Where abouts is cameron going by in the video please?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Looks like South Elsmall.

 

[dstrat]

Cheers, is it 125 through there then? Looks pretty fast on the video.

Not really on my route but I'd say it was northbound between Doncaster and Leeds where it passes South Elmsall. You can see the brick abutment of the bridge which carried the former line over the main line, immediately before the water treatment works.

Is he sat in standard?

 

[DaveNewcastle]

That's Standard Class.
No curtains, no downlighters, narrow seats.

I don't recall any speeds of 125mph on the Leeds line once north of Doncaster. The max is probably still 100mph.

Yes S Elmsall, walked that stretch enough times and parked up near the sewage farm.
