It was in 1986-1990 when I used to get the Pullman (or the Pullman service if that's what it was) but it was really fast and would go all the way from London Euston to Blackpool. I would get a return for around £10 because I had a pass to get 90% off train fares. For an extra £1 I could reserve...

The magnificent Pendolino passes through Layton at 10:53 this morning. these are my favourite trains to watch. So while being a rail fan, I admit to not being very knowledgeable about all things so I have a question. Years ago when I lived in and worked in London on the London Underground I...

I think this one turned out better than my last video. I got a much better vantage point and was able to film from closer. I'm also recording the entire process of extending the new tram lines from the promenade to the station. I probably won't put the video links up here (unless people want...

Thanks, I didn't notice that. I'll change the title.

thanks for the heads up, I think mine should be okay though as they have my name on them, but I'll keep an eye out nonetheless.

Was just going to film the tram tracks but I took a little detour to film the Pendolino Class 390 016 leaving the station. :) the tracks you see at the beginning of the video are the new tram tracks that will link Blackpool North Station to the tramway. I'm recording the whole process for my...

In the 1980s I used to work in London and I remember getting the Pullman from Blackpool to London. It only made a couple of stops, usually at Preston and Crewe. it was insanely fast taking around three hours to get to Euston and if I remember right, it would sometimes do it in less than three...

Thanks for adding my videos to the CV though not all my channel videos are railway/train related. I record a lot of stuff around my hometown as well. Anyone is free to watch anything of course, (I have almost 1,500 videos on my channel) I'll probably be filming around Layton Station today when I...

This is the fourth video in my series. I got some good close up footage in this one. I had to find different places to film as I eventually got 'thrown off' the station and was also told to leave Wilkinsons Car Park. As always anyone is completely free to link any of my videos or playlists...

I took a ton of photos during the electrification. Rather than post every single pic individually I made them all into a photo video. I think I got them all in chronological order. Anyone is free to link any of my videos in any albums on any sites. My whole playlist is linked a few posts back...

Hi Dave I'm completely happy for anyone to link my videos anywhere for anyone who wants to watch them. Here is a link to my playlist (for some reason it starts from week 2 instead of week one) I'm not a professional or anything, that's obvious from the quality of the videos, I just film for...

This is a flashback to week 2 in my videos. If you watch at 1 min 45 secs in the video it shows how bad the weather was that week and how muddy and waterlogged the site looked. It was freezing cold filming then. I definitely didn't envy the workers who all seemed to be ploughing on whatever the...

Hi everyone. I just joined the forums earlier today. i live in Blackpool and have recorded the entire electrification process. I've made a video every week for the last 22 weeks. this is the link to my first video. It's a bit short, but the others are longer and they get better as I get...
