@@Perrygallo thank you very kindly, I'd also love to see it, I unfortunately doubt that I will have the opportunity now

@charliethetrainspotter4963 I'm lucky enough to have the faintest of memories of Southern Slam Doors rushing through Clapham in their final years, seeing the VEP out again was absolutely as you say - nostalgic

@@PoxyMoxon97 year miss them

@charliethetrainspotter4963 as do I

@@court692able just how they're manufactured

@@danielsellers8707 excellent

@@mdhazeldine thank you very kindly :)

@@BritishRail60062 We all are mate, this is an amazing little unit. Have a look at my recent videos of this if you're interested :)

@@greenbean6581 I believe this was made for this event, Underground Eric will be able to answrr your question

@@Trainspotter11_ thank you that is kind, but it's a quick grab, nothing overly special :)

@@anthonywarrener1881 it looks ight 😂

@@Bakerloo-Line-Fan I didn't think they would given they've worked alongside eachother for over 20 years?

@@basictraincontent Thank you mate, yes I remember :) A lot more footage to come so keep an eye out!

@@andrewholloway231 It looks alright, nothing overly exciting to me

@@Trainspotter11_ Thank yoi very kindky, it looks ok

@@anarcho-pingu if you say so 😂

I think it left a couple of minutes early from Strawberry Hill, however, it's easy to make up time on some of these moves. Sorry that you missed it - I recommend getting there earlier than you need to on Tuesday for the return

@@PoxyMoxon97 I mean I could try depending on when it returns

@PoxyMoxon97 it was around 5mins late consistently until Clapham

​​@@kierzzz-dpdOh right, I didn't monitor it after Strawberry Hill

@@northseawolf They do look stunning in fresh liveries, but I wouldn't say modern, only fresh 😂

@@WilberoughTMD Absolutely

@PoxyMoxon97 to be honest I think it looks better than gbrf

@@WilberoughTMD an original livery will always be better than GBRf!

Yes it will I hope that one day my favourite 50 50008 thunderer will be Repainted back into its original BR laira blue tbh my favourite class 50 livery the colour is just 👌👌

@@WilberoughTMD unlikely for 50008, as it is owned by the H&H owners hence its livery

@@johncamp2567 thank you very much. That's very kind and I really appreciate it

I did mention this in the description 😉

They smashed it

@@class50thrasher Funny that I'm on holiday as well, went up to Scotland the day after these ran, but today on their return opted to drive up the (west) highlands rather than go to Edinburgh to see them If you're on Facebook and part of the Fifty Fund group it was stated on the announcement post they were both going into Grey Roof to start off with, and this info did get out elsewhere but even then yes a lot of people were still unaware of the roof colours

@@PoxyMoxon97 Ah i was making my way back from north wales and it was too indirect to go and see them fly through, and i saw the thing on them going into grey roof i was just thinking how black roof would've been more fitting with defiance. but I cant complain really as they look lush as a pair! Im just hoping the Fifty Fund can get the money for the fuel tank cleaning and get the other gubbins done on Hood so I can see her running again!

@@class50thrasher fair dos mate I understand that totally. We'll can only wait and see :)

@@bombadilian Lovely to actually see a fully-liveried Blue/Grey rake - the 1980's have returned

Wow - that Intercity coach livery is SO much better than anything nowadays!

@@robertp.wainman4094 it's brilliant

@@simonvaughan788 bloody, I bet that was fun and challenging to do so! Different railway now (unfortunately - in some ways)

@@PoxyMoxon97 yes based at Bescot but worked trains out of Saltley too.

@@simonvaughan788 fantastic

@@brianwillson9567 Apologies for that, always love getting a shot of unit giving a good climb up the bank, but those Hoovers were just ace

Thing is EMUs actually get you to point B unlike leaving Reading in the late 70s. The Triumph Stag of BR sorry!

A shaky one

@@Philb68888 My camcorder is a Panasonic HC-V210, outdated as an old machine, however, still does the job for me. That always sots on the tripod if I am set up right, otherwise I also have phone shots (listed in the descriprion) which usually come after the camcorder shots :)

@@damiendye6623 That'll be the National Geographic tripod and/or my hands 😂

@@Trainguy_spotter nice one, I video'd them at Culham on that run (check the video on my channel 😉)

@@FastlineFilms Thank you very much! That's excellent haha, I hope you got a good shot of it up there

@@PeterRapley-gv5vt 👍

@@PeterRapley-gv5vt A true preserved gem

@@thehstmatt1 I knew it would mate ;) 706 is one of the good ones, proper lairy!!

Thank you for that, I try to get the shot just right as best as I can so I really appreciate the kind words :)

Funnily enough... I was asked not to do commentary after my previous video down these tunnels. Just can't win!

@@Roy-gi5ul indeed, at least the sound isn't affected!

@@Fran-ho7qu True that!

Well it leads to a better train service on the Cross City line into Birmingham

@@peterwilliamallen1063 that it does

It looks a lot better than the chaos of the GW main line OHLE. ;)

@@jameslegg9944 Thank you, I appreciate that :)

@@maimadha Yes, I totally agree

@@shaunmaxwell9948 I mean that's irrelevant? Not only because Labour have the most seats in Scotland, but Scotrail is its own entity and not the SNP... 🤦‍♂️ you didn't that one through

@@AlanMckinley-v8n come on think about it mate... If you lived in town that only has an MOT centre for cars and you need an engine rebuild or a full restoration, then you are going to find the right place somewhere else that will carry out the work and take your car there... same applies for trains Wolverton Works houses companies such as Knorr Brnse(?) and Gemini Rail Services which specialise in refurbishment works as well as repair works, there is already contracts for Northern and Scotrail 156's, Northern 323's and others so if the 334's need a refurbishement program (which is why I believe 334004 has arrived and not for 'fixing') then why not send it to a place that is already working on your fleet and offers the service that you require? Please tell me you understand that one?

@@kierzzz-dpd thank you

@@BrianWillcox-qp2hr we all were 😂

@PoxyMoxon97 I wasn't, I spoilt my ballot paper

@@colinmelhuish1254 we'll have to see how Labour do

@@23carpetface clearly not 😂 I was just there for the day doing nothing myself. Was only around for an hour max

@@duanemarshall1889 😂😂

@@markcf83 I do believe so!

@@smilevideobritain499 Thank you Sir, very much appreciated from yourself :)

...YOU, TO SEE YOU NICE!!!

@@TheosTrainsWalesOfficial I believe a refurbishment program just like how the 156's are also going to Wolverton Works for attention. Scotrail like to retain these older trains, just a shame about the 314's

​​@@PoxyMoxon97the 314's were of a similar age to the Class 313 units and about the same as the 507's gradually being replaced on Merseyside.

​@@markcf83 absolutely, it's just a shame that Scotrail felt to only replace them

@@PoxyMoxon97All multiple units are dreadful. Long live locomotives!

@@_RabbitLeader that's an opinion, there are some good units out there in my opinion

@@derekmeller5873 oh is that right? I was unaware haha. I did think it was odd to have an 09 down here
