Nice vid Mike...not bad for 1hr..

[NN2Blue]

@stestepney Bit lucky! In the Feb 2010 timetable there were 74 freights scheduled through Northampton on the busiest day (24hours) Mon - Fri. Not sure what it is now! Thanks. Mike

[NN2Blue]

@trainfart Possibly a little too bright; no contrast. Thanks for commenting. Mike

[pwalpar]

Terrific video Mike

[NN2Blue]

@pwalpar Thanks Walter - when you time it right, the Intermodals just rattle through! Bit lucky with the mix on this one - went to video a train that did not appear after all! LOL! - Mike

These electro diesels where supposed to replace HST's Mike, and were planned to be used under the wires where they exist, and then the rest of the system where they would revert to the diesel engines....funny how everything in Wales is being cut back or being got rid of....Bob

[NN2Blue]

@robmasterman Not too many Tory or Libdem Seats to be lost Bob! This is just the start. :-(

[robmasterman]

What an excellent video Mike, Diesel and Electric traction including the RHTT Train...and all in an hour...wonderful stuff....Bob

[NN2Blue]

@robmasterman Thanks Bob! Take a good look at those wires - we are not going to see any of those in God's Country in our lifetimes! What are these hybrid electro-diesels that are being whittered on about? I would guess diesel God's side of the Severn Tunnel and electric for the rest? Mike

Great stuff

[NN2Blue]

@DavidMichael182 Thanks David - I like the days when it's busy. Mike

[balmesh]

Thanks very much. Enjoyed that.

@balmesh Thanks Alan; the south end bottleneck certainly allows time to study everything flowing through. - Mike
