When I was a driver at Crewe 70s/80s we used to do the test runs between Crewe and church stretton of the refurbished locos from Crewe works, used to pick up 6 old coaching stock from basford hall a quick blast to church stretton run round back to basford hall then take the loco back to Crewe works, nice little job.
I live in Welshpool 19 miles from Shrewsbury and I still love to see the lower quardrent home and away signals. You do'nt see many of those on the lines these days. Thanks for uploading.
My old cabin to opposite the Big Box, cripple sidings all ripped up. Walked that Viaduct, Mon Wed Fri, over to Coleham yard . Bloody good days. Thanks very much for sharing. 👍👍
I've only been in a cab once - it was a great experience, just on a preserved line in a DMU between Ongar to North Weald. Thanks for giving us all a chance to join you on more ambitious outings :)
Lovely route and my most favourite main line in the U.K. I thought you might have pointed out a few more places such as Condover, Leebotwood and Marshbrook which are all fairly easy to state as that is where signals (Intermediate Block) or Marsh Brook by the level crossing is indeed a full block post. Very lovely though and isn’t that vegetation very poor in parts.
Most semaphore signals in the former GWR/Western region were "lower quadrant" (i.e. "down" for "off") "Upper quadrant" (i.e. "up" for "off") is more common in the UK - lines that were formerly Midland, Eastern, Northern and Scottish railway companies. ALL semaphores are "danger" when the arm is horizontal - anywhere in UK and even Irish Republic. Same applies to disc ground sigs used for shunting, and repeater signals as well.
it's a bit more interesting from 'up front' but The Marches has to be the dullest route going, still, good for some shut-eye on the cushions..... with thoughts and prayers for 1T08...

Nice 56 in at the new shed, on site of Old Great Western shed at Sutton Bridge. Really enjoyed seeing Shrewsbury. My home town for many years.
👍
Colas loco....

Your most welcome.
Nice to see all the train spotters/rail fans.
Indeed!

Thanks for sharing!
Lovely! Even the weather behaved!
Great, looking forward to part 3,cheer's bob.
Excellent footage! I forgot how flat parts of Englandland are.....BIG skies! Well done!
Thanks 👍
I have an apology to make. Ive just turned up the sound. Oh brilliant. Many apols. Forget my grandson.

The vegetation squad have been round Ludlow this last couple of weeks.
Great filming without annoying musioc or boring commentary - do more like this please
Good stuff, but we'll just have to guess why so much of the sound was muted. Did the driver have terrible flatulence?
Whats the idear of turning the sound off
It may seem a silly question but why are some of the semaphore signals on this line showing up for go and some showing down for go?
Think the question should be asked. why semaphores in this day and age ?
Most semaphore signals in the former GWR/Western region were "lower quadrant" (i.e. "down" for "off")
"Upper quadrant" (i.e. "up" for "off") is more common in the UK - lines that were formerly Midland, Eastern, Northern and Scottish railway companies.

My grandson does very good engine sounds while playing with his Brio trains. You could borrow him
I’m waiting, a bit impatient, for part 3 etc to be uploaded. Does this mean I am a bit sad?
How about one of the Heart of Wales line? That would be fantastic
I have the southern half in the archives. Eventually.
@@RailMart excellent, i love that line
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
A trip down the Marches line - what a treat! Thank you. And thanks too for going to the trouble of giving us what sound you could.
passing SHREWSBURY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB AT 6.23/views of Shropshire hills/ Caer Caradoc from 10.33 AONB
Have you done a video of the Newquay branch?
Unfortunately not. The day i went to film it there was a driver being assesed. So couldnt get on it.
How about one from shrewsbury to bridgnorth.
I like to play these videos at x2 playback speed. More interesting.
Each to there own!
my local- river severn on left

Ein weiteres gutes Video. Nochmals vielen Dank, Freund
Railmart, I do with cold beer or two
Couldn't we all!

All railways are interesting, what a stupid comment.
