  • Fantastic bit of filming. I'm not into trains but researching this one when I saw it at Sowerby Bridge. Love it how you situated the camara under the bridge for the smoke to billow down on the shot, was this deliberate ? nice one anyway.

  • Thanks for the kind comment, no planning with this one, stuck it on the tripod and pressed go ! I've filmed all the cotton mill tours so far and usually try some pan/zoom but looking down the lens, realised i've never actually seen it ! This time me and my little boy watched and waved for a change! ..............Matt.

  • Not the usual coaching stock. Great to see the cotton mill after a long break. Was Mr Seymour driving ? Nice little station there Matt thanks for posting. Brian

  • Hi Brian, not sure who had the reigns today, i will find out ! Couple of extra posh seat dining air cons today, up'd the weight a bit !!................Matt.

  • One half of the Riley duo, at it's usual best. 5*

    Hope you don't mind me asking but what was the wreath on the smokebox for?

  • Thanks mate, i presume the wreath for Bernard Staite who sadly passed away last week.  Matt.

  • Greenfield station looked surprisingly quiet, usually a busy station on a saturday. Nice video again Matt.

  • Nice one Matt, usual high standard....

  • Great footage Matt.

    Can't believe this. Went to Diggle to meet and greet and here you are at Greenfield lol.

    At least you had the sunshine. It clouded over a little there just as it came through.

  • They've grown since the signal box was dismantled which means little or no trackside clearance.

  • Great clip Matt, can't believe how much the trees have grown at Greenfield since I was last there.

  • Me and my fiancé were on the train, had a fabulous day!

  • great video was a lovely shot through greenfield station 5*

  • should have got it at copy pit it was brill
