Water Orton never fails to impress me with the amount of traffic. Great video

[@antman09ful1]

Couldn't agree more mate.

[@paulbissitt4754]

If I only had 20% of the traffic coming through my local line I,d be a happy chappie.All your time and effort is very much appreciated.Cheers Mike and long may you continue.

[@antman09ful1]

Your comment is much appreciated Paul, as long as I can walk I will keep uploading and sharing my videos. Regards Mike.

[@scruffwoodscruffwood6505]

Love the camera work on the cement going under the footbridge .Another good video Mike

[@antman09ful1]

Good of you mate to keep watching my travelling about videos.

[@maimadha]

Seeing the freight was splendid

[@antman09ful1]

It does in the afternoon I think.

[@SimonTog]

Very nice done video Mike, lots of nice catches :)

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you very much Simon.

[@BrianSeaman]

What a great location Mike - and so much freight - I'm only jealous :) You had an excellent vantage point - great stuff. Cheers, Brian

[@antman09ful1]

I am lucky as I only live 20 mins away by car, its very good but I don't like to go there to much, as I like to film far and wide as you know Brian. ATB Mike.

[@barrythedieselelectricstea5217]

excellent variety of freight 👍

[@antman09ful1]

Yes indeed Barry, and thanks for your continued interest.

[@pmallenuk]

Good mix of footage there at the busy local

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks very much Paul 👍

[@RedShedNick]

Glorious, Mike, knew i would be stressed out at this! Yes your right they just kept on coming and coming! The first clip of Redshed could have done with a damned good clean! What a location even a mecca for top quality freight action! As i expected hugely enjoyed, loved it! Have a great warm weekend, regards Nick.Oh the gb crossover was sublime almost unreal, what a great stroke of luck that was!

[@antman09ful1]

Yes I was pleased Nick I had my camcorder with me, so I stopped of for about a hour as I was only twenty mins from home, thanks very much for your nice comment, ATB Mike.

Water Orton I Absolutely Love D Name ckd Google n Warwickshire a mouthful n looks beautiful locations etc. tks Mike so much Tesco Again We don't habe them in rails here only 5million population Brian

[@antman09ful1]

Yeah Brian Water Orton is a great place for trains.

[@oldfart6318]

Eee lad, that were reet busy. I'm guessing about an hours worth. Great video.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes that was about a hour OldFart, thanks for watching.

[@benGBRf]

Mike you know I love this place and your video is superb and makes me love there more. Great filming at 4:25

[@antman09ful1]

Thank you Ben, I am really trying hard to keep away from WO, yes two of your lot together.

[@I-T-S-M-E]

Great catch Mike, fantastic freight video - Love it.

[@antman09ful1]

Oh you have gone back and found this video from March, nice one, and thanks for your comment.

[@ianthompson5197]

I have been to Water Orton Stn quite a few times, it's a good Stn for freight trains as well as passenger trains. I used to cycle from Coventry to Water Orton. But now I am In the South West of England. It's a bit far for me to go there now.

[@antman09ful1]

Oh yes Ian its a bit to far from the West of England to cycle there, but fair play to you cycling from Coventry in the past. Yes its still a good station for as you say freight trains but now at as good for passenger trains as we only get two HST workings each way, and no 47s like we used to get on crosscountry services. Thanks for watching. Mike.

[@37418]

Awesome Mike Continue your Great Work mate 👍👍

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks, will do my best Kev, and thanks for comment.

[@stevieb55]

Excellent video! Would make a good site for a Rail Cam camera! Also has anyone else noticed the DB 66’s in EWS colours are starting to look very tatty! I saw the Gypsum train in York and it was filthy, couldn’t even see the number!

[@antman09ful1]

You are right about some of the DB shed being very dirty, I would understand if it was December but not now in March Stevie, cheers for your comment.

[@markjosephbudgieridgard]

Wow Mike you had an amazing day out what a great variety of freight traffic.... My favourite was the cement train.... Great stuff you keep delivering Mike 👍👍👍

[@antman09ful1]

Mark I was only there about a hour, I was lucky I had my camcorder with me, cheers for your comment.

[@aviationtrainsfc1]

Nice! Loads of variety and action there. Really enjoyed!

[@antman09ful1]

I was happy I stopped off for this short visit matey.

[@robertbate5790]

Nice one Mike, but I wonder how you would do if you went on purpose, lol. 🤣🤣👍👍

[@antman09ful1]

Well Robert all I would say is I would have been there two hours at least.

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Great video as always Mike, Great capture of the 70👍👍👍

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks ENC, maybe I shouldn't have stopped. lol

[@TrainTraction]

Another spectacular session there Mike! Wow! Amazing shots and captures there! Glad you caught these! Lovely workings and crossovers! Nice 170s in the mix of freights! Superb variety and action! Excellent detailing and camera work! Great stuff! Top class! No faults at all! Well done! Water Orton is a good one, you chose a good time to go! I loved the Hope tankers! Good engineer at the end too! Some of the shots and captures you get are wonderful! Very nice indeed! Loooooooooooooved it! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie

[@antman09ful1]

[@allan5919]

A super collection of freight workings Mike, nicely captured.

[@antman09ful1]

[@markarnold8160]

[@antman09ful1]

Terrible wasn't it Mark.

[@jefflloyd7308]

Due there Wednesday.i Often wonder how many rail enthusiast would be present if the station had a decent stopping service.great shots Mike

[@antman09ful1]

That is a interesting point Jeff, thanks for your interest in my latest video. Where can I go this week on Thursday or Friday as the weather should be ok.

[@featherwheels9652]

Nice capture Mike, I will have to pay a visit to Water Orton if I'm ever in the area

[@antman09ful1]

You should, its normally good most days. Cheers for watching.

[@bryannewman5012]

Good advert for rail freight Mike.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes indeed Bryan, Water Orton is like a crossroads.

[@37263gen]

Great Video, Do HST's Still Pass Through On XC ?

[@antman09ful1]

Good.

[@colingarwood9971]

Great piece of filming Mike, i liked the way you caught the cement coming round the curve. Out of interest, is the pub still there ? i don't recall that car park being so big.

[@antman09ful1]

Oh yes Colin the pub is still there and now doing breakfasts.

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Great freight trains Mike.

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks you for watching my video Sam.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Better Mike cheaper safer by freight? d grey cars are funny dip n d middle yere blessed n England to hv so much trains brian a Big Fan

[@antman09ful1]

Thanks for having a watch.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Nice to catch a 70 on the cement and 66126 in DRS livery (painted in blue colours)

[@antman09ful1]

Its always good to film a class 70 Arnold, I love the sound of them when they are powering along. Cheers Mike.

[@johnwhitehouse9885]

Thank you. Another video enjoyed Can I ask. Do you ever video from the Station. Top end. Great video. Thanks again.

[@antman09ful1]

Yes I do John, I did some late night early morning filming in the dark a few months back. I used to go more before the weeds took over the end of the platform.

[@terencesheppard6207]

Why are so many intermodal trains inefficiently loaded, especially those operated by Freightliner, resulting in the locos hauling empty trailer units ?

[@antman09ful1]

That I can only guess i's the way the world is at the moment Terence.

[@alanbarkley9847]

I would suspect with scheduled running the train leaves to a time rather than full loading . The same rake of wagons will stay together for a week or so.

[@davidbailey533]

Is where u were used to have a station by any chance

[@antman09ful1]

It does have a station David as you can see the platform in this video.

[@davidbailey533]
