I'm glad this exists. I remember every inch of this route. having been back and forth on it so many times in the 80s, running from one thing, or chasing some other thing, or both.

Props to the driver here for not telling his cab companion to just shut up 😂

Takes me right back to my childhood this. Proper trains to. Would love the full version of this video.

Very enjoyable video. Reminds me of many trips on this line before the cheap flights came. Only one side of Holyhead station is now used, no more 10 carriage combinations all the way to London. Even the ferries are berthed miles away from the station, whereas they used to pull up alongside the platforms decades ago.

Great video, really appreciated. Shame about Tim Nice But Dim in the background though. Keep on rockin' 😎

A fascinating view of what was, I wonder what remains

Maybe a daft question..... Did the eve electrify the Chester to Holyhead route? When I lived over there circa 40 yrs or so, there was a lot of talk about it.

Never was electrified despite numerous pressure groups, including at one point the Government of Ireland.

Thanks I remember the MP of the time gor flint east Barry Jones tried to do his bit. An absolute disgrace They talk of opening up the north to high speed rail, - they can't even upgrade what they have. Thanks

Nice video but slightly spoilt by the woman talking in the background.

Great footage, but the geeks in the cab give trainspotters the odd image.

Bloke in the passenger seat up front with the driver needs to keep his gob shut. The driver needs to concentrate. He should’ve sent him out. Never heard so much drivel out of one man’s mouth
