Spa Valley Railway - 4th June 2011

A video of my visit to the Spa Valley Railway, my local that I'd somehow never been to before.
Jinty 47493 and Crompton 33063 were the days service locos.


*The Spa Valley has completed it's extension, however another railway hoping to do similar and connect with the mainline is the Bluebell, please consider donating*

Very nice video Daniel. I like the first shot of the 33 and Jinty arriving at Eridge, the old and new contrast as the 171 passes the Jinty, and the shot of them leaving for Tunbridge Wells. It looks like they have done a very good job on Eridge station. I hope to be visiting the line later this summer, it looks a very nice line. Liked

Thanks Jamie, its a nice little line, and it does feel strange at Eridge as the old passes new, but the station is very good as you say.

Thanks very much. Been living in Kent for years but never visited this outfit.

Thanks Alan, I'd give it a visit if you can, it was a really good day, and there is a nice woodland walk at High Rocks too to break up the day if you wish.

I would if we still lived in Kent, but now we are in Wales. The Gwili is my local.

Very attractive and professional piece of videoing. Very informative, too, plus the fitting tribute to R J Mitchell. Lovely walking country.
