There was something slightly unsettling about this and it's taken me a moment to realize it's because she's running wrong line. I know- modern signalling and track circuits etc... still looks odd.
@TimRuffle Not necessarily 'wrong line' - it's a single line through there with a passing loop at Chard Junction, so Tornado is on the 'main line' and between it and the cameraman is the passing loop. At the point Tornado is at about 00:12 in, that's the top end of the passing loop.
I remeber that going through i loved it :D

There needs to be a station here. That's what's missing.

@ajdown Aah. So it's a "rationalized" line- i.e. one that has been turned into a timetabling bottleneck and signalling nightmare.
(It took me a while to place this comment in context I saw this so long ago.)
