As most of the route has been covered in my other videos I have just put Station and Junction names till the areas that I have not covered before.
This is a home made route video and thus not all information might be correct and this should not be used as a official training aid.

My Granddad used to drive steam engines on these lines during and after the war, he had his train shot up by the Germans twice in a month either side of Witham. After he retired and they were changing over to diesel he said that it took him an hour with steam from Colchester to Liverpool Street and it doesn't matter what they do with trains it will always take an hour.
I bet he had some stories to tell about that
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck To be honest i barely remember, he's been dead for 50 years. But the Germans stuck in my mind and the time to London, plus he liked the winters more than the summers, too hot on a footplate in summer. I don't suppose you have so much trouble with Messerschmitt's now?
Haha I would be a bit worried if I had too, I have been told stories of trains being used as target practice for the American A-10's when they was based in Suffolk
What a Fantastic Video More Please
As and when I can 👍
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck Looking Forward to them
Looked like line side bushes were covering a bunch of speed signs coming into Ipswich, is that pretty common or is something amiss there?
Great video .r u going to do one on the Acle route?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I am hoping to eventually capture the whole of Anglia so at some point hopefully I will do Acle
As you come out of Romford station,
What do those yellow painted line represent between the rails you was running on.
Great video yet again from you.
Many Thanks
@john45305 That is from the Network Rail Stoneblower it leaves a strip of yellow paint a set distance apart to mark where it is working
Loved watching this cab ride i wonder if they will extend the queen Elizabeth line one day beyond shenfield.via Colchester/southend.
@mitchellgiffard1978 thank you for watching am glad you enjoyed the video, you never know they might extend it that far one day
Thanks. Can you tell us why were you routed from Reedham to Gt Yarmouth and back, before you turned off to Lowestoft?
That what I was going to ask, for want of a better description why did you not go right coming out of Reedham?
I had to refresh the route as I hadn't been over it for a while, and if we don't keep up with our routes, then you can not go over them
in the first 10 minutes what are the whistle sounds for?, no sign of track equipment.
That I believe is just different sounds you can hear as I can honestly say I only sounded the whistle before I moved at the start and not again till I had to which was much later on
What is the top speed you can to do?
The machine is limited to 60Mph
The "Reedham single" track is a bit rough! I bit like the Isle of Wight, Ryde-Shanklin, which seems to be shingle rather than ballast in places. Nice long trip. Thanks.
@tonywise198 Glad you enjoyed the video and the Reedham Signal is a bit ruff to drive over, I don't think there are any plans to renew the track there any time soon
6J90 by any chance?
Yes it was
Out of interest, why didn't you go directly to Lowestoft
I had to refresh to Yarmouth as I hadn't been over the route awhile. If I didn't, it would be taken off my route card
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck that explains it, a great video with plenty of looping etc
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck and those beautiful swing bridges
I was lucky enough to see inside of one last year and see the inside workings of it
Great, but I do wonder what the point of this trip was!
It was a transit move as the machine had been working out of Romford at the weekend, but it then needed to be moved to Lowestoft, ready for it to work on the East Suffolk Line that night
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck Do you then return to London by passenger train? Thanks.
On this occasion we got a passenger train from Lowestoft about 06:30 in the morning before the move to get us to Romford in time to do the pre departure checks
