I'm currently a working member of BLS and I appreciate you showing me this, the guys often talk of Dinting and I often wonder what it must have been like.
Great video Stuart! Been to new mills south junction for a look at it recently looks a good spot to film at. Great catch of 44781 it was in fine form today, keep up the good work!
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, liked and subscribed, Greetings from Portugal to the UK.
37901 used to be a preserved locomotive i seen in in 2015 at the east lancs railway in bury so it's either on hire to R.O.G or they bought it from preservation! nice unusual sounding loco 🥰
Interesting to view railway activity in Holyhead. It’s just a bit different to observing trains in Dublin such as 8100 class DART EMUs 8118+8318 which were recently repainted. Thank you for recording present railway activity in Holyhead.
Humm , just do hope that the local wildfoul have managed to escape from all that fast moving River Water before being washed out to sea under that Rail Line ?
That first building if I remember right was the overnight accommodation and included one of Blink Bonney's nameplates. Stayed over from time to time back in 84/85 Harold Povey was the caretaker at the time.
Unfortunately it got dumped on again on November 1st 2023. Thankfully the cleanup got started very quickly. Fingers crossed no more storms this winter.
I agree…. The geomorphologist would look at all the energy inputs to the Dawlish location, which would have included making proper provision for extreme river flows….. “behind you” comes to mind. It is not the railway viaduct that narrows the channel, but the road bridge on the town side.
The words “behind you” come to mind!! As a geomorphologist it seems the engineers only considered one energy input - the sea, forgetting the second sources of potentially destructive power - the river …. An amazing torrent for such a relatively small catchment area, and the second time in as many weeks. No work has been done to accommodate increased river flows….. in the same way as the railway viaduct over the steam is in a most disgraceful state. Why was this not renovated as part of the project?
