Acton Bridge Station 05/06/13

Brilliant action Steve. What a selection. Liked the wobble that one light engine 665 gave. All the best...Tim.

[@Gwril76]

Fantastic footage Steve once again. Nice to see plenty of 86's working again. Cheers for sharing mate.

Excellent video, good variety of traction - you were up at crack of dawn to capture these workings! Back in 80/90s when I was spending all day at Crewe, I would move up to Acton Bridge for a couple of hours. Saw some great traction and workings then - all in rail blue, InterCity or Railfreight. Saw everything from doubleheaded 25s to 31, 40, 47 and most AC locos from 81 - 90s - plus the lovely whine of the 304s on the Crewe - Liverpool locals! Bliss! Thanks for all your hard work putting this and the others together and posting them - much appreciated.

+055deltic Thank you for your kind comments, and superb times you reference there with the diesel & AC traction loco hauled in the 80's and 90's. Sadly not too many of the locos you mention are still operating, it all seems very generic these days, certainly for passenger services. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching Ken, hope it's whetted your appetite for a possible visit whilst your down this way soon!? Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching mate, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Glad you enjoyed mate, thanks for watching... cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks mate, the sleeper was actually early as it passed me at 0516 and it's booked time is 0523. Just a nice bonus thanks to the early light as we head towards the longest day :)

Superb video Steve and amazing variety of traffic - you've got me drooling mate! I never realised the Caley Beds loaded to 16 coaches on 1M16 with 90021. Some of the locos looked like they were on a bouncy castle and thought 66570 was going to jump off the tracks!! Liked the roar off 70018 and 31190, great selection of AC power and the tones! Engineer's trains seem such a waste for a 70 don't you think? Great "near miss" on the last clip! Thanks for a great show! Ken

[@antman09ful1]

Excellent video collection from you early morning visit Steve.

[@84asrd84boxy]

Amazing stuff Steve, what a mix of Loco's, brilliant, I would call that Paradise at Acton Bridge, I think the P/way need to take a look at that bit just under the bridge, the Loco's certainly bounce around a little, thanks for sharing, it's a like, cheers...Bill

[@sankeyvideo]

Really good video Steve. One of your best. Nice mix of traffic and a good selection of light engine moves. Cheers Aidy

[@steve71p]

Thanks Aidy, probably my most favourite ACB session simply for the great conditions & pure variety that morning. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching, was back there yesterday morning so will get that one uploaded soon. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks Bill, it was a great session and I was there a lot earlier than normal just taking advantage of the longer day at this time of year. I have a mate who is a fellow KZbinr & also works P/Way and I will give him a shout to take a look as that section has certainly seems to have got a lot worse. Cheers, Steve.

[@bbattersby]

A superb selection there Steve.

[@BritishRail60062]

Excellent video there Steve, you have given me another spot to film train at this year :). Ash.

[@steve71p]

Thanks Ash, yes I would definitely recommend a trip here. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching Freddy, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Many thanks Mike, cheers Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching, if there are more than five people waiting on a platform then it's a busy day here... usually there are more enthusiasts than passengers :)

[@steve71p]

Thanks Tim, looks like that section of track promoting the wobble needs some attention. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching Steve, yes I am a big fan of the DBS red on the 90's too. The splash of paint is giving the fleet a new lease of life from the old EWS livery. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Yes mate, it was approx 5 hours early morning. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks very much, cheers Steve.

[@CoventryCitylad97]

Fantastic footage mate! A lot of freight for early morning, keep it up :-)

[@steve71p]

I would think that DBS have the extra loco for insurance in case the lead loco fails, but the timings of this working must be for a single loco hence the 92 being dragged DIT.

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Some great stuff on here Steve and looks a good place to film.....Trevor.''

[@steve71p]

+Trevor Ledgeway Thanks Trevor, yes it's quite busy (by modern standards) and usually plenty of variety passing through. Cheers, Steve.

[@steve71p]

Thanks mate, cheers Steve.

[@TINSLEYtraction]

one word matey,,,BRILLIANT.

[@steve71p]

Very lucky yes, also lucky I hadn't already panned around too as I didn't see or hear the Pendo!!!

[@markappleby3282]

Brilliant video. Is it that busy the whole day. Might pay the place a visit.

[@steve71p]

Thank you, it's not that busy all day but early mornings and evenings are probably the best times.

[@steve71p]

Cheers Scott, most appreciated mate :)

[@georgobrowno5857]

Nice one of the best i have ever seen

[@steve71p]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching.

[@BremerSchieneHDTV]

great Footage,nice Film,nice Sounds,nice Loco´s ! :) very good ! Greetz Freddy

[@Taperet]

Nice job, as usual. Well done ;)

[@AndreiTupolev]

Heavens, it must be early, to catch the Sleeper coming through. I wonder why 90029 was dragging the 92 about back & forth.

[@LDEGM]

Very nice rail video!:)

[@MPDTransport]

The first freight train was extremely long

[@thomasnirtrainmannorton3254]

awesome video

[@AndreiTupolev]

Ooh, very very lucky in the last shot. To catch a 92 working was lucky enough, but to escape getting bowled that closely even more so.

[@matthewlamb3948]

We're was the 175 going

[@DanielMartin-zf2xe]

Wicked vid m8

[@steve71p]

[@chanzyism]

[@EssexGayBoi]

Cracking vid, some cool stuff going through there, though am quite disturbed by the gap inbetween the yellow lines on the platform, where would every one fit if it was packed lol

[@EssexGayBoi]

Ahh rite I see, cool. Keep up the good work :D

[@steve71p]

Thanks for watching mate, cheers Steve.
