A beautiful 'alpine' ride between valleys in the Pennines. First on one side of the hill and then through a tunnel and on the other. its listed as a great train ride in some foreign guidebooks. Ive met Americans doing it specially for the scenery. I was once on a Pacer in Summit tunnel and a steam train went the other way. The flash of the fire and tunnel full of steam. For once I was glad of the Pacers terrible draughtproofing. The lovely smell of coal smoke lingered for a long time. A very old line built by Stephenson hence the remarkable civil engineering.

Sad the wires haven't got at least to Newton Heath. They should be at Stalybridge or right to Leeds or even Hull by now. I blame Grayling and the Oil Lobby.

Travelled this route many times. The first sign of getting home to Sowerby Bridge was the sighting of
Wainhouse Tower .
A very nice and comfortable ride. Thank you . Cheers! 🏴🙂👍🇺🇸
its amazing to think the vavvis cut through these rock cuttings with prob just pix axes brill vid as usual
Think this needs a rework. At the end, just as we arrive at Leeds, the screen goes black and the word "Title" appears for about ten seconds.
Just a quick correction, at 23:35 PN332 is a 3 aspect signal although it is mounted in a 4 aspect head. It can only show red, yellow and green.
Thank you for letting me know about PN332, will correct that when I do the latest version with the updates around Victoria
8:19 Isn't right at Castleton Junction one end of the railway to the East Lancs Railway?
Yes, although the ELR do not use it for their services as current

Could you film man vic to leeds via brighouse and dewsbury?
Great
Just for the uninitiated. Would you explain the double speed restriction please. I'm assuming MU stands for Multiple Unit. Many thanks
The top speed limit is for freight, the bottom speed limit is for passenger trains.
The bottom speed only applies to multiple unit trains, the top speed applies to all other trains
Sure this is a re upload. you seem to have a lot of videos missing from your play list.
There was an issue with some of the videos, so they have been removed and will be uploaded as I sort the issue out
