Drivers Eye View. Ipswich - Lea Junction (Stratford). 

Great smooth and speedy run, R.I.P. Pigeon.

Thank you excellent video so clear feels like you are in the cab

Once you get past the M25 it's amazing how close together the stations are . Used to get the train to Liverpool Street everyday , Stratford has changed since beyond recognition since the Olympics.

Excelente video.. sigue subiendo mas videos asi..saludos desde Argentina.

Excellent journey thanks, the subtitles make things easy to follow your progress. Looking forward to further episodes.

Thanks for a great video. I used to live in Norwich with frequent travel to Liverpool Street so it was good to see a 'forward' view instead of the 'sideways' view as a passenger.

Excellent film. Great quality. I have made that journey as a passenger many times so a real treat to see it from the cab. Thank you.

I absolutely loved that vid, the colours were fantastic, great work.

Great trip. Was amazed at how much of the overhead line equipment has been changed over recent years. Almost a case of re-electrification.

Really enjoyable video, decent quality and good amount of captions. Hope to see some more soon.

I remember this route back in 1998!!! The Clacton Xpress BRC309 Slam Door Train running on 25KV compared to 3rd rail BRC422 What a difference in power!!! If this Lolco is Diesel then i will be damned!!!

Thanks for this....I will be route learning Ipswich to Wembley and this section of the route I haven't been able to video in the daytime! Great that you have the names of Jcts etc too. 👍🏻

Excellent quality video , thanks for sharing .

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

Great run....Thank you for posting!!

Thanks so much for this text book trip I didn’t want it to end, so much to see all the way,got to be my favourite go to video, more please Mike.

Great cabride !!! James.

Totally brilliant, thank you!

Great video, excellent to see the route in so much detail and clarity! I’ve been trying to get forward facing video out of the Network Rail measurement train team for a while to aid training of some of our signallers and MOMs, but no luck so far, so this is a welcome substitute.

Great video. Nice to see the flirts fly past. Nice views at that end of the country 👌

Absolutely bloody fantastic!!!!! :-D Thank you so much for recording this. Can't wait for the next video, hopefully that will be the North London Overground section (fingers crossed).

Thank you. East Anglia looking lovely in the late afternoon sun.

Thanks, using this to help me learn part of this route 😁

Good one; with a video of this quality you deserve more subscribers. Let’s get to 1,000 for a start. 🐨🇦🇺

Good to see Stoke tunnel is still as damp as ever.

Brilliant!!! I was hoping someone would do this train journey. A still view of the train before starting would be good 👍

Should have said; that was one hel of a clear well timed run; presumably now waiting for Overground to pass.

Brilliant! I can't wait for a 90 aha

like the video very much

Ahh Essex beautiful

Thank you.

Great one having in mind HD 1080 quality of filming. And pity that it is not 4k as it would be of a much better quality. I suggest that you do them all 4k as they will be of better quality and as such will last longer. In my opinion it is worth to invest some extra eford and film them all 4k, on sunny days and when driving away from sun. Clean window is a must anyway. Simply as this is what it is needed to do good if not top video. It is this simple and demanding at the same time.

Another Great video, have enjoyed this one, only thing is, that I had to turn my volume up quite a lot to hear the sound

Being somewat tired before watching this,so relaxing the engine sound made me drift off a few times...lol reminds me of 80`s when we came back sunday night after weekend job in Reading Mand S doing the refrigeration,we had the bedford with sliding doors and sounded just like the 66 I fell asleep to the constant drone of the engine and slept all the way back to wales lol

I work at Chelmsford station. 😀

Excellent thanks for making these! Would love to see some 90 or 86 footage if you have any?

R.I.P Pigeon @1.00.01.

I would like to see more 4K videos !

Really enjoyed the video and looking forward to watching more. How many trains come and go from Felixstowe on an average day? Given that a lot of them go via Peterborough, and you passed 4 of them heading east during the run, it must be a really busy rail terminus.

That was brilliant... I wanted it to continue... Looking forward to your videos :-) Is there an option to see the speedo and other dials ?

First class journey

Enjoyed this. I was intrigued by the fact that you kept the power on all of the way down Brentwood Bank - is that simply because pathing is tight and you have to be up to 75mph (?) as soon as possible to get out of the way?

Excellent video and excellent driving, keeping the speed up and using the downhill gradients to your advantage. I'm undertaking some work on diesel vs electric traction and the climbs out of Ipswich and Manningtree provide some very useful information for me. You averaged 56 mph up the 2.75 miles of Dedham Bank at 1:134 which is impressive (I wonder how well laden the train was and what the trailing load was?). Is there any possibility of you filming a return down trip involving the climb up Brentwood Bank? I'm very keen to get exact point to point timings from Harold Wood to Ingrave Summit. And do you drive Class 90's as well? I'm particularly keen to get some comparison timings between Class 66 and Class 90 up Brentwood Bank. BTW and FYI, I am a rail freight consultant!

1:00:00 poor bird!

When ya washing machine goes on the rinse mode spin .thats the noise of the loco at speed 😂

Great video, was this on a passenger train? .

When did you take this video? None of the recent OLE works at Stratford are there and that was done at Christmas

Making the night shunt turn go a little quicker 👍. Look forward to the next one.

Was this video sped up? Or did you just give some Beans. So relaxing

The Shenfield Shark brake van is still there. Will it ever be removed?

RIP Pigeon

what speed were you doing? it seems to take quite a while to get from Ipswich and you are not stopping like GA trains do at Manningtree, Colchester, Chelmsford etc and they are quicker?

enjoyed your 1st now second aswell do you ever take frieght up to scotland or north of england? wud be great

Enjoyable & interesting video. NB Hatfield PeverEl is mis-spelled. And a pigeon dies at1:00:01 so you can't say 'No animals were hurt during the making of this film' ;-) !

At 48:06 I see a speed sign with 80/85E. I've never seen the E suffix before, does it stand for electric? Do you know what trains it applies too? Thanks for the video!

Would love to see a view of a 745 or a 755

1:00 poor bird

Please excuse my lack of knowledge but the power appears to be 100% most of the time, does the setup reach a max speed and that's your lot so you have to keep motor full pelt?

There is sound, but you need to turn the volume right up

Very good, but, is it me or is the sound very quiet?

Is this a class 66 locomotive?

what frieght do you haul ? on your routes can you say?

What was the motive power on this run?

What a great pity there’s no sound. I understand that there could have been “administrative difficulties” in an engine fitted with some sort of radio system, but surely that could have been overcome in editing the film. Pity.

what the center road called you are on at ipswich

Is this a light engine move?

👍 Belle vidéo mais je me demande pourquoi les trains de fret ne sont tractés que par des engins diesel ? Il existe pourtant des locomotives bi-modes puissantes qui seraient bien plus écologiques et tout aussi pratiques pour les "last mile" non électrifiés. Amitiés de Belgique 🤗

Take it this a 66?

Cool. Subscrito
