Rainy Day at Manningtree, GEML | 01/12/18

[@Big_manCov]

Great video mate and lucky you seeing those 86s on Coatbridge to Felixstowe. They normally take the 86s off at Crewe.

[@matthewweller1806]

Great action! I was in Ipswich, where it was raining a lot more! Just left before the class 86s came through. Glad you captured them!

[@austinyingst5902]

Good stuff in spite of the raunchy-looking weather. Thanks.

[@Trainspotter11_]

Another fantastic video here! I really Enjoyed this :)

[@Brandon-gf2lu]

Will miss getting a 90 connection at Manningtree

[@mrkeats5728]

Cool Vid. Enjoyed those Class 90s

[@Desiro360]

Fantastic video which I really enjoyed. Was surprised to see that the Ipswich - London commuter services were all 12 coaches. :)

[@RichardChalklin]

Desiro360 Same for me to. I thought they were only 8 cars to/from Ipswich on Saturday

[@thegreateasterntrainspotte8760]

They have started running 12-car trains only recently on weekends to Ipswich, they terminate on platform 3, the Peterborough services runs empty into the loop until the Norwich train departs platform 4 instead of platform 3. Not sure why they've started running 12-car services to Ipswich on weekends though.

[@Desiro360]

Ah I see, thank you very much for this information. I reckon the 12 coach trains are being run on weekends to provide extra capacity over the Christmas period.

[@Elizabeth-xo5vc]

4:09 oh wow an FCC liveried class 321408!

[@michaelloker785]

It's strange to see a class 360 on the Harwich line that normally operated by a 321

[@thegreateasterntrainspotte8760]

A 321 usually runs the service throughout the week, on weekends it usually gets operated by a 360

Nice one mate 👍👍

[@RichardChalklin]

ModernECML Thanks! It was a pleasure to see you at Ipswich!

[@thomaspalmer1019]

14:49 why do they always have two engines powering at either end of those trains?

[@RichardChalklin]

Thomas Palmer because they do a lot of reversing

[@thomaspalmer1019]

@@RichardChalklin oh so is it so that the train can go both ways?

[@RichardChalklin]

Thomas Palmer Yes

[@thomasnorton2679]

Splendid film Richard, did you get a sausage bap from the cafe on the station cause if you didn't, you don't know what you're missing out on, thumbs up from me mate

[@RichardChalklin]

Thomas Norton Thanks! I did end up going in there. However I only wanted some chips which they didn't serve at that time of day

[@ridefast0]

Thanks, nice video. So - every main line passenger train stopped at Manningtree? I remember passing through at 70mph or so a while ago ... acceleration seems better with the EMU than the class 90s.

[@RichardChalklin]

ridefast0 That must of been a weekday. There are peak time passenger skippers at Manningtree in the morning and evening only on weekdays.

[@kv.voyage]

Hey Richard, remember I asked you about the camera you were using? What model is it? Is it still on sale somewhere, and what is it's price? Thanks~

[@RichardChalklin]

Sir Quack It is a Panasonic HC-VX870

[@kv.voyage]

Also, the video editor you were using... what is it? Where can I download it? Sorry if I'm asking too much.

[@RichardChalklin]

Sir Quack Windows Movie Maker

[@kv.voyage]

Richard, is it still available for download?

[@RichardChalklin]

Sir Quack Yes
