Cheers mate, certainly a good performance through Darlington! Yes, they're still not my favourites lol but she did impress me today. Hope you're well too as always mate! Regards, Dan
Why are they using modern coaches with windows that don't open? Have they scrapped all the older coaches? Seems a shame to have all these all steam locos preserved but hardly any proper coaches.
It's all down to Health and Safety restrictions imposed by the ORR. Windows are barred shut on all operators nowadays as window hanging has been banned on the mainline since 2016. The use of sealed Mk2s is hopefully a temporary measure, as WCR was served with a revocation os its exemption which permitted it to operate non-CDL (Central Door Locking) stock. Hopefully once the dispute is solved, the Mk1s will be able to be used again, whether with CDL fitted or not. I agree it's a shame to see the hobby watered down with these sorts of things, but very little we can do, and I'm still very glad we get to see them operate mainline at all lol. Regards, Dan
Your station captures are always spot on with perfect panning technique which makes for a must view.👍
Many thanks, I'm really glad you should think so! Regards, Dan

@@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 All since that muppet did a Vivian / University Challenge.
"DO NOT LEAN OUT OF THE WINOW". Why not?
There's something about the black fives that are better than our American's ten wheelers.
Haha yes, whilst not my favourite 4-6-0s, the Black Fives can certainly pack a punch! Regards, Dan
