Excellent video. Saw the HST at Swanage today, alongside the magnificently restored steam loco 563, and “Manston”, what a brilliant contrast 😊 Well done to the HST driver for not flattening the deer on the line at 04:30 !
And a complete herd at 3:05 as well! I wonder how they react to steam trains and 33s. Also great to see T3 563 back in steam and hopefully ready to roll.
Oh God, I'm in a parallel universe or was it too much cheese last night!! HSTs, third rail, Pines Express, Heritage Line and to top it all the scene at Swanage was like a drawing from an Rev. Awdry book. I'm still pinching myself but the images won't go away🫣!!! Nicely captured Matthew👍👍👍👍
I was on this (Bournemouth Belle service) it felt surreal and sad at the same time stood on Northbrook road bridge filming it leaving. 3:00 was the absolute money shot, fantastic!!
OMG WOW!!!! Not sure if this is the first time an HST has come to Swanage. But its definitely amazing to see it sitting in the depot! What a cool train! Sad to see them leave service! What a piece of History!
Interesting that the Mk.3 TRUB was cut out of the rake and substituted with an ex-ScotRail Mk.3 Composite as formerly used on the Edinburgh-Glasgow 47/7+DBSO hauled Inter-City Shuttle.
Great to see T3 563 in steam at Swanage at 2:40. Her public return to steam is now scheduled for half term week including both weekends, 21 to 29 October, with 5 return trains from Swanage each day. Should be a great occasion. 130 years young, so now the oldest working British express locomotive? (as against tank engines, goods locos and narrow gauge?)
That shot with the deer crossing is amazing!

Another superbly crafted video, this time capturing a momentous event with fabulous camerawork and brilliant editing. Really well done. Thank you.
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful video, beautifully caputued. Makes up for missing the trip almost. Parents went instead though.
Those deer have no fear at all though 😹

Not the first! East Midlands Trains ran a railtour!
Great video, I saw her just now at Heyford!
