A fantastic video from a less well covered part of the network. I sort of remember Belstead from my days out & about in the late 80/90s. Vegetation and growth has totally changed the view - but that open curve gave you a great viewpoint between the catenary. A great film, thank you for compiling and uploading - much appreciated.

Well I'm glad you enjoyed my video mate, I was around this part of the country for two days so I'm going to start editing my last video very soon to upload on Sunday or Monday. Thank you for tell me how the view was at Belstead 40 years ago.

Super video Mike, the last time I went to Manningtree to film the trains either didn't run or came in via Ely. Well done 🤓 stay safe 💙

Tony that was very bad luck, I do like Manningtree but because I had been there a few time I wanted to try somewhere new.. Cheers Mike.

It was worth the walk... Although I'm now in my 78th year I feel I must get out again into the Valleys but there's so few coal movements since Aberthaw closed. Keep travelling, the results you provide are very worthwhile for we viewers...Mike in Llanblethian

Mike that is very nice you saying that about my videos, I will certainly keep getting out there while I can as you never know what's round the corner these day, Yes Mike you get on a train and venture out for a few hours. WM Mike.

Oh yes David I still like to travel once a week, ok this was a two day trip which I would like to do more of, but most places these days David can be done in a day with a early start. Thank you very much for watching. ps That place on the outskirts of Ipswich took a bit of working out to find.

Great location, Belstead bank outside Ipswich Mike. Those 90s 009 & 014 are on familiar stomping ground, it’s just the goods they’re hauling has changed.

Cheers Bryan I could not remember the name of the second place I went to, but It took some working out where to park my car, and then find it on foot. Thanks again Bryan and yes I like your bit about the 90s. Mike.

@@antman09ful1 the way the 720s are settling with the issues over buying the next ones I would say your right Mike the 321s will be around for a while. But originally the plan was for them to be gone pretty much by the end of this year. The renatus units (301-330) will go last as they and the ex northern 321/9s and 322s are PRM compliant. An old 321 unit always has to be with a renatus or ex northern unit like the pacers at the end had to be with a 150 for example. If not GA would be breaking the law. Needless to say logistically this has been hard work for maintenance.

Hiya Mike... So sorry I haven't been in touch with you recently only I have been somewhat poorly my friend.... Was that location near Ipswich up near the Orwell Bridge, not far from Ipswich Dock? Only it looked familiar mate.... Nice captures and brilliant location bud.... Please give my regards to Sue and Dolly mate...

As I've said before Nige there is no need to apologise for not making a comment, because If I don't see your name I know you are nor well. The main thing is I hope you a feeling better Nige, all is ok this end with us all, and that place was near to the docks I believe which I've been told is called Belstead Bank. Mike.
