WAS this my LAST trip to Norfolk to film these great locos ???

These locos just keep on working to Great Yarmouth and Lowerstoft, but the big question is when will they not be needed. Filmed on August 6th 2019

[@darrenstracey2248]

Nice capture my friend you always know when these beasts were about because you always heard them before you saw them shame they are going awsome machines

[@antman09ful1]

I wish I did know everyday they are working Darren, I’ve had my bad days when traveled many miles to Norwich and they have not moved. Thank you for watching Darren. Mike.

[@dieselmanmike]

Some great moving shots of these fine machines. Great video !

[@antman09ful1]

Yes Mike I too love to film these top locos. thank you for your interest in this video.

[@personwhotalkstomuch4898]

My son Josh was very lucky as he went yesterday (sat 14 sep) and managed to get 2 return trips on the Werry Lines from Lowestoft to Norwich behind Avro Vulcan & Lord Hinton. He actually went down to Suffolk to go on a tour around 1 of the old signal boxes before they go out of service with the new signalling.

[@antman09ful1]

That was a brilliant day for him yesterday, if he took footage of the box I would like to see it.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

you obviously put in a great effort to give us this video.Well appreciated..

[@antman09ful1]

Well Keith it’s a long way to go for me having to start off at four in the morning, so I was very pleased they worked on this day, as the next day they didn’t work. So if I go again it will be by train.

[@allcarspares6321]

Brilliant video, such a shame they are being replaced, you via hear them for miles.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes I will miss them in Norfolk but not the 300 plus miles round trip it was for me.

[@rossbolton9966]

Fine versatile locos, thanks for your efforts,rgds

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you very much Ross for watching my video. Regards Mike.

[@KyleLaw19]

Great collection from your recent visit to Norfolk, Mike. Very enjoyable. Always risky going for these now, especially having to travel a long distance, but it was definitely worth it for you.

[@antman09ful1]

It has happened to me Kyle, went to Norwich one Saturday and the 37s never moved. But this was my last car trip and it payed off. Thanks Kyle for you comment. Regards Mike.

[@allan5919]

Super class 37 action Mike. Hope you had a great trip. Cheers - Allan.

[@antman09ful1]

Well Allan it’s a hit or miss chance the might work, and I was lucky the day I went. Thanks for your interest, Regards Mike

[@UKTransportVideos82]

Nice one of the 37s and new units mike

[@antman09ful1]

Cheers for watching Andrew, might try one more time.

[@westmidlandsrailenthusiast]

Great as always Mike, regards wmre.

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks for your continued interest in my videos were.

[@dreadnought50001]

Some great 37 action there mike look an enjoyable day out

[@antman09ful1]

Yes mate I was very lucky that they worked on this visit, as I’ve been and failed with them.

[@bryannewman5012]

You’re trip to Norfolk was certainly worthwhile,there’s some fine shots there Mike. The 37’s look absolutely immaculate.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes it was definitely my last car trip as I’m putting to many miles on the car this year Bryan. The problem is now which has already happened to me is there is no guarantee they will be working when you get there. But thanks very much for watching. Regards Mike.

[@maimadha]

Norfolk was great for seeing these terrific locos

[@antman09ful1]

Was great.

[@bellawilliams397]

Hi Mike, lovely video, as usual..I saw them at Yarmouth today (lord hinton) + (avro vulcan), used a new phone to filmed and realised too large I was filming when I thought I had stopped and was not filming when I thought I was..getting Old..all ruined..

[@antman09ful1]

That is bad luck Bella, you was lucky to Have seen them as they didn’t work yesterday. and only for a short time on Monday. Thank you for watching my video, Regards Mike.

[@SimonTog]

Good video Mike :)

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you Simon.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Great classic locomotives 👍🏻

[@antman09ful1]

I just love filming them, thanks for taking a look.

[@gycuk1173]

I can confirm tonite they are still going by my window at home lol

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks Jonathan for your update, I’m told this should be the last week so I better get over there again. Regards Mike

[@ImranHabibRehman]

awesome

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks for watching.

[@ufx808]

Those 37's couldn't have working very hard. Great video, thanks.

[@antman09ful1]

No they don’t but they do sound fantastic mate.

[@pantograf460channel3]

Two carriages, two 37s:) For me the best consist which can be filmed in UK:) Thumb up;)

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you very much for watching my video.

[@edwardbarnes2702]

Some lovely classic filming with modern, and lovely Classic signalling, sad to see it go.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes it will be very sad for me when these great locos finish on this route, thanks very much for watching Edward.

[@deauvilledad07]

Another awesome video Mike, sorry the weather turned ify. I think you'll be back, can't see the new u it's being jn service before the end of October. 🤓🤓🏍️🚂

[@antman09ful1]

It’s that the latest local info Anthony, the problem is it’s a hit and miss situation now.

[@deauvilledad07]

Mike that's just a feeling I've got 🤓🤓

[@doveronefoxtrot4417]

Once the regular on BR services, now even that doesn't exist, how far we have come.

[@antman09ful1]

Well its called progress I believe mate. Thanks for looking and commenting on my video.

[@GWR-fd1up]

Nice video, I hope it wasn't the last time! Any chance they'll be running in December? That's when I'm next visiting. If not then I managed to get a nice shot of what was the last time I'll ever have seen one, wgen I was there a few weeks ago - Avro Vulcan and Lord Hinton thrashing out of Lingwood with a tone, dissappearing into the sunset!

[@antman09ful1]

Well that’s a million dollar question mate as they should of finished in June and they still run some days. Thanks for taking a look.

[@jamesburnside3023]

Something about these units that to me screams Britain. so cool

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks for watching my video James which I appreciate very much.

[@suffolkpompey]

1:14, the owner wants to keep walking, but the dog thinks "hang on, there's one of the new FLIRT units".

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks for watching and I like your comment Mike.

[@rondobson9774]

The class 37s are slowly being done away for scrap this year and next which is a pity as they are good work horses on the railway

[@antman09ful1]

I hope you are wrong Ron as they are needed for test trains, but I believe some will go unless preservation society have them. We will have to see but thank you for watching my video. Regards Mike.

[@robmasterman]

Fantastic coverage of these loco hauled services in East Anglia..Regards...Bob

[@antman09ful1]

Bob I’ve had some fantastic days, but also some disappointments when I’ve travelled all that way and they haven’t moved. So this last car trip was a bonus for me when they started working from 08.30. So pleased you enjoyed this special video Bob. regards Mike.

[@fdx840]

Sweet; no 37 sweet.

[@antman09ful1]

YES

[@shaunwakefield9793]

Did I read That Blackpool Tower has returned to the North?

[@antman09ful1]

Yes Shaun both of the locos in this video have gone back North.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Well I hope it wont be your last trip to Norfolk :-( . There must still be some Spoons you haven't covered

[@antman09ful1]

Well I would like to go again but if I do it will be by train, regarding the Spoons Norfolk is seen done unless they open a new one AT. Thank you for watching my video.

[@DaveInBridport]

Why is there 2 37s top and tailing 2 carriages and both are powered up? Sledgehammer to crack a nut.

[@antman09ful1]

So they don’t have to run round the stock and loose time.

[@DaveInBridport]

@@antman09ful1 makes sense I suppose but the extra fuel used must be costly

[@davidjones3758]

Those37s awesome diesels not like the crap that turned up.

[@Gideonsmythe]

From an enthusiast point of view, the Stadlers are getting a lot of love. From a passenger point of view, the Stadlers are superb and that is, after all, who they were built for.

[@antman09ful1]

David like you I like the old stuff, but Mike is right.

[@davidjones3758]

Why insult the 37s top and tailing 2 coaches,they where built for better operations than that.

[@Clunsey13]

david jones it’s not an insult, they have to maintain the same diagram as the units they are standing in for, therefore two locos are used for the acceleration between stations and also to negate the need to do loco run rounds at the end of each journey.

[@antman09ful1]

I think it’s all been said David.
