Great coverage Chris, I bet you were glad to finally see the Brit up there.....Bob

@robmasterman Bit of a treat for us Bob with both Brits going so well. But not much up here for the Christmas run-up after a hectic summer. Best wishes to you for Christmas and 2012. Chris

@khankadet A merry Christmas & a Hally New Year to you and your family as well Chris....Bob

Super footage Chris, with some very steady camerwork at Wardle. Nice to see the Chester departure from the "other side". Good to see you again

Mike

@rab4472 Thanks Mike. Really pleased to see you and have a chat at Chester despite you and Austin nicking the best spot. Chris

Superb coverage Chris, 70000 certainly seems to be a crowd puller lets hope we get to see her in 2012 on the Northern fells. Thanks for posting.

Cheers Phil.

@981smithy Thanks Phil. Either of the Brits in the hills would do me. Sure they'd makea cracking noise and cope well. Chris

Nice shootin' Chris. Great shot at Wardle. Lovely departure shot from Chester. Please have a look at my film of Brit leaving Euston. I think you'll like it. Barry

[khankadet]

@bkendlerA4 Thanks Barry. The sun was kind at Wardle and we just go the departure before the light went too far. Seen your video and commented. Chris

Nice one Chris. Lovely shot of her at Wardle. All the best...Tim.

[khankadet]

@siobhan104 Thanks Tim. The sun made a big difference. Bit nippy still though! Chris

Great stuff. I think Mike and Austin were there before you at Chester and nicked the best place, but you did better at Wardle, I think. . . . . Alan

[khankadet]

@balmesh Thanks Alan. Yes they certainly got the choice side but at least I saw a steam engine working well and had someone's excited children for company! Chris

[balmesh]

To khankadet

You did indeed, and when I think of what I suffered yesterday (it was freezing) to get a DIESEL then you definitely have the edge!

Excellent camera work as ever Chris, sooner they let 70000 loose on Shap and the S&C the better . Looks like you had company with Mike and Austin on the bridge. Regards Steve

[khankadet]

@TheStephengthompson Thanks Steve. Yes please - reckon either of them would make a fine fist of it and a super noise. Yep, Mike and Austin beat me to the best spot but never mind. Had a good chat with them. Chris

[khankadet]

@73096std5 Thank you Matt - no Brits for ages and now we have two out on the mainline and don't they sound good? Chris

[EMuksteam]

Brilliant video ,great coverage of the departure from a popular advantage point.Great camera work. "liked"(C&A)

[khankadet]

@EMuksteam Thanks C&A. I was aiming for the platform for a change but couldn't manage it so joined Austin and Mike on the bridge. They had the better angle but at least mine's slightly different! Still managed to pick up that gantry!! Chris
