Great Video, thanks.

I've only just realised that you published this video Martyn, slipped through the subscriptions net! Very good video, and very nice to see you filming down my neck of the woods. Very impressed with the Great Washford shot and of the A4 rounding the bend at Mottisfont. I understand that there was a speed restriction imposed on 4492 at Mottisfont on the westbound line. The same restriction wasn't applied on the eastbound run in the evening (as I discovered when I went there!)

Great video. You must be mad chasing this train all round the south!

@mitchy754 Thanks for your kind comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Some beautiful shots. Nice scene setting. That jogger at the beginning could've been in an ad for breakfast cereal or something. Lucky with the 444 as well. Lovely shot at Ashurst.

@AndreiTupolev Thanks very much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Another nice day out to get the blue A4, I have to say that these Bath Spa Express itineraries have not appealed to me really well but the weather in this run was certainly one to saver. If only the regulator on the A4 could of been kept open at Great Wishford you would've had the right exaust through out!

@GreatWestern175 Thanks Ryan. You get some days when things don't always go to plan but this wasn't one of them. No hold ups, and a nice variety of shots made this an enjoyable days filming.

[Steamclips]

Excellent footage as ever Martyn and nice to see the night view from Beechen Cliff, which gives a little more light than the view from Bathwick Hill. Alan

[1Z64]

@Steamclips Thanks Alan. I looked at the possibility of Bathwick Hill in the half light. I couldn't tell what it would look like in full darkness but was more concerned about what i'd be stepping in getting there and back in the pitch black. Beechen cliff was a better option although I knew it would only be a going away shot.

[balmesh]

Absolutely brilliant. The second shot, Ashurst, on the curve there, was a belter. Very well done, and I hope you had a wonderful day. . . . . Alan

[1Z64]

@balmesh Thank you very much indeed Alan. The Ashurst was okay apart from my tripod head slipping at the vital moment. But it was a wonderful day.

I was watching this first part of this video Martyn, and thinking, what a beautiful time of the year this is for filming steam, then you come up with the stunning footage at Bath....another fantastic piece of work, and well done for putting in all that effort to produce such amazing results....Bob

[1Z64]

@robmasterman Thank You Bob you're too kind. Filming this time of year is very hit and miss weather wise. This particular day was mild and often sunny but I love filming after dark where conditions don't come into it as long as it's dry. I was pleased with the results at Bath but just wished the actual shot of the train could have been better.

[robmasterman]

@1Z64 You're too self critical Martyn....but that's not a bad thing....Keep them coming...Bob

[EMuksteam]

Brilliant video That was an awful lot of traveling but a great days filming. The night shot at Bath was especially good.

[1Z64]

@EMuksteam Thanks mate I had a great day but didn't expect the Bath shot to work as well as it did.

[collieultimo]

Again a brilliant video, Martyn, congratulation for that. The first shot gives an excellent view of the locomotive. On this nice autumn day you managed to get some super pictures added with nice scenic evening shots (...and four dogs!).

[1Z64]

@collieultimo Thank you, it was an enjoyable days filming. I thought you'd enjoy the dog shots and I think you'll find there were at least six.

[TheWesternExplorer]

Excellent shots as usual. Particularly enjoyed Great Wishford and the night shot at Bath.

[1Z64]

@TheWesternExplorer Thanks very much i'm glad you enjoyed it.
