Nice bit of filming there 01276.I missed all the mail trains over xmas because of having to work.Would of liked a shot of the 47 mail drag.A+ clip

[Owentheguitarist666]

THAT 66 driver ROCKS!!!! great horn

[theamateurbasher]

That'll be Riviera's 47805 Talisman, on hire to GBRf I would guess. I photographed such a move at Warrington Bank Quay yesterday. Cheers for the clip!

[01276]

yes same move! do you know the train code?

[theamateurbasher]

I'm afraid not, all I know is, it passed through Warrington at 10:12 am, heading South from Warrington RMD, with two 325's in tow. Thanks again.

[stationendproduction]

it was running 2 down when it passed me at Acton Bridge

[hstman14]

That 1st 66 is absoloutly SUPERB!!!! Fantastic video mate! Just for curiosity, What was the number of that 1st 66?

[01276]

the only number didnt get, just put the others up on video comment. looked at video closely best i can do it 66--7

[hstman14]

If this was filmed on 28th it could well have been 66187. Thanks for uploading other numbers.

[01276]

yes was the 28th, thanks

[bathboysteve]

66187 i think. I just missed it too, was with hstman14 for the day. I got the number from a Yahoo group im a member of. I think they HTA's were being diverted via Bath, Trowbridge, The Berks & Hants And Reading just to reach Didcot from Avonmouth!
