Are you always double headed in video's and what you normally dragging 👍

"Dear Mary, Yes, it will be bliss To go with you by train to Diss, Your walking shoes upon your feet; We'll meet, my sweet, at Liverpool Street." John Betjeman to Harold Wilson's wife, incredibly.

Why is the AWS intermittent ?

Do you just take these two locomotives out on runs or are you pulling wagons ?

I surprised they didn’t lose you (detection) in the DGL at Barham.

Dave was always a better than driver than @mickLewis

I really enjoyed the video, but it would have been helpful to have captions showing information such as each station passed, the location, tunnels and their length, as well as any other relevant information. But that was a nice journey. I wish I could have been in the cab, it would have been more enjoyable.

Can we have some captions on the next one? Thanks

Hi, not living in the UK, what are these locos and what are they used for? You can hear the alarm for the ‘dead man’s alarm’ but not the signal warning alarms?

Pity about no live sound. Otherwise interesting.

Is the drain train coming back to Colchester on the 14/15th December? There's another 6JO9 working according to rail record?

This thing sounds like Darth Vader.

Very interesting, I'd never seen the link under Highbury Fields from a traffic perspective before, only the line from the Drayton Park and Corsica Street ends.

Was the 2nd leg of the journey, Colchester to Diss, recorded?

Some captions would have been useful.

Me at 30:01 fat guy by the footbridge

You're either driving a set of class 20's or you driving a tamper, from the sounds of the rattling going on in the cab I'm thinking a pair of 20's

witch loco are you driving?

Thank you, very interesting.

Names of stations would be great!

The new sidings for the Class 701 fleet just before Feltham.

Absolutely brilliant is there a part 1 to this ❤

Interesting video but can we have the real soundtrack?

Near Where I live Derby Excellent Video Mick

Oh, and why are there 3 tracks leading north up to Clay Cross? There was nothing on the third line all your video. England is so over-provided.

How many lines did the Midland Railway think they needed? Some of the route it looks like it used to be 8 tracks. The Midland coal trains chugging round with their 4-4-0s! Ugh boring! I used to live next to Chesterfield railway station. I wasted 3 years of my 20s - 3 years of my 20s - in Chesterfield. Can a hellhole be boring? Yes, Chesterfield. And you end up at Staveley! OK, Barrow Hill, but much the same. Actually I loved the crossing opening at the end. But Chesterfield was a big mistake - BIG!!!! They say that when you die you don't regret the things you did but only what you didn't do. They didn't spend time in Chesterfield! You can regret the things you did!

Edited loop sound.... NOPE NO THANKS BYE

Will there be a video from System - Barrow?

Some captions along the way would have been nice to see along with the video. Still a nice ride.

8:30 Who else but the British would make a railway tunnel look like a Medieval castle? I like it!

Rutland...the only uk county with only a single railway station

I suppose it’s better to have sound (others may disagree) although it’s bears no relationship to the journey, as witnessed by AWS bells/buzzers going off with no relationship to the AWS magnets ~

Wigston North jcn, where I used to do my 'spotting' in the 70s...... 😊

I agree about the soundtrack. It's a shame because authentic audio adds a lot to the cab view experience. I guess it's better than total silence, as in some videos, but still a shame. Apart from that - good stuff.

whats up with the soundtrack? it sounds like its on a repetitive 2 minute loop. No AWS or horns at whistle boards, no sounds of passing trains or over pointwork. Sounds like its taken from a train simulator!! Just looked at your other videos and they all use the same soundtrack. I'm assuming this is due to operational restrictions?

what class of loco/ train is this ? what a weird a hypnotic noise, as a driver myself i've never heard anything like that..

nice one Mick! Great video

What is this engine(s) being used for !!!

Were you not whistling because it was after hours (summertime evening light), or does the soundtrack not match the actual video?

nice video. "Driver's eye view" - except for the last 2 minutes, when I assume you walked throught o the other cab

Enjoyable: was the AWS a bit random !!!

Very nice trip

I remember in the 70’s it was rare to see 20’s at Wellingborough but would occasionally work into Finedon Road on a Coal Train on a Saturday morning in place of a 44 Peak. I see most bridges have gone or lined out and the Lever Boxes and Semaphores all gone too. The lines Midland character has gone as well. Progress.

Good video, was wondering that class 20 loco you have, do you use them for pulling stuff during your videos or what do you use them for??

Excellent! And good to see how much OHLE has sprung up since whenever it was I last caught a train beyond Kettering.

Awesome video Do you ever pass through Hinckley station at all me and my girlfriend live in Hinckley what train you were driving from Wellingborough to wigston north

Isn't there talk of reopening to passengers ?

Remind me - is this a measurement train?
