What a lovely video. Reminds me of being a kid and waving from a bridge to the tube drivers at our local station. I am 63 now but still happy memories with my mum and dad❤️

Yeah, he loves it. There is a good group of young spotters in Cramlington. It looks like the hobby is getting more and more popular 😊

We're there so often, I think they recognise him. Hopefully, they recognise his safe and respectful behaviour as well which is being rewarded 😊

@@Tommys_Trains Good on you! I am ancient compared to you two and was a trainspotter in the late 1950s and the 1960s ( work it out; search the old black and white images - all short trousers, school uniforms, satchels, plastic macs, duffle coats etc. ) with no CCTV to spy on us but just making friends with the staff found on even the smallest station. The real point. In those days there were two television channels and the local cinema and a long running campaign of public safety films including warnings about the dangers around railways. Now with the massive plethora of media there is no equivalent. How about - watch out, is this either an opportunity or an unwanted burden - Tommy and Dad making a modern version. The dangers of being too close to a moving train, not pushing through a gap in fencing ( see the sad story below ), not climbing onto bridge parapets, care at public foot crossings and the notorious half or no barrier level crossings, not throwing things at power lines and anything else you can think of. Then push it on your media memberships and encourage others to pass it on. One day in the late 60s a younger boy who would sometimes hang around with us found a gap in the fencing of an alley that ran beside the line and stood too close to the track. Either his clothing was caught up or the disturbed air dragged him under a train with fatal consequences. The priest who ran one of our local boys clubs administered the last rights to what was left of him on the line and later we all read the gory details revealed at the inquest in the local papers. Even six decades later I get a cold shiver thinking of this life wasted in the space of a few seconds. What could he otherwise have achieved? To end on a more cheerful note - autumn heading into winter is the season to obtain the glaring coloured waterproofs and wellies needed for trackside vigils. Happy but safe spotting.

@@michaelcobb3347 that's a good idea. I have recently started working on the railway and have been told some grisly stories during my training. Thankfully, Tommy has me who is aware of the dangers and can pass the message on but others won't so it's a great idea. It'll take some planning but I'll put some thought into it. Thanks for the idea and kind words 😊

@@Tommys_Trains I really must be patient now and let you get on with work and family. I have railways in the younger generation - signalling - so I am more than aware that as the serious accident rate, eg. collisions after SPADs, has reduced so the number of incidents from the public misusing track or simply failing to understand the speed of approach of trains has become an even greater concern. After all, trains cannot swerve. I had a little over fifty years of working in school science so health and safety with youngsters in particular comes as a second nature concern to me. Your videos show that you and Tommy are familiar with a few other lads who might be able to help you with their families' permission so sniff out if any of them are interested. For you and all of them - as the nights close in remember the decades old advice - "Be Safe, Be Seen".

We saw it again yesterday (video uploading today). It was strange because they let it set off from Newcastle ahead of an LNER that was already running late delaying it further
