TRAINS AT VIDEOS:
• Where possible I try to stay an hour or so at a station - ideally in one session, occasionally two - but always on the same day.
• All of my ‘Trains At’ videos can be found on the following playlist: • Trains At Series
• There will always be plenty of unique footage in the ‘trains at’ videos which will not be published as shorter videos.

Great video of trains and Oxford including 44871 and 7029

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Thanks - yeah it was too good an opportunity to miss having double steam within an hour of one another!

[@EvoBlue66]

Great footage and video! I can’t plane spot today… Because of the weather, it’s really rainy and very cloudy… I usually tend to upload on Fridays or weekends, but I’m only saying this because people question me when I upload. So I thought it’s better if explain, this to everyone… 🙂

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Thanks! That’s fair - it was bright sunshine here today 😂

[@EvoBlue66]

@@AnthonyFurnival What?! Lol I wish I had your weather! 😡 🤣

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@EvoBlue66 haha - looks like we have sunshine in the forecast for the next few days! If you check my video released earlier of the class 47s or the class 67 trains - you’ll see how nice it was here weather wise 🙂

[@EvoBlue66]

@@AnthonyFurnival Yes… again I wish it was like that here too! Lol 😁 It’s all good though, no worries…

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@EvoBlue66 hate to break the news to you… bright sunshine here today again!

[@GTRRailwaysTrainspotter]

Nice to see Black 5 in there

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Thanks - double steam is a rarity so I was pleased to capture that there

[@Trainspotter4002]

Great video!

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun that day… the two steam trains you see here plus I saw Clan Line elsewhere that day!

[@maimadha]

Fantastic video

@@AnthonyFurnival I did but can you leave the train information on the screen a bit longer please

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@Zuuu40 I wish I could but annoyingly it’s either on for the whole clip or that amount if time - there doesn’t seem to be a way to extend the default time for text - it is something which bugs me a lot too but I’ve not found a way to get round this issue with the editing app that I use.

[@Zuuu40]

@@AnthonyFurnival no worries

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@Zuuu40 if I discover a way to do it, I definitely will as it’s always irritates me too! Especially given how much text there is to read.
