Really excellent footage. I went in 2010 and was sorry to have missed this, but your film made me realise just how good the Great Central is.

@jayengee Many thanks for you kind comment. This year saw my first ever visit to the GCR, its only May, and Im already looking to go for my fourth visit by the end of the month.

Excellent footage and very well produced, the scene at 8:32 could have come from "Oh Mister Porter" Top class!! The GCR seem to know how to put on a great event. Thanks for posting regards Phil.

@981smithy Thank you very much for watching and commenting, Phil. Indeed it was an amazing event, with a fantastic timetable. It was my first experience of the GCR - and now Im smitten by it!

@trainfart Thank you mate - from somebody who produces such great videos as you, that is very kind of you. It was a great steam gala, and look forward to getting back to this line a few more times this year.
