I filmed the first freight train just before 05.00 and left after seeing fifteen trains at 07.30. I don't visit this station very much during the day but I did like this early morning visit. Filmed 22/02/19
Dedication for you Mike ,well worth the early rise ,and what a session ,and no jobsworths either ,the perfect morning ! Lovely quality captures each one a gem ,lots of super sheds to satisfy me ha ha! Super work as always from you.p ,loved it ,cheers Nick.
A real freight fest there Mike! Some quality nocturnal shots under the lights there, and even when daylight appeared(and the mist too!)it made for some nice atmospheric shots I thought.
I passed this station a few years ago after a divert from the GCR,thought then that it looked a mint place for seeing decent traction. Very good film and a nice amount of freight,think you stood in the right place for the network rail. Andy
Andy I only live a 30 mins drive away but its a station I might only visit three or four times a year, but I might do another early morning there in the summer. Regards Mike.
Afternoon David, yes I have filmed some freight and class 67 working the Manchester trains at Earlstown, plus I have been to that spoons which If I remember right was a ex Church, and visited on the 6th Feb 2017.
Trevor I had a great day really because when I left Nuneaton I went to another station to catch a train to London, which was the next video you watched. Cheers Mike.
yes this is normal beast days to go are, tuesday and thursday but good other days as well have a look at real time trains advanced and you will see how busy this station is im a local and 40 + freight a day
Kenneth thanks for watching this video, I know all about RTT but from experience you can never guaranty a train will do a certain working till it leaves its departure point. Regards Mike.
I saw the first train was bound for Washwood Heath. Any chance (please!) of a film showing what is happening at Washwood Heath? I used to live not far, and passed most days - but live much further way now, and would love to have an update! Many thanks
