Makes all the difference filming on a clear sunny day. Such a picturesque line.

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Yes I was lucky with the weather that day

[@ZL54JK8]

What a treat to watch this video. I used to live in Oulton Broad and often used this line when travelling to Norwich. Interesting to see the view from the front. And what a lovely day. Nearing the coast you can almost feel the sea air!

@ZL54JK8 Thank you I was lucky with the weather when I recorded this and it is a lovely route to drive over

[@philipalldred333]

That is nice to here the sound of unwelded rails brings back the childhood past of rail travel to the southwest going on holidays

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Its a lovely sound but a bit ruff to drive over with a machine that does not have good suspension

[@ds1868]

Another great video thanks for posting. Also I find the timings in the intro really useful.

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

That's good to know thanks for watching

[@DavidWilliams7037A]

Thanks for this. Brings back memories of trips to Yarmouth and Lowestoft, usually behind a Claude. Good to see the countryside hasn't changed much. The WensumCurve was well used during the summer with excursion trains from the North and the Midlands hauled by a large variety of 'foreign' locos.

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Am glad you enjoyed the video thank you for watching

[@davidpanton3192]

Goodness, the platforms at Buckenham have some stagger...

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

@davidpanton3192 Yeah I don't really know the reason why it is like that

[@martyn6792]

Really nice video, again see moves we wouldn't normally see on a passenger train cab ride. Can I make a request, when you caption junctions, can you add line or from ? I know converging at Oulton Broad is from Ipswich. The stations look like they are stuck a time warp and the swing bridges, very pretty line

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Hi @martyn6792 I can have a look and see if I can add then into the next videos I will make but thank you for watching and asking

[@pinza55007]

Lovely large sunny skies over Norfolk. Do you still have a Pilotman aboard or are you the Pilotman?

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Hi @orsoncarte8536 Pilotman working is only introduced in certain circumstances but in this video I was conducting a driver over the route as he was learning the route

[@Aarong07]

was this a class 66

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

No it was a Plasser 08 compact tamper
