Nicely filmed with perfect mix of cab and view ahead. Having not been back to Blackpool for 2 decades now, I'd forgotten Balloons driven standing up. New warning sounds in the cab now too. Well done, very enjoyable video and thanks for sharing.

Wow that's such an interesting small drivers cab. I didn't know that the driver had to stand up and use the controls so much. I've definitely got more respect for them now. Cool job.
@TheTouristLine2 жыл бұрын
Your telling me! I turned up on the day with about 5 ideas where I could have put my camera, and the cab was too small for all of them 😂 he told me this was a quiet easy run, he said on illumination nights you expect hundreds of people to be on the tracks and you have to be eagle eyed the whole way.

great film and enjoyed it - having been on it i never considered how small the drivers area is in general space or height (see the driver duck down a few times) hats off for standing while driving such a beautiful vehicle
@TheTouristLine2 жыл бұрын
I definitely thought the cab was a lot bigger, when I turned up with my camera there was a bit of a 'hmm what do I do here' moment! It is great to see the concentration in the drivers face, he said this was a quiet day too, apparently illuminations nights are manic!

Nice video but would have been nice to have the front view fill the screen and the driver in the corner, as most of the screen is basically wasted by visuals that just stay still and don’t change.
@TheTouristLine2 жыл бұрын
I decided to do it this way as nobody had ever put a camera in the cab of a historic like this before, however most people do know what Blackpool looks like if that makes sense. I have uploaded just the front cam on it's own as well, but as the weather was a bit naff it's not the best, I will be the first to admit that.

Love all the videos on this channel -the Ravenglass and Eskdale ones in particular. - do you think it might be at all possible to get something from the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway one day? All the existing RH&DR cab views I can find are either old and low resolution or have the camera placed on the locomotives tender, which, though cool, can obstruct the view somewhat. Either way, these videos are great regardless of which railway they're showcasing
@TheTouristLine2 жыл бұрын
I haven't contacted the RH&DR yet but it is definitely on my radar as a railway I want to visit, I am aware of it and would love to work with them. Failing that I would love to just visit as it is one I haven't had chance to see in person myself yet. I am hoping this year to have a couple of trips to other parts of the UK for railways I couldn't visit in 1 day, Wales has to be one trip and the south coast needs to be another one. If I could persuade my wife to let me get my camper van I am on to a winner!
@bricksathome22 жыл бұрын
It's definitely worth a visit, probably my favourite railway that I've visited - they usually put on a pretty spectacular 'end of season parade' gala towards the end of October with parallel runs and if last year was anything to go by, seven locomotives on the front of one train. Looking forward to future videos, Some of the railways in Wales could definitely be interesting too!

Probably the only suggestion would be to swap the images, making the view out of the window as the main image, and the view of the driver as the PiP insert. Place the insert at top-left of screen(where the shot is mostly sky for the outward run(up to about 17 minutes), then as the tram goes through that loop, keyframe the PiP to move across to right of screen as the tram comes out of the loop for the return run, so the PiP is still over what is mostly sky.

@neilforbes4162 жыл бұрын
@@travelingman6511 *WRONG AGAIN!* This is *NOT* Split-Screen. This effect is called *overlay* or *Picture-in-Picture(PiP)* where a second image is inserted into one part of the screen to give an alternate view of a scene(or another scene of something else happening at the same moment). Split-Screen is where two images(sometimes three) are placed side-by-side across the screen, or two images placed one above the other. I've been editing video from long before I started my KZbin channel(s), I used to burn my content to DVD, so I've been at this editing caper for well over a decade. How long have you been editing video?

In Blackpool, why don’t you give them the option to Travel on an old tram or one of the modern drums I know disabled people cannot get on the old trams. At least if you have the modern tram running as well, they have got the option for disabled people to get on that tram. It will make a very frequent service on the seafront in Blackpool around Fleetwood.

If you're going to preserve a vehicle do it properly. Why has it got those awful bus seats? And that raucous horn instead of the whistle they were fitted with? And it has to be sounded as you pass each stop! For someone who remembers the great days of Blackpool trams this can only be a disappointment. Better than nothing, though.
@TheTouristLine2 жыл бұрын
I only know these trams from when I used to go to Blackpool as a kid in the 90s, before they switched to the modern ones, so they probably brought back more accurate memories for me than somebody older. What seats did they used to have?
