Steam to Wensleydale, 48151 & 35018 British India Line on The Wensleydale Railway 6th April 2019

Here's some footage of 48151 & 35018 British India Line on The Wensleydale Railway 6th April 2019. This video sees the train run double headed and top n tailed through Yorkshire at locations such as, Church Fenton x2, York, Aiskew Level Crossing (just outside Leeming Bar on the Wensleydale Railway) Thirsk & Burton Salmon, near Sherburn-in-Elmet. Unfortunately we were meant to film the tour at Newton Le Willows but due to the delays the tour did not make it to Leyburn and stayed at Bedale. This tour was meant to be hauled by Jubilees 45690 Leander & 45699 Galatea but due to both Jubilees being unavailable they were replaced by 48151 & 35018 British India Line.

The Wensleydale Railway is a heritage railway in Wensleydale and Lower Swaledale in North Yorkshire, England. The line runs 22 miles (35 km) between Northallerton West station, about a fifteen-minute walk from Northallerton on the East Coast Main Line and Redmire.

Occasional freight services and excursions travel the full length of the line, and regular passenger services operate between Northallerton West and Redmire, a distance of 22 miles (35 km), comparable in length to the West Somerset Railway. The line formerly ran from Northallerton to Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, but the track between Redmire and Garsdale has been lifted and several bridges and viaducts demolished.

The Wensleydale Railway Association (WRA) was formed in 1990 with the main aim of restoring passenger services. When British Rail decided to try to sell the line between Northallerton and Redmire following cessation of the quarry trains to Redmire, the WRA decided to take a more proactive role and aimed to operate passenger services itself. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) had an interest in using the line between Northallerton and Redmire to transport armoured vehicles to/from Catterick Garrison. The MoD paid for repairs and restoration of the line and the installation of loading facilities at Redmire, and did not object to WRC taking over the line. A trial train ran in November 1993 and full MoD operations started in July 1996.[26] These military transport trains continue to this day.

In 2000 WRA formed a separate operating company, the Wensleydale Railway plc (WRC), and issued a share offer to raise funds. £1.2 million was raised through this method. Railtrack agreed to lease the line between Northallerton and Redmire to WRC and a 99-year lease was signed in 2003. Passenger services restarted on 4 July 2003 with the stations at Leeming Bar and Leyburn being reopened. In 2004, the stations at Bedale, Finghall and Redmire were reopened and in 2014, a station was built at Northallerton West.

The company's longer-term aim is to reopen the 18 miles (29 km) of line west from Redmire via Castle Bolton, Aysgarth, Askrigg, Bainbridge, Hawes and Mossdale to join up with the Settle-Carlisle Railway Route at Garsdale.

The British Rail (BR) Class 20, otherwise known as an English Electric Type 1, is a class of diesel-electric locomotive. In total, 228 locomotives in the class were built by English Electric between 1957 and 1968, the large number being in part because of the failure of other early designs in the same power range to provide reliable locomotives.

The locomotives were originally numbered D8000-D8199 and D8300-D8327. They are known by enthusiasts as Choppers, a name derived from the distinctive beat that the engine produces under load which resembles the sound of a helicopter.

Designed around relatively basic technology, the 73-tonne locomotives produce 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) and can operate at up to 75 mph (121 km/h). Unusually for British designs, the locomotive had a single cab. This caused serious problems with visibility when travelling nose first, though in these circumstances the driver's view is comparable to that on the steam locomotives that the Class 20s replaced.

The Class 20 saw only limited service on passenger trains, their use was limited to summer relief services, particularly to Skegness often under the adopted title of The Jolly Fisherman starting from various places including Burton-on-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent, Derby and Leicester. Also occasionally other holiday resorts on the east coast of England, occasional duties as a pilot, and short distance diversions of electric-hauled trains over non-electrified lines.

Leyburn is a market town and civil parish in the district of Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England sitting above the northern bank of the River Ure in Wensleydale. Historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire, the name was derived from 'Ley' or 'Le' (clearing), and 'burn' (stream), meaning clearing by the stream. The town boasts two markets, several pubs, two banks with cash machines, and many small speciality stores. Market day is Friday. It is served by local buses that connect to Richmond, Hawes, Bedale and Northallerton. The local Rotary Club sponsors the annual Wensleydale Wander in March or April, organised walks of 12 miles (19 km) and 22 miles (35 km).

British Rail Purfleet March 1986

Another vid from my early filming days now, Purfleet Station filmed on 19 march 1986. Here we see a mix of passenger & freight traffic with classes 08, 47, 56, 59 & 302s. The class 59's hadn't long been introduced (reason for my trip out) and you can see the GM techie guys in the rear cab of the loco. Note that when delivered the original four were all un-named. There was still a lot of oil traffic around then and Purfleet even had a Gronk out-stationed from Stratford to shunt rakes of wagons as seen here. The passenger service was in the hands of the long serving class 302 EMUs. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Scarborough Flyer - The Film (suggest 1080 or 720 quality)

The first use of a new video camera on a day out. We caught the Railway Touring Company's Scarborough Flyer pulled by the steam engine 6201 Princess Elizabeth. This is an LMS 'Pacific' 4-6-2 locomotive built at Crewe (where this tour stated) in 1933. It is privately owned by the Princess Elizabeth Preservation Society. We caught the train at Wilmslow in Cheshire and it travelled up and through The Pennines, across Yorkshire, through York, and on to the seaside resort of Scarborough. The video shows it working hard up the Pennine hills then speeding along the level tracks of Yorkshire.

Wensleydale Railway - The Going Places Special

The Wensleydale Railway has ambitious expansion plans and it is hoped that a station can be built near the ECML at Northallerton before July 2013 in time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the stewardship of the WRA and the associated start of scheduled passenger operations. A special train service was operated from Leeming Bar using J72 tank engine number 69023 on Saturday the 1st of September to raise both funds and awareness of our Going Places appeal. Produced by the Wensleydale Railway Media Unit.
