The Friday morning ecs working was too early for me but the Sunday evening return run from Coventry was at a time I could manage, although it was in the dark. I chose Stourbridge for the video as the downhill runs at Old Hill are rather uneventful and not too good in the dark. A Chiltern ecs set arrived just before the Belle was due, this meant the view from platform 2 would be blocked, but as you see in the video it did set back into the yard in plenty of time.
Cropping images of a fast train from a video filmed in the dark doesn’t give great results, but here they are.
