Cathedrals Express 3rd November

70000 Britannia hauled the Cathedrals Express from London Euston to Chester General and return on Saturday 3rd december 2011. See here in the gloom climbing Madeley Bank on the journey back to London. After a very blustery day the wind had dies down and Britannia was heard from probably two miles away.

The loudest clip I have heard of 70000 in action. If that is loud for Britannia imagine how loud Oliver Cromwell would have been from the same spot!

@Mikelandscaper Thanks Mike, however having heard both in similar circumstances I don't really think there is much difference between the two.

Couldn't see much. Great sound though. I have subscribed to your channel. I also filmed Britannia on Saturday, departing euston. Please take a look and comment. If you like subscribe back. Barry

There's so much atmosphere about a shot in the dark and that sound ..... superb Ralph. Nice to chat again in the morning at Wardle. Chris

@khankadet Thanks Chris, That location certainly works well after dark, I think the sky is lit in the distance with the floodlights at Basford Hall.

Good to see you and Austin again.

A rare highlight! most german steam-videos of the kids have got no motive any more - mostly warm water tours.
