I had luck on my side when I decided to film the Western at Marston Green as I had a good chance of getting blocked by a Avanti train going south.
But it all worked out great as a northbound Avanti train lost time at Coventry by 4 mins which made the stopper late at Marston Green, and the Western was stuck behind the class 350 to Rugeley Trent Valley which give me some great Western footage.
Luck wasn't on my side at Birmingham New St as the LE move back to the SVR was running late and didn't go through its booked platform.

At least you got *SOME* footage of it I was able to capture it light locomotive at Ealing Broadway, and then I headed west, planning to capture it at Reading but as it was up the arse of the Elizabeth line train I was on, I bailed out at Twyford and caught her thrashing through there and didn't do too bad overall That kid running around in front of the camera 📷 was a bloody nuisance

Wasn't it Allan and it sounded blooming great when it powered past me following a class 350.

Despite the setback at New Street Mike you still managed to get some great footage of the Western. What a fantastic loco she is. Best regards mate, Colin.

@antman09ful1 3 месяца назад

My first shot was well worth missing my tea for Colin, I was very happy with the Westerns performance at Marston Green. Cheers Mike.

Great video Mike. I was at Canley to see it and as it came out of platform 4 at Coventry it was still pulling hard as it passed by. Fabulous sounding locomotive...

@antman09ful1 3 месяца назад

Yes it was a great sight to see, I did think about Canley, but decided to keep local which worked out perfect for me. cheers for watching.

Oh yes Jacob I was very pleased the way it all turned out a MG, just a shame the LE move was early as it was booked through platform 7, but because it was early went through platform 5. Cheers Mike.
