Thanks very much tedgoater.

Well done braving the weather for the second take.! Was it snow or rain I wonder?

[@FullSteamAhead]

I putted my video light on which made the rain look like snow, but it was drizzle as you can see but I wish it was snowing and on a clear evening. LOL. Thanks very much mate.

That's quite a drag from Bristol Temple Meads to Filton, it used to be 4 roads, but Stapleton Road bridge was condemned, hence now only 2 roads.

Work is still underway for the electrification that was supposed to be inaugurated in 2017? :P Good to see four track being reinstated, though. However did you find your way to the spot next to the track in the last shot? Did you get in position before it got dark?

[@FullSteamAhead]

Hi AndreiTupulov. Apparently the section from Lawrence Hill to Filton is one of the areas where the electrification has been delayed due to more money needed than realized. It's a shame that the overhead wires would spoil a 1980's scene with the four track layout before it was reduced to two. As for the shot at Sapperton, I filmed at the first of three public crossings before the tunnel and I got into position before the light disappeared into total darkness. Thanks for the comment.

We don't want electrification, if we get it there will be no sound, how boring.
