Thank you for another enjoyable day out ! What a kind Conductor on the Bletchley train to ensure your train arrived in Platform 5 ! Well done.

I enjoyed the trip - thanks Keith. Cheers, Brian 👍🙂

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Glad to hear. thank you

[@MrDeltic15]

Somehow knew when you said you were going to the cafe that a freight would pass! Nice selection of passenger and freight workings there. 37510 with the c2c 720 was the Wembley to Derby you mentioned. The West Midlands units at Bletchley are stored between test runs prior to being introduced into service. The EMR 360 behind GBRf 47 is a regular move between Cricklewood to Northampton to service the 360s at the Northampton EMD Siemens depot.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

By golly your a mind of information.. Thank you very much

[@antman09ful1]

Great to see you got a new unit on your video.

Shame they kept the 3 + 2 seating on the 360s now they are working InterCity. Good trains though as we had them out of Liverpool Street to Ipswich.

Great variety of freights you caught there Keith, you chose a good day for sure! A track machine for you and a Redshed for me haha! When was this Keith? Another great session and enjoyed as we always do, cheers Nick.

Great video today, Keith! What was the first freight (that you so cleverly arranged for us to see three times)? I recognized the water train, Royal Mail, and the usual variety, but did not know about the first. Thank you once again for creating these wonderful videos! They’d be far less enjoyable absent your intelligent and witty commentary. Best to you and Lady June! Stay well!

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

OOOO' look again at 3m24sec and its on screen. Cheers

[@bugelfalte6320]

Great video Keith! It is always a pleasure to see your footage and to hear your voice. That day was lovely weather at your place. I made a new video about Cologne, with the famaous Hohenzollern bridge. Maybe you are interested to watch it. I would apperciate it a lot. Thanks ans all the best from Franconia. 🤗

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Glad you enjoyed it. I have viewed your video. 👍

[@Dunco3550]

These new passenger trains are all so boring and predictable. I much preferred the rattly, dirty old Class 117s/121s that used to run between Bedford and Bletchley. Although I guess that I'm in the minority remembering the annoyance that people used to suffer with regular train breakdowns on an almost daily basis lol

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Cheers Dunco. They still break down apparently but I have been lucky,
