Acton Bridge - All Night Freight's - 11th-12th June 2015.

A trip out to Acton Bridge to film the night freight variety. On arrival we were greeted with a pair of Colas Rail 56's on the Aviation Fuel tanks, then pair of 37's with a 20 absolutely thrashing passed with the flasks before getting attacked by sand off the Middleton Towers train. Also noted was 90021 with a late 1M16 to Euston after coupling and cabling issues at Carstairs. The night was shortened due to a fatality up in Lockerbie so some freight's were cancelled at Carlisle Yard. Nice to see a fellow mate of mine Paul at the station he was filming the daytime action.

[@MrDeltic15]

Fantastic selection there, just reward for such a long session. Great variety of locos and freight, plus the Sleepers too! Nice to get the Seacows and two triple headers as well.

[@steve71p]

Great opener with the 56's on the tanks. 60087 didn't half blast through, and a nice lash up on 6C18. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers, Steve.

[@fastlinegrid]

Ha ha, i made you jump with the horns on the 56!! (I was also on 6c37) Cracking vid btw

[@Paul21021]

Excellent stuff mate. Thats a whole load of freight and thanks for the reccomendation on your description. Shall have to organise a nighter soon

[@TrainsHQ]

Great video mate going acton next Thursday to see the 56 on 6S96 and then the week after for night session

[@danielmartin7371]

the sleeper from Inverness must of been running over an hour late Cuz it passed around 07:34 and it's normal near London at that time

[@anthony342]

loved the grids at the start ..

[@Cazkumali]

The last clip of the southbound sleeper the mk3s were behind the loco instead of being at the rear

[@formidable38]

What times does the above list cover please? (from and to) This must be one of the best places to observe freights in the country! Good video fella.

[@therailwaychannel1902]

Hi mate just wondering im hoping to do an over nighter at acton bridge just wondering is there access to the platforms through the night or does it close ?/

[@AaronRailFreightVideos]

Hi, Acton Bridge is open 24/7 and non staffed.. Access to the station from the main road onto to the platforms. Station lights go out from 1.02am to 4.05am usually an ideal time to snooze.
