Description
🚂 Britannic Explorer, Class 37 37501, GBRf Class 66s & RailAdventure HSTs!
In this video, we head to Reading Station for an action-packed session of railway filming, featuring the luxurious Britannic Explorer, GBRf Class 66s and the main highlight, Class 37 No. 37501 ‘Teesside Steelmaster’ hauling generator van No. 6374!
The following day, we’re back in Worcester for more freight action and a surprise appearance from two RailAdventure HST power cars heading to collect the legendary Flying Scotsman!
🚆 READING STATION
🔹 1V00 – 15:48 London Victoria to Haverfordwest | The Britannic Explorer
First up, we see GBRf Class 66 66748 hauling the luxury Britannic Explorer train through Reading, running a considerable 73 minutes late!
🔹 4V45 – 15:09 Quainton Railhead to Tytherington
Next, we catch GBRf Class 66s 66701 and 66729 working 4V45 in a top-and-tail formation through Reading.
🔹 5Q86 – 12:32 Yarmouth C.H.S. to Eastleigh TRSMD
The main event of the day!
We see EPR Class 37/5 No. 37501 ‘Teesside Steelmaster’ hauling generator van No. 6374 from Yarmouth C.H.S. to Eastleigh TRSMD.
A fantastic opportunity to capture this classic locomotive passing through Reading!
Between these workings, we also see a variety of Great Western Railway (GWR) and CrossCountry passenger services arriving, departing and passing through the station.
🚆 THE FOLLOWING DAY – WORCESTER
🔹 6V05 – Round Oak to Margam
Back in Worcester, we catch Freightliner Class 66 66658 working the 6V05 freight service from Round Oak to Margam.
🔹 0Z42 – 06:42 Chaddesden Sidings to Didcot Great Western Society | Flying Scotsman Collection Move
Finally, we just manage to catch RailAdventure HST power cars 43465 and 43484 working 0Z42 from Chaddesden Sidings to Didcot Great Western Society.
The pair were making their way to collect the world-famous Flying Scotsman (60103)!
This wasn’t the footage originally planned, but it was certainly a bonus to capture the power cars heading to collect such an iconic steam locomotive!
