No wonder it's so expensive to travel in all that luxury, those coaches are immaculate Mike, and another excellent piece of camera work, everything so much quieter than when you filmed the steam passing through....Bob

@robmasterman Yes, the tranquility lulled me into a false sense of security. LOL!

It's an interesting spot in the peace and quiet - as you can see, the south end of Northampton Station is a classic bottleneck. The Northern Belle was immaculate; the camera, good though it is, barely does justice. - Mike

Terrific vid Mike - you really captured the colours well. Northampton looking lovely in Nov. Cheers & thanks for sharing. Regards. Mike.

@stablestaple Thanks Mike - If I am honest, I rather cocked this one up by switching off the recording - and hastily switching it back on again! Fortunately, the experience sharpened my up for the main event forty minutes later - Black Five to Euston! - Mike

Nice shot Mike. Was lucky enough to have a day trip to Scotland on the Northern Belle last year - the coaches are very nice on the inside, as is the grub they serve up. Stu
