5043 Blasts out of Liverpool hauling the Mersey Express 01-06-2024

[@beckyhales1619]

5043 you beautiful beast of a locomotive. Magical and that Western whistle makes the hair on the neck stand up. Finally, I just loved to see what looked like a police van come to a sudden halt on the road above. I bet he couldn't believe his ears or eyes. 😍

[@steamdriver12]

Certainly one of my favourite locos and the way it blasted up the bank once again showed why. I think it's one of those private ambulances that stopped on Tunnel road, which I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out...Graham

[@RailwayTavern]

Grand shots today buddy, canal boat coming into shot on cue was epic!

[@steamdriver12]

Thanks mate, appreciated. Definitely a case of good timing even with the canal being surprisingly busy - that was the 6th or 7th barge to go past in the time I'd been there...Graham

[@nigelbevan8449]

You were at the right place at the right time with that canal barge and the 🚂 🚂.... Really well done bud.

[@peterpan1435]

Talented cameramen make their ‘right place at the right moments’ Well done. A sequence to hold dear.

[@steamdriver12]

Thanks Nigel, much appreciated. While I have every intention of using that spot again in the future, I expect I'll never get another barge going across the shot at the same time...Graham

[@steamdriver12]

Thanks mate, appreciated. It'll probably never happen again when I go there in the future...Graham

[@irelandbloke]

Superb shots ! 👍

Thanks mate, appreciated...Graham

@@steamdriver12 You're very welcome !

[@gbtrains]

Cracking footage - love seeing a steamer in full flow.

[@philclarke3203]

Great video. Good timing at Winsford.I've been to that spot many times, but never had a boat at the right time.

[@steamdriver12]

Thanks mate, appreciated. The canal was surprisingly busy on Saturday morning; that was about the 6th or 7th boat to go past in the hour or so I was there...Graham

[@finlayfraser9952]

What a lovely locomotive!

[@garryvarley2800]

not much can beat or better a gw 4 cylinder and whistle at full tilt what a sound

[@markiliff]

Now *that* is a beautfully framed shot. (I just hope no-one baled out during the extended narrowboat sequence and missed it)

[@GreatBritishRailways1]

Nicely captured. Regards, John

[@steamdriver12]

Thanks for your comment John and glad you enjoyed...Graham

[@stephenbrass1808]

Spot on that, bit of luck too brilliant .👍

[@kevinrayner5812]

What is the station in the long shot coming out of Liverpool? Edge Hill I guess. Do I assume that weed killing trains are a thing of the past?

[@sirjohng1]

Very impressive. Thank you.

[@karlthepotter4228]

Superb!

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Why was it on the wrong side going through the station??

[@soundseeker63]

That was very pleasant. Edge Hill is looking a bit neglected / overgrown though!

[@keithjones4427]

Grate vid, but the state of that station is bad.

[@steamdriver12]

Thanks mate, appreciated. Edge Hill is a bit of a weed patch isn't it, sadly quite common these days such is the state of our railways...Graham

[@derekibison6644]

Why was there a diesel at the end?

[@voidjavelin23]

lack of turntable/route ends to a terminus

[@derekibison6644]

Thank you

A fine GWR "ambassador" visiting another railway region of yesteryear. Lovely stuff!

Phenomenal performance. JG.

Oooh...steam train!

[@steamdriver12]

Definitely not your average sight on a Saturday morning trip down the Shropshire Union Canal...

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Was that Castle doing something that's usually considered impossible for a Castle? Was it - ulp - throwing some of it's coalbed up the chimney?! 😮

I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 8-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

[@voidjavelin23]

because its stupid and also mainline trains wont fit into the underground tunnels
