BR in the 2010s Micheldever + Popham No 1 Tunnel (Hampshire)
Micheldever + Popham No 1 Tunnel (Hampshire)
15th August 2012
On this rather dull weatherwise day, certainly not Railway wise, I found myself chasing a special around the South, starting at Micheldever, again first from the mouth of Popham No 2 tunnel, and then from the North end of the station platform. There were several Freightliner trains captured on video and The Dorset Coast Express with 34067 'Tangmere' running to Weymouth. In addition to this a Network Rail Class 57 was seen heading North and a few other surprises.
Later in the day once the weather had cleared up a little, I captured on film the return working of the Dorset Coast Express from the Northern end of Popham No 1 tunnel, this time heading for London waterloo and with Steam Locomotive 70013 'Oliver Cromwell'. Again several freightliners passed by on their respective duties.
I hope this video takes you back to the period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read, and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually. If you have enjoyed this production, then please like and subscribe...
