Brilliant footage mate, I saw Blue Peter and the choppers at Crewe in the afternoon. Blue Peter looked great but the choppers really stole the show, they sounded great leaving Crewe
Blue Peter was indeed in fine form and the choppers on the back were also a very nice surprise the consist also surprised me with a mix of mk1s, mk2s and barrier coaches
Such a shame to see 507017 go to scrap this train was probably the most recognisable 507s as it had a graffitied red arrow on the one of its ends it’ll be a shame to not see that again and I will miss 507010 quite a lot as well as just a few weeks ago I got some mega tones from it, such a shame to see 010 go as well 😢😢
Although people say they hate these I do think these should be persevered in heritage organisations and museums when they are done with, along side the class 155 because they are getting on in years and well really must of Northern Rail are outdated. I know the old pacers got replaced in 2019 - 2022 and some of those did get to go in museums like the one in Shildon railway museum so hopefully that happens with the other railway engines when they are done with
Brilliant video mate, them 50s look spectacular being back in large logo livery. I caught them at Preston and the driver thrashed them like hell right next to where I was stood, made a great noise with the echoey acoustics of Preston station
Brilliant video mate, I saw the NMT at Crewe and the mail at Warrington. Shame you missed the 47s at Runcorn East - you would've seem me if you did because I was at Runcorn East for them!
Proper annoying that one especially since there were 2 locos on the drax, thankfully I had my dad on lookout so the avanti didn't sneak up and scare the crap out of me 😂
@@bptrains If anything, it seemed like there were more people for the 86 than for Sir Nigel Gresley, although that's probably because people were spread out all across the station for SNG
@@bptrains go out the barriers. Turn left, past the shop and the ticket office. Onto the parcels bay. Carry on to the very end where you see a gate/ entrance and some steps. At the bottom of the steps turn left and walk towards the container then Bob’s your uncle your there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant footage, always good to see double headed steam on the mainline. I'm hoping to chase this pair down the Heart of Wales line on Saturday given it will be the first steam on that line in three years
I still find it incredible that the class 37 which is probably at least a decade older than the emu being taken to scrapping by it. Still works and is still in service when the younger rolling stock is being scrapped
Great footage, always plenty going on at Acton Bridge. I was planning on going there for the tours but decided last minute to stay at Crewe for them instead
