I can't help thinking the beautiful Blue Pullman would look stunning with buffer beams as some class 43 HST sets also had Hull Trains and some East Midland sets. When the prototype class 89 entered service Kings Cross - Peterborough a Class 43 unit was utilised as a driving trailer for push-pull operation fitted with buffers. I enjoy your videos, Thank You!
Great footage as always Les. I happened to be fishing on the end of the big pier in Whitehaven so I had a great view of the Midland Pullman snaking it's way around the coast!
The Blue Pullman is still my favourite train and this HST version looks the part. Always well presented train and staff with their replica uniforms give it that special touch.
I wonder if anything was afoot when both the spent ballast and the logs were both directed through 'C' road. That Class 70 made a most satisfactory low level growl - compared to the previous DRS Class 66 - as it pulled away with the logs.
Just ONE wagon load of those logs would keep my wood burner fuelled up for the rest of my life....! The Blue Pullman looks fantastic. Long it may continue. I'll book a ride on it when I retire. That front bogie wasn't very far away from the P4's edge.....

Such a beautiful train The Midland Pulman . That Colas 70 must have some power to pull those logs up Blae Moor. Thank you
It certainly is. The 70s are very powerful beasts.

I expect it was down to whichever signaller was on the station panel. They do make a nice sound, showing the ease at which they can haul a load
Always nice to see the Pullman. Good one Leslie.
Thanks Tim
In an age when there are some hideous liveries about - especially down south - the Midland Pullman is just perfect. It always films well.
Looks great
Very nice video to come home to. ❤
Thank you! 😃 Hope you had a great time
Lovely video, Leslie.
Thanks

Yes 20-21 wagons all going into board for constrution! I'd like to be able to afford the Pullman too!
