Departing Cardiff, cab view - Hastings DEMU - 18 April 2015 - Green Dragon railtour - back cab audio

Departure from Cardiff for Newport, at the start of the return leg of our Green Dragon railtour to Cardiff - www.hastingsdie...
Video footage is from an unattended cab-camera (motor coach 60116 Mountfield); audio was recorded from the rear cab (motor coach 60118 Tunbridge Wells).
Once clear of the 15mph speed restriction leaving Cardiff, it is notch 7 (full power, 1000hp combined) all the way to the approach to Newport; timing of the mileposts indicates 67mph at the point the driver shuts the master controller in anticipation of the 60mph speed restriction approaching Newport. The train is then checked down by signals anyway.

Equipment: video by GoPro Hero3+ camera with extra battery and suction-mount; sound by MiniDisc MZ-R30 recorder / Sony ECM-MS907 active mic with Rycote Softie windscreen; processing by MPEG-Streamclip, Audacity, ffmpeg, and Emacs (all free). Audio was recorded in mono rather than stereo in a bid to capture twice as much of it, though with the subsequent reversal at Maindee this turned out not to have been necessary.
