UK - Scotsman on The Yorkshireman, Chesterfield, 30/6/2018

I apologise for my poor camera work in this .... I have many excuses for you but I get it a little wrong nevertheless !
Ex.LNER pacific 60103 Flying Scotsman headed "The Yorkshireman" from Ealing Broadway to York on 30th June, 2018.
Class 47 diesel number 47580 ran behind the A3 and did most of the work. The UK is currently in the middle of a prolonged heatwave and the steam loco had to do as little work as possible in order to avoid the risk of starting fires - a real shame.
The sequence at Chesterfield station is preceded by a few shots of local and long distance service trains stopping at the station.
The famous "Crooked Spire" of Chesterfield Parish Church can be clearly seen from the bridge just north of the station.

Don't you know Andy the LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman is one of the earliest steam locomotives?

Eason, the first steam locomotive was built in the UK in 1802. Flying Scotsman was built in 1923 ..... 121 years later!! Andy

There were a LOT of spotters on the footbridge with me - too many to handle the camcorder properly !! Andy

wish my camera work was that bad !!!!!

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

Haha. Thank you so much. There are a couple of silly mistakes I made but maybe they're more obvious to me! Andy

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

Thanks for your comment. Did you get a good shot at Kettering? Andy

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXi5dqucqLqXitU well that's the link for it, see for yourself, personally I was pleased, especially with the departing shot. Was worth getting up early for.

You have an interesting style Damien. I'm not sure I'd like to feature so much in my own videos. Maybe I should! Andy

[@DamiensTrainsandTravels]

Fair enough, I never used to appear in them, but then a girl said to me (not a relationship just a friend, not that it matters) she said to me "well you get so many views, you might as well share the "fame" you should appear as well as hear your voice". It got me thinking and what you see is the final result.

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

My wife Dandan appears in a few, but she's considerably more photogenic than I am! Maybe I might give it a try though if I think there's a suitable event. Cheers, Andy
