- Filled with positive energy I head out to Northampton early on Thursday 23rd May to capture trains from Wilson's Farm level crossing to Far Cotton Viaduct. Northampton Castle railway station sits in-between both of these points and I time it just right to capture the "Chelsea Flower Show Express" rail tour pass by.
The Caledonian Sleeper made an unexpected return after letting me down in the morning and the "Flying Banana" driven by a local legend of Northampton stops by with H&S executives on board. Then by the time I reached the viaduct, trains had been diverted off the mainline ready for me to capture the action.
All this and more in one epic video for you all to enjoy.
Hi there, my name is Andy I used to trainspotting in Victoria Park during the 50,s and 60,s.. on the High bench provided for spotter, long since dismantled. I am 74 now and still love railways real and model.
Hiya Andy. Welcome aboard. Trains are something I've always loved but never gave it the attention as I was more interested in 'fitting in'. Now I release I can't fit in 😅 😆. It's full steam ahead for me. I love exploring dismantled lines and trying to relive the era I never saw but hear so much about. I hope can bring you some extra knowledge and entertainment.
Wot a busy day!
V nicely shot 👏🏻
Cheers

This is a very novice question, but as there are ticket barriers at Northampton do you end up buying a ticket you don't need in order to get down to the platforms? Like a ticket to Long Buckby?
Nope but it is down to station staffs discretion. If you don't look like a spotter you ain't getting through.
