Description
Having driven down from Cardiff we join the team at Willesden Depot for our trip in the cab of 66706 to Cambridge and back. Having made the recording over 20 years ago, long before You Tube, I didn't take note of all the locations and station names. However with the help of "Track Atlas" and Railway Track Diagrams" parts 2 and 5" I've managed to name 90% of places of interest.

Enjoy the journey, and thanks again to the team at
