Railway-related videos taken by me, David Broster and my father, featuring the vastly-different railways of England and Germany, and hoping to spread further afield into the rest of Europe sometime soon!
About Me:
 
I was born in Rosenheim, Bayern, SE. Germany in 1990, we moved back over here to Leeds, England in 1998.

To me, German Railways (DB) are far and away my favourite, although Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB [Österreichische Bundesbahn]) and Dutch State Railways (NS [Nederlandse Spoorwegen]) are also pretty good, just more organised. They do, however, feature less variety through the lack of subcontracted private-operators, although I prefer this approach to running a railway!

Recent outings:
===========
- East Yorkshire-bashes (videos uploaded),
- London-/MML-bash (videos uploaded),
- several West Yorkshire 'bashes' (videos uploaded),
- London-bash (videos uploaded)
- Greater Manchester-bash (video uploaded).

Planned Outings:
===========
- Holiday in Germany 11th-21st Aug.
- West Mids Day Ranger thereafter,
- France-bash at some point,
- 'nother Scotland bash,
- More local-vegging.

IMPORTANT NOTE(S):
===============
The phrase "MTV*l" is not permitted; it is tabooed and banned under international anti-2VEG legislation; anyone caught using it gets blocked & deleted (if applicable).
------------------------------ ------------------
- SPAM is taken seriously; any fowl/abusive comments/actions will be reported as I feel appropriate, whilst I prefer not to be "sent" videos; it is unlikely I will watch them!!

Brilliant collection of videos there, Dave, keep up the great work you've done so far!

The bad news from me is that my outings have now been suspended until late September 2011 at the earliest, because I don't have a student loan for Oct 2010-June 2011.
