    Great video as always. A great catch as well seeing the LSL charter.

      Many thanks @HSTPaul, we generally find that LSL aren’t too far away when we go somewhere lol, they’re either going to the same destination or one close to it for some reason.

      @Shoddy127 they must be following you lol most of the time when I'm able to get out for tours it's usually only ever one. But I live in Kent and we don't get that much apart from the VSOE which is usually a 67.

    So very sorry to hear of the passing of your friend, Craig Potter and seeing the name plate on the Black Five certainly did him proud. Lovely trip on the Reading to Taunton line which I've experienced earlier on the last day of HST from Plymouth to London Paddington in May 2019 on youtube.
    This is the second trip I've had going the opposite direction the first being a DMU Hastings diesel doing the run to Hereford, then Newport via Westbury, Bath and Bristol then the Severn tunnel. Lovely line with gorgeous country views. Thank you for a high class video, much appreciated.
