Tornado passing Biggleswade in the Snow 7th February 2009

And that, children, is what's called the Doppler Effect. Love hearing the kids' enthusiasm.

Didn't Tornado rescue a stranded commuter train after a snowstorm?

[falcons1988]

@LNERRedneck Yes that is true. search the BBC news. It was round kent. Unfortunately you can't post links on Youtube. I will pm you with the link.

FANTASTIC!!!!

[monchandclaxbach]

yeh i love the chorus.

[tacomonster117]

i thought you meant a real tornado...

man this sucks

[atreewithnolife]

wow!

[R3MiiKz]

GNER rules :)

[SteffanLlwyd]

Good one, plus nice to hear the young kids' enthusiasm too. Next generation steam fans!

Hehe, Tornado silenced them all, just as some at about 0:23 goes 'wow', the whistle goes off. And then the Class 91 driver attempts to upstage them by sounding his own horn, although he fails totally. :)

Nice shots and an opportunistic moment, strange...I thought Tornado looked quicker than the inter-city....certainly had more presence and grace...but hey, shouldn't be cynical, well done.

[Chafford1]

Strange how steam at 70mph is more exciting than electric at 125!

[cjsutcliffe]

Steam at any speed is more exciting than anything at 125... :D

Great video and perfectly timed! loved the contrast between old and new. Tornado is an appropriate name!

Boring static camera position. Why not use the zoom - or decide whether to film or shoot video.

[ajb06]

perhaps his camera doesn't have a zoom?

I'm intrigued - how would filming rather than videoing improve this - it'd still be from the same spot!

[SwanleyJack1]

You know what I meant! You've set it up on a tripod then taken stills as well! One or the other in my opinion. Trust the stills were good!

[zozzie]

Swanley, you are a miserable sod aren't you?!

[JawZ2002]

amazing :) and I yet again miss another steam train :(

I even looked on the site few weeks ago that one of you train enthusiats linked me too sometime last year.

[ajb06]

hopefully you'll have two chances on 18th April - Tornado is passing Biggleswade both ways with the Yorkshire Pullman (aka the Venice Simplon Orient Express train) Kings X to York and back

[ashbytimuk]

Hmm ... And I thought TORNADO was going some ! Does kind of put the speed thing into perspective. Mind you, Tornado is a MUCH prettier looking animal by far.

[bfreeman0]

[Christopher125]
