Steam on The Watercress Line at Ropley Mid Hants Railway

After boarding The Flying Scotsman briefly, I take a ride behind a Standard Class steam hauled locomotive from Ropley station to Alton and Back. On the Mid Hants Railway, better known as' The Watercress Line' in Hampshire!

Great video Nigel! 👍
I moved to Hampshire last year and now live about 10 miles from Alton. Never been on the Watercress line but soooo want to go on a train sometime with the family.
