In this issue Class 37s on stock move and test train duties, the Network Rail HST, the Hasting Unit on tour, a Deltic on the ECML and Class 47s on rail tours and stock moves.
In this video I have raided my archive for a look back at the mighty HSTs working on the Great Western route before the end came in 2019. Plus a look at the "Castle Sets" at work in the west during the summer of 2023.
On the 21st September Merseyrail 777020 and 777026 where Delivered to the Merseyrail Network, I believe there is a 777/1 at Warrington waiting to be brought up aswell.
A look back at the HSTs at work on the ECML with GNER, National Express, Virgin and LNER. Plus Grand Central, the Network Rail New Measurement Train (NMT) and the Blue Pullman.
On the 5th October Headbolt Lane Station finally opened, I decided to pay a visit in the early afternoon once all the "hype" had dyed down a bit, Hopefully the Station is well used by the locals and shows the investment here was worth it!
On the 6th October i spent an hour or so at Sandhills recording Merseyrail Trains arrive & depart the Station, I feel this is currently the best location on the Merseyrail Network for a good mix of new & old, Was a bit windy due to station design
On the 12th October Merseyrail 777024 was delivered to the Merseyrail Network, It is seen her passing Rainhill Railway Station. 777028 and 777030 remain at Warrington for the time being.
Hi not really sure what to say but I make train videos when I have a chance to for example my visit to Goring & Streatley Station recently and I also make bus videos

I've started on making a series of Stations Around the South West. I've been working on a video of the Durston to Yeovil railway, so one of the first video I made in this new series is about Hendford Station & Halt, Yeovil, Somerset.
I have decided to re-edit and re-publish my previous video looking at the Class 57s. The new and hopefully improved version will be in three parts this time with a voiceover and additional footage and images. In the first part I will be looking at the 57/0s that have been operated by Freightliner, Advenza and Direct Rail Services (DRS). In later episodes I will look at the 57/6s and the 57/3s.
Originally shot in 1995, No 3 engine is getting ready at the Plym Valley Railway in Plymouth, Devon. Thank you to everyone who let us film on the line that day and sorry the quality isn't the best, I am hoping up update it soon.
In 2014 I came across a lengthy procession of CSX Maintenance-of-Way vehicles setting off from the grade crossing at Fairhope, PA to work on track renewal work further up Sand Patch Grade. This is the procession (and the preceding freight train on the same track) condensed into 11 minutes of video - enjoy!
Ben Elias has uploaded a new and very welcome driver's eye view video from Derby to Preston . . . .

A look back at the HSTs at work on the MML with Midland Mainline, East Midlands Trains and East Midlands Railway (EMR). Plus a look at the Data Acquisition & Testing Services Ltd (DATS) Midland Mainline Overhead Line Inspection Train.
