    Hi, and thanks for posting. Happy New Year and please keep recording and posting for 2025. I will be sorry to see EWS livery eventually disappear.

      Thank you for watching. Roll on some better and warmer weather for 2025, I've had enough of this dark grey stuff.😄 I think the EWS livery will still be around for a while yet, I heard it can take about a month to repaint a couple of locos.

    Hi. Great video. Do you know why the down line beside the tunnel is electrified but the up line is not. Always puzzles me

      Thank you Owen for watching. The line you ask about is the Down Stamford to Oakham, Melton and Leicester and it is also doubles as the Down Slow of the East Coast Main Line from Peterborough Station to Helpston Junction. A glance at google maps satellite view may help.

      Thanks for that. I always thought it was odd there was a single line next to the fast lines. Used to live near Sleaford and enjoy the container trains on the station avoiding line. Now in Scotland next to the old paddy line ( Carlisle to Stranraer).

      @@owengriffiths6383 Werrington Junction has been re-modelled many times over the years.
      Here is the layout in 1968 signalbox.org/~SBdiagram.php/?id=%20716 The left edge is Hurn Road and the right edge is Cock Lane. The Down Goods is now the Up Slow (ECML) throughout to Peterborough (bi-directional from P'boro to Werrington Junction). The Up Coal and Up Goods no longer exist (they were where the silver van was running in the video). The Down Slow was also taken out as far as Helpston and the Down Stamford doubled as the ECML Down Slow.

    Three 66s on a rake of what appears to be empties. Whatever next?

      Yes, there are a few of these type of workings between Doncaster and Peterborough and vice versa. The locos get tagged onto normal workings to get to the GBRf maintenance depots at either Doncaster (Roberts Road) or New England without having to create a new path in the timetable. You have probably seen in past videos of a few tagged onto the midday Middleton Towers sand train from Peterborough to Doncaster. Happy new year Tom.
