The sound seems to disappear for a couple of minutes between 0:36 and 3:26. Other than the loss of sound, this is another brilliant piece by Mr Davies. Really polished, a real pleasure to watch, it gives a real flavour of the day. Its so nice to watch a video where the content is allowed to breathe and stand on its own two feet, without whizzy graphics and mad transitions! And lovely steady shots - some videos the camera operator seems determined to wave the camera about like a flag!! This video is a breath of fresh air. Well up to Broadcast Quality. Well done, as ever Mr D! Kind Regards, Zac
Many thanks for you kind revue, it is much appreciated. No explanation for the loss of sound as it was 7 years ago, possibly I had the battery in the microphone on that particular camera back to front ( it has happened ). Thanks once again, Dewi.
My grandfather Thomas Shearer worked on that line as a footplate man in 1930's before it closed.. It Was a proper steam train went all the way down to the main Railway lines then you could stop the train beside the road steps were lowered so you could get on or off ..
Llangollen has done an amazing job at Corwen. £2.4 million, including various grants. Of a standard equal to anything Network Rail can produce for probably £15million. Though diesels are also 'heritage', class 31 from 1958, hopefully GWR steam will soon return. From a 30+ years member, well done all, and good luck be with you, onward. Rich T.
This video was Soooooperb !!! A bit like the video - cab ride Corwen only this one was videod in the summer time, which made it all the more interesting - like everything is nicen green - A big thank you to the person who made this great video, l say well done 👍👍✅.
The original station is now a showroom for Ifor Williams Trailers, the railway wouldn't have been allowed there if it was available as the bridge crossing Green Lane would have been too low and impossible to raise the embankment to make it higher.
Good filming of interesting vehicles, delightful countryside and lovely stations, ruined by the rustling of wind (use a "rabbits foot" over the mic) and the irritating northern whitterings of a twerp who endlessly talked about his jacket, and at the end of the film, waffling-on, talking utter cr**! Next time, just shut-up!
Strangely late appearance in my feed, who knows the mysteries of the youtube alogrithm? Used to have dinner there when at local secondary school, happy days. Great to see the old station building.
@@DewiHDavies Me too, Liverpool to Rock Ferry, sometimes rode on the class 502s to Southport, in those days the electrics ran from Liverpool Exchange and the terminus at Southport was called 'Chapel Street'. Happy days
Great to see Christmas trains back again and fare paying passengers in the coaches. This lovely railway has had enough battering over the past two years and we need to all move on now.
A very nice video. When the train approached Deeside Loop on both journeys, the Home signals both displayed a green aspect, with the return journey approach releasing the signal from red. Should they not have displayed a yellow aspect as the Starting signal was at red? Or was the yellow aspect out of use and the signal functioning as a 2 aspect red/green signal only?
Both up & down signals are are 3 aspect heads but they only display red/green aspects when the signal box is open. The 3rd aspect which is used when the signal box is closed is a white light which is worked from the point detection and proves to the driver that the points are set and locked for the mainline. If no white light shows when the signal box is shut then the driver is obliged to stop and apply point clips to the point blades.
