Great video.Thanks.
Congratulations on getting 6000 subs! The Footex looked amazing with the 86's on and that really fresh intercity paint job.
Wow, some people are real cocks. Was that guy taking a photo of the inside of your camera . Selfish or what. Nice vid mate. All the best with the channel. 👍
Nice one Luke and well done for putting up with the rain and the photo-bomber at Stafford.😄
Excellent Luke. Are you doing a 48 hour special for 7000 subs🤔🤣🤣
Great video Luke 👍
😛📸
6000+ well done good vids
Love the 20s still being used. So much character
Congrats on 6k subs Luke well deserved .
Another ace vide mate, on my birthday as well [12th] spent a really good B – Day at the Great central railway for the English electric running day.
Yet another cracking video, thanks very much indeed Luke.
Always get your into intereputed by a train lol great shot of the class 20s roaring through &4 class 37s amazing
Thanks Luke, another nice one. I always wanted to know the trick of great rail photography and you have revealed it @ 5.18.
Fantastic c Stuff so love what you do and the presentation is awesome Mike
This was a fantastic watch Luke. Was good to see the action at Stafford, and a pleasure to meet you there that day. Another gooden from you! Good 86s at Cheadle and Drain train too! Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie
Another great video Luke loved the two 86s .
69012 is now painted in eastleigh and out on the rails with new name
A great, interesting mix Luke. 👍👍👍
Superb video again Luke.
Great work again Luke, some fantastic catches there – can't decide if the 37 convoy or the 86's were my favourites this time (fortunate timing for the 86's too!) Just seen 69012 in its new livery on another channel – looks stunning, full marks to GBRF again! Full marks too to the driver of 66003 – good effort on the horn…!! 😅
66 306 still with ssccaanniiaa's graffiti on it
Hi Luke, another great video thank you. Don’t know if you have seen photos of it yet but 69012 has been painted in two tone green and looks absolutely stunning!
Nice to see the 86 ‘Les Ross’. You probably already know that Les was a broadcasting legend and rail enthusiast here in the Midlands. I was a massive fan of his from the mid 70s for over 25 years on his radio shows. Now at 75 years he is still doing a bit on local radio. Again thanks for the video especially the four 37s in tandem. Magic stuff! Cheers and Regards Colin👍
Great watch again thx Luke 👏👏.
Nice to see the class 20’s at Wigan .!!( reminiscing my childhood at springs branch) thx for the commitment .!!👍
Brilliant video Luke. Stafford must be my favourite station, so much freight. Keep up the good work mate 👍
i have said it before and will say it again you cant beat the old locos for how they sound great video Luke as always hope you had a fab holiday
