Great capture, surprised how quickly FR20 got up to speed out of Watchet! Really liked the shot of 44871 arriving into Minehead beneath the clock and platform 1 sign... excellent! I do enjoy your filming style... keep them coming!

Great video mate I saw 44871 at Minehead.

Excellent video but the closing piece of music could have been more suitable as it sounds like a funeral piece.

I didn't get to choose what the band played, if I was to follow the timeline, the band actually played before Furness arrived at Watchet but I felt the clip would be better placed at the end of the video. Glad you liked the rest of the video 🙂
