Thanks to Peter Ainsworth (www.flickr.com/photos/peterai...) for the shots of 44871 and 45407 (departing south), 44871 & 45699 from Avenham Park, and 45690 heading for Blackpool.
Preston railway station is situated on the West Coast Mainline, roughly half way between London Euston and Glasgow Central (marginally closer to the latter). It was opened in 1838, rebuilt in 1880, and subject to electrification in 1974. It is situated in Preston City Centre, close to the River Ribble, Avenham and Miller Parks, Winckley Square, the Park Hotel, Fishergate Bridge, County Hall and St. Walburge's Church.
I Love Steam Train Stations. 😀
Cracking compilation and composition. Thanks for posting.
Many thanks Allan, very much appreciated and thanks for taking to time to comment. Best wishes, David.
The night shots are superb.
Thank you very much Arthur, much appreciated and sorry for the slow reply.
Great to see steam in action at Preston station
The brummie Rail enthusiasts Thanks Scott, always good to film there.
@@Linesider1 yeah david
Great shots showing off Preston. Brings back memories of when I went to University there, espically that clip of 45231 as I used to live at the student accomodation you filmed it from
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Definitely the perfect halls for the view out of the window!
Wonderful footage of superb engineering, and in Lancashire where I was born. There is no other train to beat the Steam Train. Thank you, I have subscribed. 🚂
Excellent, brings back memories of my childhood, visiting grandparents in Preston. Sometimes a night train - cheaper fares - from Euston behind a Black Five, usually. Thank you!
Many thanks Jim, much appreciated and nice to hear it brought back happy memories. It must have been an amazing place back in steam days.
Great stuff, especially the night shots - a real magical mystery tour!
Many thanks Alan, much appreciated. I saw the Queen there during the golden jubilee, but no video camera, and I think she was hauled by a class 57, not quite the same!
There's something magical about a railway station at night and this video captures it. Lovely stuff.
Many thanks Phil, much appreciated. I know what you mean, always an enjoyable experience at night, particularly.
An excellent compilation, much enjoyed thank you David, comprehensively captioned without intrusion on the great shots. Very helpful documentation too. Kind regards, Bob
Many thanks Bob, very much appreciated as ever. Thanks for mentioning the captions - as you will know, such things are rather time consuming, so it's great that they are appreciated. Thanks again, David.
Awesome video my friend, I vaguely remember seeing Stanier 8F 48151 here when I was 4 or 5 years old in 2012-13, however since I was but a wee lad I could not distinguish the loco from any others.
Fantastic stuff David, one of my favourite stations, perhaps only beaten by your shots at Penrith
Many thanks Tony, much appreciated as ever. Yes not quite as fast at Preston, more about the ambience. Hopefully more to film there as and when Covid allows!
Excellent production David, The station makes a fine backdrop for the selection of locos
Many thanks Austin, definitely a great theatre for the actors. I remember seeing Blue Peter there, and the sound of its chime and standard whistles being blown alternately and echoing around was surreal.
Even when next to modern train, the steam train DOES NOT feel it doesn't belong there. In fact, it feels more "alive" with the breathing steam.
Excellent footage well put together thanks for sharing.
Many thanks Alan, much appreciated 👍🏻
Worth putting on dvd I reckon, I’d buy one👍🇬🇧.
Many thanks again Alan - some of the footage has appeared on DVDs I have made, but this is the first time all of the Preston shots have been sequenced together. Hopefully more shots to get, as and when covid allows!
Beautiful 😍
Many thanks Sudipta, much appreciated!
Stunning captures excellent presentation!!! :-)
Many thanks Lynn, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it :)
Brilliant compilation David. Nice sounds from a great selection of locos. Preston is a splendid looking station. Enjoyable watching. Kind regards C&A
Thank you very much C&A, glad you enjoyed it. The station has retained much of its character and the sound under the roof when there is steam is quite special.
Great video of proper trains and not the modern boring rail buses of today!
Thank you very much, I quite agree - nothing else has the grandeur of steam!
Nice steam thru the railway stations, very interesting video! Best Regards from Germany, Railherbie
Many thanks again Railherbie, much appreciated. It was an enjoyable video to put together. Best wishes, David.
Nice video very good camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on UA-cam bye for now Philip
An invitation to any of the 7 people who have decided to dislike this video to please explain why.
They are descendent's of Dr Beeching lmao.
FYI I am like No. 76
@@garyrea2320 Well thank you sir, much appreciated. I think you might be onto something lol!
A superb collection of shots which seems to happen less and less now since steam rarely goes through Preston nowadays ! Is there a camcorder that you could recommend for someone who is looking to buy? - Joe
Many thanks Joe, much appreciated and yes not that much to film there at present. This was shot on a variety of Sony cameras which I’ve always got on with, I’m not too up on individual models but perhaps worth picking some out on amazon and then looking for review videos on UA-cam to assess the quality. Hope this helps, David.
@@Linesider1 Thanks David I'll take a look!
It makes me jealous because mostly German steamlocomotives in the Netherlands.
Although I am perhaps biased, as an Englishman, I have always found British locos the most attractive ao I can understand that :) Although I'm sure there are some great German loco's?
@@Linesider1 You are right. There are of course impressive German steamlocomotives too. Unfortunately only a very few large Dutch steamlocomotives were preserved in the end of the fifties. (Our NS 3737 looks very British .....!)
Tomorrow I’m doing a lifestream Go check it out
