My most ambitious Saturday railtour

[IanPooleTrains]

As we all know, tomorrow is going to be a big day as far as railtours go because we have no less than five steam tours going and three diesel hauled rail tours going. Most of which are going through my local area.

This is how tomorrow is going to plan for tomorrow:

@ 0754 The Festive St. Nicholas Explorer from Nuneaton to Carlisle hauled by 86101 stops at Rugeley Trent Valley and then departs at 0756
@0848 The Deva Explorer hauled by 45305 'Alderman E. Draper' from Tyseley to Chester stops at Walsall before departing at 0850
@0916 The York and Durham Festival Explorer from Westbury to Durham arrives at Birmingham New Street before departing at 0936
@13:08 The Capital Christmas Express hauled by the damn black 5 arrives into London Waterloo.
@13:30 A diesel, possibly a class 37, pulls that damn black 5 out of London Waterloo to head to Clapham Yard
@14:16 The Tynsider pulled by 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' arries into London kings Cross
@14:45 A diesel, possibly a class 67 pulls 60007 out of London Kings Cross to Ferme Park
@16;12 A diesel brings in 60019 'Bittern' into London kings Cross
@16:36 The tynesider pulled by 60019 'Bittern' pulls out of London kings Cross
@17:02 A diesel brings that damn black 5 back into London Waterloo
@17:18 that damn black 5 pulls out of London Waterloo with The Capital Christmas Express

So, as you can see, it is going to be a hectic day for me tomorrow and you will all get to see everything on the forums Sunday!

They changed it again??????? It was advertised as 86101!

First it was a DRS Class 47, then it was 87002, then they advertised it as 86101 and now it is a god damn shed!

Class 67 is an skip! an Shed is an Class 66!

I am right next to you, if you want to start on me as an skip basher, go right ahead!

I think your getting your wires crossed, it was never advertised as any of those, plus it is going to York not Carlisle.

Now I think you are getting your tours cross wired. There is a tour from Nuneaton to Carlisle and there is a tour from Westbury to York and Durham, 67 is hauling both apparently

It's been a while since I've been this confused by a post.

Are you travelling on these trains?
Where are you travelling from/to?

I only ask because your post might as well be written in Chinese for all the hope I have of understanding it.

http://www.compasstoursbyrail.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=134&Itemid=42 Thats the tour from Nuneaton. It has always been a class 67.

 

[craig87034]

So the skips you'll see tomorrow

67005 on the Westbury-York
67020 on the Nuneaton-York

ta to the top man

Basically we have to be at those stations at those times to get the trains. It is complicated and I don't blame you for asking.

We start from Rugeley Trent Valley then travel to Walsall on The Chase Line and then from Walsall to Birmingham New Street, Birmingham New Street to Euston and then the tube to Waterloo and Kings Cross.

It's okay, other sites have been calling other locos, I went on there and saw what they had said so I apologise to yourself

So the skips you'll see tomorrow

67005 on the Westbury-York
67020 on the Nuneaton-York

ta to the top man

And they changed that tour because it wasd originally going to Durham, unless they terminated at York and another tour went up to Durham?

My mistake was allways going to Durham
Can confirm its 67005 also
67027 is on the Nuneaton-York

Didnt go to plan in the end? Your first train ended up starting from stafford in the end approx 2 1/2 hours late

 

[MCR247]

How did the rest of the day go?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Yep, can confirm we didn't get the first train because they had coupling problems or something or other, my brother got it in Stafford

Everything else went back to tour and bang on form as well, will post the videos up for you all tomorrow to let you all see

 

[MCR247]

Sounds like you had a good day

 

[IanPooleTrains]

A bloody good day!

 

[Chester025]

Yep, can confirm we didn't get the first train because they had coupling problems or something or other, my brother got it in Stafford

The tour was late due to the ECS being blocked in Crewe Carriage Sidings by a derailment.

Is there a real need to have 50 seconds worth of 'starting titles'? :roll:

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Is there a real need to have 50 seconds worth of 'starting titles'? :roll:

Hey, that is my intro, don't diss the intro! :cry:

Besides, I know people that are worse than that:roll:

 

[MCR247]

Sorry, but I have to say that I agree with Chester025

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion :roll:

 

[voyagerdude220]

I was actually just about to ditto this, before scrolling below the post with the links to the vids and realising that you beat me to it.

I think it's nice to have some sort of 'intro' to the vid, but i personally wouldn't have it any longer than say 5-10 seconds.

It put me off wanting to watch the rest of the video.

I don't see any need for the :roll: 'IanPooleTrains' , as I think that MCR247 and Chester025 were giving you constructive feedback.

I do understand they were giving me constructive feedback and I wasn't doing it just for their comments, I was doing it as a general thing.

When I started, I put the videos in but then I branched out and put a twenty second old style intro in but now I have this intro and I feel that this intro is part of me, part of who I am.

But if people just don't like it because of the intro, it kinda says something about them. I would rather people rate the footage and not on the basis that they just don't like a long intro.

Obviously, I do do some vids without the intro, mainly because, as my brother is finding out right now, his intro is outlasting the actual title, and people are getting fed up of that.

With my intro though, I do try and put it on the majorly big stuff so that the content outpowers the intro.

It's like some TV programs, sometimes you get a little teaser intro into the show and then the main content of the show.

So it isn't that I don't understand what they are saying because I do understand and I do take this in as well but my YouTube channel has had no complaints about it and no dislikes either. Well, one dislike but that was because someone didn't like the fact I zoomed out too quickly, which was my fault totally.

Matter of fact, I welcome all comments, I would rather people be honest with me and be up front about it. Sure, I might be a little hacked off about it but I would rather people were honest.
