Clips of Trains on the Longest Day of 2014

On what must be the hottest day this year so far, and of course the longest day of the year..21st June, I wanted to record a few clips of trains passing through my local station Of Pembrey & Burry Port in Carmarthenshire, West Wales.Each clip has an explanatory title, and I was amazed that I was able to record the last Westbound train of the day, a Carmarthen bound HST from London, running 53 minutes late, and coming through Pembrey near my home at 22.20.

Nice compilation Bob , downhill all the way to Xmas now ??? what a thought ..Dave

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dave, not the most exciting material, but just wanted to do something on this day...Hard to believe that the days will now get shorter...Bob

[@wooltman]

What a great little station,very well kept.

[@robmasterman]

The floral displays always improve the look of a station Chris, and they do a great job fair play...Bob

[@lucypawpaw]

Thanks for sharing Bob

[@robmasterman]

My pleasure Richard....Thanks for watching....Bob

[@TheMisterdan01]

Great shots there Bob, thanks for sharing! Cheers, Dan

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dan, it was also good to record the semaphores before they disappear...Bob

[@acw71000]

Good stuff Bob, all downhill from now though!

[@robmasterman]

Darker and Darker until the last train of the day that can be captured is 16.30 ...Now that's worth waiting for Austin...Bob

[@acw71000]

Robert Masterman Put like that it sounds very depressing Bob, thankfully we've still got some long days to enjoy!

[@davidfrobel7582]

love it Bob, the place looks so nice, I don't think the 125s get up to full speed on the pembroke line thou lol,nice video

[@robmasterman]

These HST's run on Summer Saturdays David, to give people the chance to get to Tenby by train...Bob

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Some great local Train footage Bob...on The Longest Day. Amazed you were able to capture The HST at 22.20 !! Really excellent end to a good day...best wishes...Steve.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Steve, I went out of the house just after ten, and it was quite light, by the time I'd got to the crossing which is only a few minutes away, the light was dropping fast, so I was delighted to get such a clear shot of the HST..Regards...Bob

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

I had to go to a local Hog Roast, where a neighbour had his collection of 14 cars in his garden, on with the registration DB4 ( on a DB 4 ) It was too hot there !
Thanks for the time you took making this clip.................Mike

[@robmasterman]

Lucky you!...I was on the beach until mid afternoon, got sun burnt despite putting on cream, so finished the day doing something useful...:o)...Bob

[@TrevorLedgeway]

Very nice video Bob of a very nice day and the longest day,Where's this year gone.''''

[@robmasterman]

I know Trevor, it's a sign of getting older, thanks as always for your kind comments...Bob

[@KenBrownekb71000duke]

Lovely video Bob, great images and weather. Liked the new ATW livery on the 150 unit, its an improvement as far as I can see. Superb last shot of the HST - that x920 really copes with low light conditions so well. I take it you had your machete tucked into your belt on the last clip to get through the choking undergrowth - lol! Thanks from Ken

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Ken, these latest Arrival liveries are very attractive, not unlike the 68 livery. The last shot was from a foot crossing Ken, so no Machete required....Regards...Bob

[@JPMiller14]

Fine collection on a stunning day, so many previous June 21st's have been dull and rainy haha. I thought only the Fishguard to Cheltenham was a non-stopper with you, but I can see now this was an ECS movement...... :)

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Justin....it was strange to see a 142 tear through, and how the passengers manage on a Wilmslow to Carmarthen on a 150, I just don't know.....Bob

[@EMuksteam]

Superb shots Bob .Last clip came out well . Something to film and it is diesel power (C&A)

[@robmasterman]

Thanks both, it was ideal conditions to be out on the longest day, and it was unbelievable how well the camera captured that last clip...I was very pleased...Bob

[@AndreiTupolev]

What's 150213 commemorating? 10 glorious years of Arriva Trains Wales?
I don't know what happened to the Paddington, it was 31 late leaving Paddington and 61 late at Bristol Pway.

[@robmasterman]

It would appear so Andrei, doesn't time fly! It's strange with the HST, they are usually spot on when it comes to timings...still, it made an interesting shot at the end of the day...Regards...Bob

[@TheWelshonesVideos]

AndreiTupolev Robert Masterman There were multiple track circuit failures at Burnham that effectively shut the GWML. Stuff was being turned at Slough/Reading where possible, Hope that helps.
