To Ash Vale, on 10 March 2020, to wave farewell to Flying Scotsman. My attempt to film it on the Mid Hants Railway was frustrated by a downpour and rain on the lens. Ash Vale, not the prettiest of stations, has long platforms, which was just as well as a service train rolled in as 60103 was approaching. Thankfully it had four coaches, rather than the possible twelve! Flying Scotsman, breaking loose from its 25 mph limit on the MHR was working up a gallop - almost a steam train at speed!

My mum took me across to platform 2 at Coventry to see one in about 1965. It blew off the drain cocks and I ran back crying to my dad. Even though I would only have been 4 at the time I retained the memory of it - a small black loco with a tender. Pretty sure that it was one of Coventry shed's two Ivatts.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about watching a steam locomotive on the mainline is don’t stand on the opposite platform but I’m so glad that 450 unit left the platform before it arrived and didn’t obscure everyone’s view! 😂

That was slow! In the late 1950’s I used to go train spotting at Didcot. One day the “Cheltenham Flyer” came through at what I was told was about 90mph. No smoke. No steam. Just a rhythmic and rapid thud, thud, thud. I never saw a repeat from any train again. I expect the number is in my Ian Allen trainspotters book, which my brother who is a volunteer at Quainton now has.

There really needs to be an investigation into the term “at speed” this steamer wasn’t even out of second gear.

Half the video showed a diesel unit, the other half was the steam engine pulling just a single coach. Somewhat underwhelming.

Apparently even the trains drive on the wrong side there 🙄

@dougaltolan3017 5 ай бұрын

Sure thing. Seems that it's the faster side though.... :P

Fun fact: Most French trains also drive on the left. Trams and metro trains drive on the right, and so do mainline trains in Alcase, but most drive on the left.
