Passing Rowlands Castle

2019-09-14: passing Rowlands Castle on the way home from Salisbury, with the HDL Ludgershall Legionnaire railtour.
This was uploaded to illustrate the need for photographers to TURN OFF autofocus-assist beams when photographing at night. The bright flashing light is quite off-putting for traincrews. Thank you!

Nicely put guys.....that little light on that bloke's phone is very distracting !!

[@themeatchannel1134]

88 feet a second at 60mph.....it's a lot for a driver to be looking at, and have to process !!
All fellow enthusiasts......please take note of this.....the driver has got "The Road" here, AWS bell backing that up of course, but that little flashing light is a distraction that he really doesn't need........

Today is January 1, 2023 and do you have any idea when you can resume making your cab ride videos?

[@hastingsdiesels]

Today is 2 January 2023. Not really, no. [edited] Sorry I don't mean to sound unhelpful, but I've had a lot going on and a lot of therapy ongoing as I try to get my life back into some semblance of order. I'd like to make videos again, but don't wish to commit myself to a timescale just yet.

if he was closer to signal ,some drivers could see that as a flashing yellow....some idiots just dont think.

Please do a cab ride on the mod line between shoeburyness and pigs bay.

[@hastingsdiesels]

I'm surprised that you imagine that the MOD would just let us run a railtour along that highly sensitive piece of their private railway, or that we could fill a railtour with fare-paying passengers to see it. Both of these would be prerequisites to being able to obtain such footage.

[@D8059PRODUCTIONS]

My local station! It's brilliant to see what the approach of it looks like from the front cab!
