GWML @ Shrivenham and Denchworth

With the line blocked at Newbury for electrification took the opportunity to catch some of the diverted mendip stone trains between Swindon & Didcot.
With most locations now fenced off entirely setting up video equipment at locations is not the easiest, managed to get beside the line at Ashbury Crossing, Shrivenham where its still possible to shoot above the old style fencing and later at Denchworth.
The wind got up significantly in the afternoon and most shots had to be stabilized in Adobe Premier, the digital zoom in Premier was also useful to crop out OLE.

The Magic Roundabout is a road junction in swindon that consists of five mini-roundabouts arranged around a sixth central one, with everyone commuting in an anti-clockwise direction. Constructed in 1972, it is named after the famous British children's television series called The Magic Roundabout. In 2009 it was voted the fourth scariest junction in Britain, in a poll by Britannia Rescue. The complex junction offers multiple paths between feeder roads. The outer circle carries traffic in a clockwise direction, like a normal roundabout (in places where traffic drives on the left hand side of the road), and less proficient users may choose to use only the outer circle. The inner circle carries traffic in a anticlockwise direction, and more proficient users may choose to use the alternative paths.

The roundabout was constructed according to the design of Frank Blackmore, of the British Transport and Road Research Laboratory. Traffic flow around the larger, inner roundabout is anticlockwise, and traffic flows in the usual clockwise manner around the five mini-roundabouts and the outer loop.

GWR HST (43056 & 43160) With Off-Lease/Debranded Mk3s Passing Through Newton Abbot - 10/05/19

Video: A clip of Great Western Railway (GWR) HST power cars 43056 & 43160 seen working the 5Z74 empty stock transfer from Laira Depot to St Philips Marsh Depot with a rake of off-lease / debranded Mk3 coaches.
After doing some research, it appeared the coaches were taken on the 13/05/19 under 536X to Ely Papworth Sidings for storage by a ROG 47.
This was the first off-lease HST stock move I had seen, despite there being many before this and many still to follow.

45407 & 44871 on the Cathedrals Explorer

May 2011 saw another circular steam railtour run across the country. Steam Dreams ran the Cathedrals Explorer which ran from London to Scotland, all the way down to Wales and back to the capital.

This was to be a tough challenge for a 22 year old like me, as this was to mean a heck of mileages to clock up as well as driving to new areas that I had not seen in my life. But was determined to make this worth while.

This film captures the last two days of the run. On Thursday May 12th 45407 & 44871 hauled the tour from Carnforth to Carmarthen via Chester, Shrewsbury and the Heart of Wales Line. The dou hauled the tour back to London the next day.

Beginning at Chirk Viaduct on the Wales/English border the pair make a fine sight crossing the viaduct and alongside the aquaduct. After a long hot pursuit in and out of Wales we catch the pair again at Knucklas Viaduct, with 45407 making a claggy scene as the sun shines out.
Another long journey right through the middle of Wales takes us to Sugar Loaf a steep 1 in 60 climbe from Llanwrtyd Wells to the tunnel at the summit. Unfortunately at Sugar Loaf as the train approaches the scene some mindless asshole decides to get into the spot right at the last second as the two are approaching 100 yards, I was about to pan my camera on the engines this meant that I had to miss the sun glinting on the engines as they passed. However at the banks of the River Towy outside Llandovery I was blessed to get a cameo sequence of the pair crossing the bridge just as the sun was setting in the hills nearby. A fine scene to make up for a partially lost shot.

The next day on Friday 13th the two Black 5's work the tour from Carmarthen to London Victoria via Cardiff, Swindon and Reading.

Starting off on a high hill at Ferryside I was to be blessed with more luck. As the pair approach the station the sun came out at the right time which gave out the perfect lighting for the panoramic sequance as well as the thick white exaust from 45407. It is worth noting that this is the first time a steam charter has run through Ferryside in the morning for 18 years (since 1993!) A personal highlight for me.

The last two scenes capture the two Black 5's at Pyle and ultimately the long panoramic finale along the GWML at Westerleigh.

Once again alot of determination and ambition was made into the making of this fine film all ratings and comments will be well appriciated.

I give my personal thanks to David Oldham for giving me the details of some of the locations.
