do hope a few pacers are spared could be ideal for branch lines heritage lines etc ? rough riding at times but ideal for certain routes? On the rail network why scrap ? just mothball some . For further use ? Rail buses reliable ? What's the problem?

Yeah, to the scumbag who nicked me J reg Avenger from Huyton in 1984 then reporting it nicked old bill were giving me a hard time wondering what a south London wideboy was doing on their patch, it was the kind chap in Ian Skelly's VW dealership who told me "Don't live here m8 if you can't take a joke..." and how people put up with that 'orrible pong from Crawfords, heck we had Tunnel Refineries over in Blackwall which was basically a place to render horses and cows and that place honked but Crawfords... man that took the lining off yer lungs :(

For someone of nerd~ish tendencies like me, that's an impressive introduction to a city. I mean Liverpool is big, but that labarynth of tunnels and gravity defying cuttings would have you believe you're coming into someplace *"B~I~G"!* Then again, I come from a place that is - in all honesty - a bit of a backwater. To the locals/habitués, It's all probably very _'meh'..!_ I'm probably the rube who's blocking the sidewalk gawping up at the skyscrapers. Still... Liverpool - Place has a whole plethora of road and rail tunnels under the 'harbour', not to mention, had it's own El _before_ Chi - town did! (I think.) And there's always the Beatles.
