Two Charters at Holywood and a Very Quiet Carlisle 25 04 24

[@tattoo1084]

Another good vid and nice to see the Pullman at Holywood, might try that spot myself one day. Makes a change to see a five at Carlisle. Hope the weather on the Ratty is good for you unlike some other times.👍

Sitting over breakfast at St Bees - weather horrible!

Thanks John. One of these days when the trains are actually running, we'll see you up here again. Best wishes.

Sorry to miss another day at the station, thank you for your videos it’s how I don’t miss out! 💖

Sorry to miss you Sam - hope to see you again soon.

The old station hotel in Ayr was demolished very recently, so strange to see the opened-up vista southwards as you approach from Burns Statue Square nowadays! Awesome aerial videography, some of your very best work I think.

The old Station Hotel - I stayed there once - ghastly place - not sorry to hear it's gone. Still mastering the drone. It's easy enough to fly - not so easy to keep it centred on a moving train, especially with that enormous mast right by the signal box! Best wishes.

You certainly caught the long view of the charter heading out of Carlisle! Nice one Tim

[@schoolshorts]

Thanks Les. That gap in the long departure scene was where the drone lost contact and started to come home. I managed to overcome it and sent it back on its way at a speed that amazed me but by now the train was too far away to be worth pursuing. Sitting typing this in the rain at Floriston l.c. en-route to Ratty.

@@schoolshorts I;d wondered what happened. A bit of deft editing and nobody really notices

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Another good video Tim. I was surprised how far you followed the Northern Belle before it became out of reach for your drone, and 3 fantastic shots of the Midland Pullman. I await the next video in anticipation, and enjoy your Bank Holiday Monday 👍

In rural areas with no buildings to interfere with the signal I could do better! Looking out of the window, the weather doesn't look promising for my visit to Ratty.

Fabulous mixture of trains and footage Tim. Great to see you as ever and have fun at Ravenglass & Eskdale. Kate x

[@schoolshorts]

Thanks Kate. I'll do my best but the weather isn't looking promising.

Nice they sent a Black 5 instead of Tangmere again. It is good to see the gates are looking a lot better than on your last visit to Holywood. It was a lovely day on Saturday hope it stays reasonable for you. I don't think it is going to be as good as Saturday all week.

Monday morning at St Bees - weather horrible!

[@cedarcam]

@@schoolshorts Aww It's fine where I am so far but looking like it will be rainy later with cloud coming from the West. Just getting ready to go to KWVR and hope to meet up with someone for a nice day out

[@jimmystransportmarvels8815]

Very nice, the railways don't seem to be at their best at the moment,with flooding and cancellations!

[@schoolshorts]

They 're certainly going through a tricky period - but it's happened before and they survived.

Excellent drone footage. Really shows Carlisle in a completely different light. A breakfast at Wetherspoon's - what's not to like😊 cheers Euan
