I've now been able to include current speed for the first time in one of my videos as well as the maximum permissible speed.

Inclusion of current speed is such a great addition. Really gives context to the sights and sounds of the engine!
-
You know a line has "light" traffic when the adjacent tree branches scrape along the side of the loco. It's a nice added dimension to hear the communications with the signaller. Thanks.
-
Speedy work Ben, considering you only worked this turn earlier today. A brilliant bit of footage. Thanks very much for sharing such a unique perspective.
-
Awesome, I especially enjoyed your chats with the signaller. Most others edit them out or mute them.
-
This is fascinating to me. So much detail on such a short trip. I know this area so well, and even more so now. Enjoyed the experience. Thankyou.

the quality of the video image is unreal! Well done

Great trip like the speed indicator, helps with previous films and information 👍

Love it!!! Great to see you back and on some freight routes. Live speed is an excellent inclusion, brilliant.

Morning Ben. Just come across your channel and have subscribed 🤩 Fantastic ride down one of the busiest freight lines back in the 70s when I was a lad train spotting lol 😆 love the speed showing as it gives an added dimension to your videos & also the commentary to the signalman was awesome 👏🏻 as we don’t usually have the privilege of that 👍🏻

Many thanks for posting this vid. Very enjoyable. Would like to see more trips if possible. Thks

Around four years ago I was walking the towpath of the semi-derelict Sankey Canal alongside this line and noticed an enlarged gap in the palisade fencing close to the distant signal FF1. The canal at that point has a blockage in it allowing access up to the fence. I reported it to Network Rail, kept an eye on it on subsequent walks, and noted it had been fixed a couple of weeks later. It would appear to be an issue still!
