Photographing trains Yorkshire Pennines - Transpennine Calder Valley Diversion

[@d_r_watson]

Another great video. I think that’s my favourite line to travel on, so it was great to see it from another perspective.

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks Daniel, glad it was useful and there's so much more to explore along the Calder Valley line.

[@DJR916]

Thanks Andrew, always enjoy watching your content, keep up the good work👍

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks for the encouragement Darren, it's appreciated.

[@marksingleton5176]

Always a great video, always great scenery, always a fun video to watch thank you Andrew, 🎉🎉🎉

[@AndrewShenton]

Thank you, Mark, up here in the Pennines is a personal favourite spot, any time of the year.

[@martincole6654]

Andrew Shenton. The happiest guy on KZbin. Thankyou for another great video.

[@AndrewShenton]

Wow, thanks - I can be a miserable bugger too!!!

[@IronHorseRailways]

Lovely compositions there Andrew, glad to see you back with another video 😊 I do love a class 68😊

[@AndrewShenton]

Glad you enjoyed it and it’s a great part of the world, those 68’s are something arn't they.

[@4NDREWWHITE]

Excellent to have you back Andrew, I always look forward to your videos 👍

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks, Andrew thats appreciated.

[@andyhoare9924]

Great stuff Andrew, really enjoyed this video - more please!

[@AndrewShenton]

I'm on with it!!

[@NothingToDismay]

Always great to see a notification for a new video from your channel Andrew!

[@AndrewShenton]

Much appreciated Sean.

[@Transpennine]

Great video! It would be good to see Transpennine trains come through here in normal times!

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks, I guess Transpennine trains will become a regular feature during the upgrade of the Huddersfield route.

[@bodders306]

Great stuff again Andrew with some ethereal music in there

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks Mark, you’ve noticed - I’ve updated the music library!

[@kevindelaney7852]

Bang on, Andrew - good to see back on the old KZbin thing.

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks, Kevin, aye I’m back at it again.

[@yumenekotrain]

A train that runs through nature is nice 👍

[@AndrewShenton]

Thank you, this is a rather special part of the world- this railway was the first over the Pennine Hills built in 1840.

[@Steve-yw8rw]

Great video Andrew. The photos prove that the hiking effort is worth it! Lovely scenery, a delight to watch all round!

[@AndrewShenton]

Glad you enjoyed it Steve, a great area to explore, with quite a variety of scenes

[@nicholashall8294]

More spectacular locations and great photographs. Thanks Andrew.

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks Nicholas.

[@andrewhowe555]

Fantastic video Andrew. Some amazing shots and compositions. I have got many great shots at Hebden Bridge, lots of great shots in and around the Station, particularly the lovely old signs and signal box. Great work 🚂😊📷

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanksAndrew, yes i’ve seen plenty of your lovely Hebden Bridge shots.

[@sjpowermac]

Fantastic video, you’ve shown some brilliant locations and all put together in your usual very engaging style. Thoroughly enjoyed and a thumbs up from me.

[@AndrewShenton]

Greatly appreciated Simon, you of course were the catalyst for this one - so many thanks for the heads up and information.

[@brianirving5889]

Once again Andrew, very entertaining. I must get down to the Calder Valley, it seems to have many 'portholes' into the network!

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks Brian, It's a great stretch of line, with a real variety of traffic.

[@michaelpage5621]

Excellent video from one of my favourite stomping grounds, although this area is very overgrown in the Summer, much better in late Autumn, Winter and Spring.

[@AndrewShenton]

Totally agree Michael, my last two visits up here were in late November with the wonderful autumn colours and in March before the leaves came back - if honest I do struggle in summer getting a pleasing shot with all the greenery.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Do love diversions seeing workings or trains that you don't see on different routes, awesome video.

[@AndrewShenton]

Thank you very much Simon, I really appreciate your support.

[@flippop101]

Wonderful video with some superb editing.

[@AndrewShenton]

Thank you very much Philip, editing is alway tricky to try keep the flow.

[@DefAde]

HIT THE LIKE BUTTON FOLKS. Andrew deserves to get more views, but wont get highlighted by the KZbin algorithm without your help.

[@AndrewShenton]

Too kind!! you’re efforts are greatly appreciated though.

[@johnlawrence5757]

Ps nice to have you back filming again

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks - I’ve generated a long list of ideas- so hopefully the videos keep rolling for a while.

[@jameswells3508]

Another video! Love to see it.

[@AndrewShenton]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@darrylbond5238]

Nicely done as usual! I enjoyed my trip there are few years back. Didn't stumble upon all the places you presented though!

[@AndrewShenton]

Glad to hear that Darryl, it's a lovely part of the world up there.

[@peterdovey5182]

Another well filmed and edited episode of your efforts Andrew, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@AndrewShenton]

Glad you enjoyed it Peter, I enjoyed the day out which was all fairly relaxed really.

[@adrianj1829]

Another great piece of filming Andrew. Really enjoyed this one as it’s my local line. Thank you so much for sharing. You do find some interesting photo spots along the way. Thank you and looking forward to the next one.

[@AndrewShenton]

Glad you enjoyed it Adrian, it’s both a challenge and part of the enjoyment hunting out locations, some work magnificently and other spots are just a disappointment - all part of the fun.

[@peterkazmierczak7273]

Some different locations, Andrew. My favourite shot is at 5:40. Always very interesting. The brooding soundtrack is most appropriate too. With my pedantic hat on, the trains are IETs, not IEPs. IET = Inter-City Express Train (the actual vehicles) IEP = Inter-City Express Programme (the whole project) Regards, as ever.

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks Peter, plenty of views to go at along here. I’m with you on the IEP IET, personally I don’t like either acronym, plus I can’t remember whether these are Nova 1, 2 or 3, so i’ll have to stick with 802 for the Transpennine ones. Its easy on the East Coast with Azuma!!

[@linesided]

New subscriber - very interesting perspective on trainspotting and the surroundings. Great job!

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks and welcome Jonathan, I hope you find something of interest.

[@johnlawrence5757]

Yet another great vid andrew but you have been they before If I remember hahahaha still a great vid like keep them comeing sir

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks 👍 John, yes I came up this way last November, but i’ve tried not to duplicate too many locations.

[@benGBRf]

Great shots Andrew. The effort you put into getting these Great shots is very impressive and it's like an adventure. Thank you for sharing. All the best. Ben

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks Ben, I’ve been doing these sort of days out for years and yes they’re great fun, a creative outlet and sometime an adventure, filming myself adds another level to the creativity.

[@andrewhopwood500]

Great to see you back again with two recent videos, really missed your content for that long break you had away. Thanks for your time and effort bringing this fabulous content to us all.

[@AndrewShenton]

That is much appreciated Andrew, I hope to keep going with regular(ish) videos now, i’ve prepared quite a list of ideas for the coming months.

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Another brilliant video, Andrew! Hopefully you'll hit a thousand subscribers soon.

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks, I’m amazed that theres 100 people interested in my ramblings never mind 1000!

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

@@AndrewShenton Your ramblings are inspiring and really well edited together! You're the reason I even bothered attempting railway Photography. I did a terrible little vlog on my channel inspired by your channel taking photos in my area, hopefully I'll reach your level one day!

[@Thebigfour1923]

It's funny I now all these locations since I live in tod

[@AndrewShenton]

A nice part of the world, I do enjoy it up there.

[@4_findlay]

Great video if you don't mind me asking how do you track what train to expect on each line..??

[@AndrewShenton]

Many thanks, I use two websites for tracking trains, realtimetrains.co.uk and Railcam, I use railcam for the track diagrams which shows all the train movements.

[@weatheroakwanderer5941]

Great vid as usual Andrew.......btw, I was thinking of starting filming, which microphone do you use ?

[@AndrewShenton]

Thanks, I use a Rode Wireless go 2 as a personal mic then I’ve another Rode mic on the main video camera. Good luck, I find getting good sound is one of the hardest parts of filming, especially when windy.
