Video – 153365 Old Hill, 21/05/18
After a mad rush to the station to see the 88 which ran early the previous day, I had to take it easy to see 66726 and 47712 returning to Crewe – so ambled out of the house before their … Continue reading
Video 88010 Old Hill, 20/05/18
I know I posted a couple of photos a couple of days ago, but here is a link to the video. I don’t know if 88s will ever work a Berkeley flask run so this might be a rare clip … Continue reading
Update 1054. Video of 66213 at Stourbridge, 20/05/13
Checking a TOPS list I noticed 66213 was on a steel train to Round Oak, and I didn’t have a video of that Class 66 – so, a trip down the Junction to film it. I didn’t have time to … Continue reading

Update 1051. Video of D9009 & 67005 passing Tyseley, 16/05/15
The Golden Jubilee Pullman ran from London Victoria to Bridgnorth on the Severn Valley Railway. I filmed it several times & thought it would be better to have individual updates instead of one playlist. My first sighting of it was … Continue reading

A few hours at Northampton and my first Class 90 in the new Freightliner livery. Amongst the Class 66s seen were a pair on a “leaf buster” train, and mustn’t forget the Class 31 on a test train. From here … Continue reading

Went across to Dorridge to see this train, as I have done over the past few weeks. My train was delayed just outside Dorridge, as were the next 2 departures towards Birmingham. Seems there was a problem with the level … Continue reading
