Some excellent filming there, and gosh 12 hours!, it's almost the same amount of time as a flight from London to America!

+Hornbylad200 Thanks! It was a long and tiring day that's for sure, though looking back I'd say it was entirely worth it!

The Golden Age of Abellio Greater Anglia as a Rail Operator, so much variety!

Was glad to get over there when I did, was a very enjoyable three months.

Definitely worth the trip down for the day! Very nicely done. Doesn't look like I missed a huge amount. I passed the Ilford light engine move just before Haughley Junction but didn't see what it was - looked like a 90 though. I guess you missed it.

[@Greensleeves94]

Thanks, you didn't miss much, the 47 going down and back was most of it. The 90 on the light engine move was 90008 which I missed due to being set up the wrong way and RTT not working (again!).

Bravo; a marathon indeed. Hugely enjoyable at what is a special place for me. One question, though. Why does the nuclear flask train, presumably en route to Sizewell, enter from the south on the up main line through Platform 2?

[@Greensleeves94]

John Collins Thank you, I was exhausted by the end of it! As for the flasks, I don't know sorry, I never saw them there

[@sam8alex12]

I Was thinking , must be Mad, twelve hours, But credit due, it was worth it. Thank you Brad, Take care

[@Greensleeves94]

Haha! I've had a couple of people say that now! I'd wanted to do a 12 hour stay either there or at Colchester for a while and get nearly everything that came along (I say nearly as I didn't video all of the 90 sets). It ends up being a lot more productive than a 12 hour sit out back home. That said though, I'd like to try one on the Western line when I return...

***** Great video there especially the Class 170s and the Class 90 expresses.

[@Greensleeves94]

uhegbu Thank you! I quite enjoyed this outing but was rather worn out by the time I got back to Colchester. Getting back to the UK is definitely on the list of things I want to do soon
