A night run certainly puts a different perspective on things. Thanks for uploading this.

Work on the railway based at Wickford as mobile patrol, saw both units fly by Wickford in the early hours when we clocked off 👍🏻 great content 😃

I was flat out doing the machines max speed of 60 when I went past there

[@MrTsVideoEmporium]

Sound was impressive 👌🏻

If I may ask, where is Mountnessing Jn to or from ? And where does junction just after Billericay go ?

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Mountnessing Jn is just a split to/from Shenfield as the up&down Southend lead to platform 1-3 and the loop goes under the main line and comes out into 4-5, the next Jn is at Wickford which heads to Southminster

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck ah I knew about the line that goes under the Ipswich main line, why didn't they switch you to use that instead of what like going across all four tracks. I will say one thing you really do need to know the route in the dark like that

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

we had to use it as there was a possession already on the mains and that was the only route open for us to get down there for the possession we was going to , I am going to start recording more routes at night so people can see the difference and drivers route learning can use the day and night videos to help them learn and they can see and compare both of them

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck I enjoy them all, did you record return trip ?

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Unfortunately I didn't not as this was a trial too see how it came out and if it would be useful, if I get enough good feed back then I will look at doing a lot more of them
