A quick run-by of 50021 in just about the only patch of sun we got all day. Worth it for this shot though. Rodney was named Dave on this side (driven by Trigger then?). More vid taken in the usual gloom to come

Had a day riding the trains at the Bluebell for a change. Didn't vid much (took mostly stills) due to the strong wind ruining the sound but managed to catch the three locos that were running. 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair 80151 (310)65
Swanage Railway - Strictly Bulleid II 8 June 2024
Переглядів 9463 місяці тому
8 Bulleid Pacifics in action, glorious countryside, promising timetable of workings. What could go wrong? Quite a lot as it happens - weather was dull and windy and then the timetable fell apart through no fault of their own. I stuck it out for what its worth but, unless you were there on Saturday putting up with it, there are much better vids out there probably taken on the Friday and Sunday. ...

Busy day at the Kent and East Sussex Railway (and sister Rother Valley Railway) as the line celebrates 50 years of preservation. Couldn't decide if I was videoing, taking pics, chasing trains or riding the trains and buses. Anyway here's a few shots of 76017 and 31806 on the KESR and 70000 and 73128 on the RVR

Gloomy day around Westbury.

And that one! 😂
I was there as well!
I was there!
Ha ha. Thanks for the sarcastic comment. Very funny Mrs Howard (my wife). You enjoyed it really… at least Rodney being named Dave (made my day as well).
Some good footage there Andy, thanks for posting. We were there Sunday which was not quite so crazy busy (a mate told me who did the riding on Saturday and photographed Sunday) I'm not sure how many trips we took! 'Lots'! There seem to be a lot watching, and I hope they contributed in some way one way or another, I dread to think how much this show cost, and being a long-time member and supporter of the SR, I know what the situation is like.
Thanks for watching. We bought a ticket intending to ride some late afternoon trains but didn’t use it as it all went to pot in the afternoon and we didn’t want to get stuck!
Very nice!! Subscribed now!!
Thank you
Hi buddy just subbed, came over from Barnabas shout-out show 👍
Ik
I was in it😂
I was in this video
Promo SM 😂
1:51 Omg there’s me in the blue coat 🫠🫠
Great video! I was there Sunday and had an enjoyable day.
Thank you. It was very atmospheric.
Great video. The SE I loosely model but love the area. Hi from NZ
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Tonbridge is a popular spot to watch trains. Pity there wasn’t a lot going on this day. Cheers Andy
Great video Andy
Thanks 👍
Has 70013 moved anywhere in the last 10 years?
Nice Freight train video 👍👍😀😎
Thank you
Super video! Great captres! Big LIKE
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video. You want to try and have a northern summer! Preston had 303% of its normal July rainfall! How long where you at Eastleigh this day? You make it look busy but when I go, there are long boring periods of no freight. Any more than 4 per hour is a bonus!! Thanks for the vid 👍🏻
Thanks Phil. I was probably there 6 or 7 hours so not massively busy. By the way, I know all about Preston Summers - I grew up there. That’s why I moved “down South”
More 34072 257 Squadron on the KESR Andy Howard love louis shirley
Great video
Thank you
Why so many class 60s & 67s sitting Idle rusting away , what a sad sight.
Awesome video!!
Thank you. Not quite as good over here compared to the monster locos you get to see every day though.
WATCHING THIS BRING BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES OF THE TIME I LIVED AND WORKED IN MARCH
Thank you
Beautiful video like and subscribed from Czech Republic 🙂👍👍👍🔔🇨🇿
Excellent video 💯💪🏻 Like 👍🏻 And Greeting 🙋🏻 from argentina 🇦🇷 suscríbete 👈🏻
Hola. Gracias.
Top quality
Thank you
For me extremely interesting. Fine that in Britain so many lines are non-electrified. A pity that so many locos are out of work. Class 66 dominates in picture and sound. Greetings from Gdynia, Poland.
Thank you Wojciech. Yes, class 66 dominates freight here, but I believe some Freightliner ones escaped to 🇵🇱
@@andyhoward1001 Thanks for the answer. There are presumably approx. 40 Class 66 locos in Poland: Freightliner PL and DB Cargo Polska.
@@wojciechzalewski6648 cool gbrf are putting 66 engines in 56s to make the 69 lol so they have more things of the strength without buying more
Toton was based on COAL. What came of the early EWS plans to double/triple business?
An accurate reflection of the UK now, bleak and rotten!
Awesome images with trains and nice places! Good work, Andy! MEGA LIKE Greetings from Dublin Andrew
Thank you
DB Schenker heaven, love it, thanks for sharing.
Thank you
@ 7:31: terrible sight, but I am glad that some of the 60s are getting restored for DC Rail
Thanks for comprehensive coverage of Toton Depot. Have you any idea of the Colas 70 working Taking the Crewe line at Stenson Jctn ?
Thank you. The 70 is running from British Steel Redcar to a recycling facility at Longport (recycled into road stone I guess). I saw the same train the day before and it took the Birmingham line.
@@andyhoward1001 Thanks Andy for the info. Regards Les
Great footage huge stock of class 60 at the back of the yard these look like there going for the scrap ? Lots of 66 67 EWS livery I presume these will be repainted to DB colours at some point… GBR Colas use DB yard facilities or sub hired in ? Also spotted Royal train 67 at the very back 👍
Thank you. The stored 60s have been there for years. Who knows what the plans for them are.
So much stock of 60s looks like grave yard 😢 can’t believe how big the site is and very full up not much going on a lot of static locomotives everywhere thanks for sharing really good mixture of freight trains 👍
You must have been in seventh heaven when you took this video!!
Sure was.
I regularly walk round the whole depot and there are some interesting vantage points in your vid that I can't fathom such as 20:22. Are you on the A52 here because the traffic is quite loud.
Hi there. Yes, all views taken from public access land. The views later on are from the Brian Clough Way over bridge. There’s a lay-by on the Derby bound carriageway and you can walk up to the bridge.
@@andyhoward1001 Many thanks, I'd discounted the road so I've been racking my brains as to where for example people take shots similar to this on Flickr and tried walking along a track 90 degrees from the canal towpath where the A52 crosses the canal and battled through undergrowth to try to find a way up the embankment which lead me nowhere lol.
@@andyhoward1001 Hiya Andy, hope all is well with you.... Do me a massive favour though bud... Don't park in the middle of the lay-by though please.... Its where I park my articulated truck, if I'm up that way and wander down the road to the bridge with notebook, pen and binoculars at the ready.... Thank you so much...
love 072 gotta be one of my favourite bullieds from her time at swanage, her and 34010 "sidmouth" got to be my favourite ones
Working well within its limits even going up Tenterden Bank.
Thanks for sharing this Andy, what a great shot coming round Orpins Curve and that three cylinder beat. I must get out to the KESR in the next couple of weeks and take a trip behind 257 Squadron. They did not seem to being pushing the engine but then with a five coach train there is no need, lots of pent up power.
Awesome images with trains and lovely places! Excellent video! Thumbs Up & Subscribe Greetings from Dublin Andrew
Many thanks!
Great video! I've subscribed!
Thank you very much!
Great video Andy, I am on the grab unloading the stone train. We don’t get to see many videos so this is great
Was good to see pros in action.
Thank you for sharing. Sharing is caring.
Great catches Andy 👍
Thank you. Was a great few hours.
Where are all the class 69s currently, as when I went recently none of them were there?
Hello James. As far as I know they’ve all gone (or are in their way) to Longport for modifications. Cheers Andy
One engine and about 50 lorries worth
You’re not wrong 😊
good video
Thank you
Andy, It was nice to meet you and your wife briefly at the end of the platform at Romsey on Saturday. Great video footage. I didn’t realise that you were the fella behind the Two Bridges layout, very inspirational from the NSE period. Regards Nigel (158 Driver)
Hope you like your vid. It’s another Andy Howard who has the excellent Two Bridges I’m afraid - wish it was me as that’s my favourite region/era.
Great video Andy and great view of Southampton M.C.T.
Thank you.
