Thanks for the kind comments. The clip is recorded from 43167. An absolute beast :P
Which one is you on the 37 video ?

I believe I'm in the third carriage, at the Crewe end of the train. I was staring towards the huge crowd (it's extremely rare for me to find such amounts of spotters down my way, so it was amazing to see!) on departure. If it helps I'm wearing a jumper from Primark, bought a few years ago, in navyish blue.

EDIT: Trying 60001 again now.

OK, not as good quality but here's what it's like to see and hear an HST accelerating at top speed past you :P

Apologies about the 11Mb filesize for a poor quality video but it's worth it!
Wait a few minutes for the video to finish uploading.

I'll try that vid again sometime soon. I've got to get going. Playing 60001 vid, now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Quality 60 haulage there, it's where they come to life, on heavy freight trains. Indeed, if you get the right driver, right 60 and a good heavy load, put it all on the through road at Newport on a red, set it to clear and HELLFIRE!

Just found this video of 60050 leaving Harpenden on an engineers. Ignore the running with camera; listen to the sound 8)
