Description
Hello viewers,
In the first of today's video an UNSEEN video that dates back to the beginning of September. I find myself on a genuine trainspotting session on a beautiful day in Summer 2021, where out of the blue, I see 2 shoeboxes, 73 965 'Des O' Brien' + 73 963 'Janice' pass Hampden Park working the monthly 'Test Train' with a mega loud 2 tone. The reason why this video was split into 2 was due to the train stopping just short of the station 'which is RARE!' as the level crossing barriers hadn't been shut down so it was instructed to wait before it passed me when they had sorted the problem.
Hope you enjoyed.
If you liked the video please consider liking and susbcribing.
