England 2016 - Teil 2 von 7: Städte im Südosten
Ein Land will aus der EU raus, das schauten wir uns an ... unser heuriger Sommerurlaub führte uns somit nach England, genauer gesagt in den südlichsten Teil davon. Von drei Quartieren aus steuerten wir zwei Wochen lang interessante Punkte von Dover (Grafschaft Kent im Südosten) bis Land’s End (Grafschaft Cornwall im Südwesten) an. Wir legten dabei über 6500 km zurück.
Dieses Video ist der zweite von sieben Teilen über diesen Urlaub, es geht um drei Städte im Südosten, und zwar Dover (Kreidefelsen), Canterbury (Bootstour) und die Hauptstadt London (Wembley Stadion, Stadtbummel).

Evening Diesels - 1001 and 67030 head through Surrey and Hampshire - 30/09/17
The 30th of September would see two rail tours head through the counties of Surrey and Hampshire, venturing towards two quite different destinations.
The first would see the popular Class 201 'Hastings' Thumper No. 1001 head the 'Alpine Sunset' tour, heading to the Mid Hants Railway. Starting at Hastings, the tour would run via Tonbridge, Redhill and Guildford before diverging off towards Alton and Alresford. During the day the DEMU would head two return trips over 'The Alps' before heading back to base at Hastings, running via Reading before returning via the Surrey Hills.
Here the 'Thumper' is seen chattering through Chilworth in the evening light, having set down passengers at Guildford.
The second tour would see 67030 head Pathfinder Tours' 'Torbay and Dartmouth Explorer' to Kingswear. The tour would start at Reading, before running through Hampshire and Wiltshire to get to the West Country. The return leg would terminate at Eastleigh, running via Reading and Guildford in the process.
Here, the 'Skip' passes through Rowlands Castle, where the weather has taken a turn for the worse. Good thing there was cover!

Mid Norfolk - 101 DMU Bash - 21st July 2015
The first day of my holiday to Norfolk with the missus and we had to nip to the supermarket, the nearest one happened to be adjacent to the Mid Norfolk Railway so it would have been rude not to...
This is exactly what the title says, a DMU bash - on 101695 to be precise. After some shots of stuff at the station, (a three car Blue & Grey 101), 50019, 20069 & 45133 we depart on our trip out to Wymondham and back.
There isn't much footage on the way out as some kids got on at the next station and started making a racket and climbing over things while their mother and granmother were too busy talking about the south of france (sigh, bloody posh types).
The return is where we take a quick trip down nostalgia avenue with plenty of shots of what is pretty much still a Regional Railways interior. The first class was reinstated in preservation and is more Network SouthEast but the rest of the unit definitely takes me back down memory lane and why not, 101695 was at one point a Manchester unit having been based at Longsite until the end of 101 operations in 2002/03.
It's something a little different and in a way the best I could get as in all fairness this was supposed to be a shopping trip with the missus...
Llanberis Lake Railway 2
One of two clips taken on Tuesday 22nd September 2009 showing the Llanberis 2ft narrow gauge lake railway. Starting at Gilfach Ddu, the journey takes you past the 13th century Dolbadarn Castle, crossing possibly Britain's shortest river and passing Llanberis' twin lakes as the train negotiates the extension (opened in 2003) to Llanberis village. From here the train runs non-stop through the Padarn Country Park, joining the 1845 slate railway route to run along the shores of Lake Padarn to Penllyn, and giving stunning views of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales. On its return, the train makes a short stop at Cei Llydan, an ideal place for a lakeside picnic, before arriving back at Gilfach Ddu. The five mile return trip takes around 60 minutes, and all advertised trains are scheduled to be hauled by one of the vintage steam engines rescued from the nearby Dinorwic slate quarries.

Bluebell Railway - Open Weekend Meeting (May 2011)
[Apologies for lateness to finish the video of the meeting, as I got things to do in college previously]
From 21st May 2011:
While waiting outside East Grinstead station, I came up to modelrailwayguy9 (Now known as ScruffyEngine) and his dad, who are going on the same bus to Kingscote. And so the day out of the meeting is on!
Once we got there, we went to board to coaches as the train was ready to depart the station. Meanwhile as we're on the train to Sheffield Park, thethomaswooden1 came up and we all had a brief but good conversation. And it was lastly until we got off at Sheffield, when thethomaswooden1 heading back with his parents. After that, modelrailwayguy9 and myself went to the footbridge to be on a look out for gmanlore and his family. Later eventually, after all the confusion with mobile phones, we all met at last.
That afternoon, we all had a good picnic outside the good station. And in the end, gmanlore and his mother went back to their car for a journey home, while we headed back to the station to get back to Kingscote. As we got off at Horstead Keynes station, we had a great look round at the coach workshops, coach shop and other things there.
After that, it was nearly 4:45 PM as we got back to Kingscote, and eventually caught out bus back to East Grinstead where we'd met. Finally as we got back there safely, we bid our farewells and went back to our homes safely.
