Purple & Co Railway Adventures
Великобритания
Добавлен 14 мар 2016
After running #PurpleVision for over a year now. Its seems my passion for the railways deserves its own channel. Here you will find it all abandoned and dismantled railway, walks to discover the industry surrounding them and taking train journeys to discover so much more. Come take a journey with as I go explore our wonderful Island The United Kingdom.
Practice on Cannon Fodder at Irchester
I've not watched trains at the green bridge in Irchester before because locals inform me that the overhead wires ruin the scene. Regardless of that, I head over to capture some trains at speed with the new Panasonic HCVX90. To zoom and keep the camcorder steady is truly an art form. My hat comes off to anyone who has mastered the art of "Steadiness" with these things. I capture the Hull train from the air with my DJI-min 2 SE.

Thursday was wet and miserable, but Saturday was perfect for some lineside filming at places I've not visited before. Using...

Mmmmmm lovely Smokey exhaust, save the planet 😂...No its nonsense I'd rather hear this start up 👍.
I used to walk over that green footbridge on my way home from wellingborough to Rushden in my younger days but I found out that it is on private land on the other side as it goes to a slip road off the A45 near to ditchford lane
Yh I did walk that way just to see whats its like. I might go back but I doubt it
Good drone footage Purple..cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it
Practice makes perfect Purple and so far it's looking good. 👍.
Thank you Steve. It most certainly does but so does a remote control for the zoom button
Nice Video Purple why was Hull Trains on the MML though
I'm not entirely sure. I can guess but it wouldn't be factual
Hi purple 😊Looked ok to me,but then I'm biased 😂Good old Irchy. BTW that kotch you found near skatepark,I can see that from my house😂😂😂
How's your new neighbours then 😉
I have been trying to get on railway for years and this his hard work if they went any faster they would go to sleep
Gotta start em off young😂
Oh yes. Of course 😄 🤣
I went on the Saturday, courtesy of the 6880 Group owners reps! It was a great day :).
Oh awesome. I hope this video does them proud if they see it.
Wow! The best video I’ve seen of the gala and amazing video as always! Keep up the great work! 👍
Ah mate thank you. Your words humble me bro. Hopefully see you soon at NLR
@ no problem! Yep I’ll be there for both Scotsman and Britannia
What an epic! I'm not really a kettlehead per se but I can certainly appreciate this for sure
Thank you Simon. Means alot to me that.
Hi purple x co 😊 WOW all that STEAM and it's not even a Sunday 😂 Is there a reason why they are all hauling backwards in the first half of video?🤔
Yes because sometimes thats how life is dear Keith, absolutely backwards
Hi purple from Dan
Hiya brother Dan
@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures how are you doing with your self and with your kids and your channel
Yh ok. Just about to have our whole world turned inside out
Hornby confirmed this livery today (D6700) in the TT120 Range coming Autum 2025. Awesome to see it in action like this cant wait to have my own 😁
Wow awesome shots
Glad you enjoyed
Lovely Jubbly shots so clear 😍
Thanks! 😊
Great footage Purple Regards Edward
Glad you enjoyed it fella
Beautiful!
Thank you. Cheers
Awesome job mate ❤
Thanks Neil
Looking at the bridge at Kinchley Lane, looks like using a drone was the best option. Great video too 👍
Yh it was crammed on that bridge
26:48 is that the old signal box? I thought it was gone... Shame to see it so overgrown
Apart from the last shot(lineside trespass) that's really good footage.
Have a look on Google maps and you'll see the fence line runs up to the bottom of the abutment of the bridge. If I was trespassing then the fence needs to be moved to the appropriate position.
This is awesome Purple 👌 👏 Thanks
Glad you like it Kirk. We must meet up at some point for a spotting sesh
@@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures Look forward to that 👍
yh boy. its out now and its epic
Amazing video!
Cheers fella. Means alot
Hi purple x co 😊 EXCELLENT, Fantastic drone footage, cracking way to spend a Sunday evening 🚂🚃🚃🚃 If you get more viewers for STEAM TWAIIIINS could we have a Steam Sunday once a month? 👍👍👍
Steam Sunday? Hmmm that's not a bad shout.
Some cracking drone footage...
Thank you Tony. I wish it wasnt so busy where I flew near the reservoir area. I had to keep high as other drone pilots were flying low. Never the less I'm quite happy with how it turned out
What is the train tracking app that you use called?
Opentraintimes.com and Realtime trains
