HST on the Swanage Railway - The Last CrossCountry HST 125 to run on the Mainline
CrossCountry brought down the final curtain of HST-operated services by running a farewell charity special from Leeds to Swanage with 43007 in BR blue-grey livery and 43008 in Intercity Swallow livery doing the honors. Once at Swanage the HST then ran to Bournemouth and then back Swanage again where the train would make it's final journey back to Leeds. A fitting end to 41 years of running the UK Cross Country route and the finale to the HST 125 2+7 formation.
Locations filmed:
Holme Lane road bridge
Harman's Cross (hillside)

The world famous 60103 Flying Scotsman ran over the Devon Banks from Bristol to Par in Cornwall and return. First seen at Tigley with the use of my drone that I have not used in two years, due to poor signaling issues on the remote control screen the shot is a little off centre to the left after it pans. On the return working the 100 year old locomotive makes an all too easy flying ascent up th...

Просмотров 2,3 тыс.2 года назад
6233 Duchess of Sutherland makes a tremendous slog up the two mile 1in42 climb at Hemerdon Bank hauling a 10 coach load. The shot is filmed from an unusual and very less filmed north side of Hemerdon, which has now become my signature trademark location. (Filmed from on top of a stepladder behind the fence obviously!) #6233duchessofsutherland #lms #hemerdonbank

TURN UP THE VOLUME AND ENJOY! As the title puts it 7029 Clun Castle storms up the Lickey Incline unassisted with six coaches. Normally steam is given assistance when climbing the Licky Incline, but in this case the Castle was given the chance to challenge the climb on her own and thus the results are shown here... Not an easy shot to get esp when standing on a awkward step ladder. #lickeyinclin...
