Description
Now I wouldn’t normally make a video this big in one go. However I did a overnighter spotting trip at Stafford on the 4th & 5th of April so I thought I’d put it all on one video to show the sheer quantity of freight and variety. So grab a cuppa, sit back relax and enjoy the video. Never would I do an overnighter in the UK again, sadly a lot of the freight seen here has since ceased to run.
