I was there today with my daughter, brilliant show of diesels, the noise going through the tunnels was just something else!!!

[@philclarke3203]

A great day , glad you both enjoyed it. They do tend to put the power on in the tunnels, for better sound😀

[@ashfaq1999]

Great video phil. Miss the days when these classic locomotives used to pass our homes across the chiltern line back in the 70’s & 80s.

[@philclarke3203]

Great video Phil. Action all the time. I have never seen it so busy on a Friday before, especially on the class 20 standing room only, glad for the railway so many went. After our brief Hi I did not see you again.

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks Colin. It was busy. I was on the first 37 heading back to Bury. At Ramsbottom everyone got off the passing train on to it too. Sorry I didn't get to see you again

@@philclarke3203 I have never seen it so busy on a Friday before, glad for the railway. Saturday was very busy as expected as well. My train there was about 20 late due to being diverted via Wakefield otherwise I would of caught the train you were on.

Gotta love the noise the deltic engine makes.

@@chrisplace9773 me too. Would have been great if there was a deltic here as well

[@SpoonyMcSpoonface]

Can’t say I like staff bellowing about the yellow line. Let’s hope it doesn’t spread throughout preservation.

[@philclarke3203]

Yes I know what you mean!! If only people had the sense and didn't need telling though 🤔

29:25 I believe this is the first east Lancashire visit by a class 70 after it made its debut visit during the Severn valley railway diesel gala

[@petersmith4455]

i presume a class70 diesel as the class 70 electric locos are no more.!

[@philclarke3203]

I've not heard of any more, so could well be.

[@philclarke3203]

​@@petersmith4455yes diesel. A long while since the original, electric, class 70s were scrapped

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

@@philclarke3203yes because I saw one freightliner 70 loco myself and it’s my first time seeing the 70 loco to ever try the Severn valley railway line
