Old Dalby Test Track Full Northbound Cab Ride

Filmed on-board a Class 172 at the Old Dalby Test Track on a sunny afternoon in May 2010. This footage starts from Asfordby and goes right up to the North end of the line at Edwalton.
I've edited out the sections through the tunnels, as there is not much to see inside them!

Brings back memories of the 70s, but at MUCH higher speeds!

@KitSpack Thank you for your comment, much appreciated from yourself as I am well aware of your work. I have travelled a lot higher speed myself during the Pendolino project which was fun at 140mph.

OMG, would it be possible for you to contact me at paul@apt-e.org I run and look after APT-E. Is is possible to have a full copy of these runs, without cutting out the tunnel sections. You could be the answer to my all my problems.

@pleadley1967 Paul, no problem, you now have e-mail

Did you hit a pigeon just after the OHL ended?

Thanks for filming both northbound & southbound runs on the test track.

I have been lucky to have travel on the test track on the Pathfinders special 6 years ago.
