Great video. I'll be in UK from Australia later this year but while wishing is good time wasted, like many I'd have enjoyed being on that special with two wonderful GWR locos.
Stunning footage of a rare spectacle in railway preservation my good sir! Absolutely fantastic to see two Castles double-heading, especially on former GWR territory. They certainly seemed on top form up Hatton Bank on the return, reports indicated a speed of 62mph! Kind regards, Adam 🙂
That train certainly created a lot of interest. I shot the return trip at Oxford and Banbury and was rewarded at Oxford with a high speed run through the station. They were making up time lost at an earlier P.W. slack. That footage is now on my YT channel and, hopefully, later on today I'll be able to make a start on editing the footage I shot Didcot and get some of that on here...
