Thanks Noel, glad you liked it.

What a great job has been done to get that branch line living again, and I wish the folk all the best for the future. Not sure about the way that chap was coupling the wagons, but if it works for him, and is within their safety regulations, then good luck to him. A very enjoyable video. Thanks.

So pleased to see this wonderful project a success . All the best for the future.

A perfect summers day out!

What a smashing day out! Thanks for sharing it out. Lots of interest throughout and lovely weather. The stations scenes remind me of parcels, pigeons, porters and platforms when I was a nipper.

Brilliant 60's recreation (not that I'd know being born in 68)

I agree. The Great Central is like stepping back in time for me as I was born in 1952.

Can’t believe double track and a branch. It seems no time at all since GCR was industrials Littleton no 5 and Robert Nelson no 4 hauling trains.

Great video, thank you

Thanks for the comment. When I was younger I rode on this type of DMU quite often so this brought back memories.

Very nice! I wonder why they run them from Quorn rather than Rothley? I've subscribed :)

Thanks for the comment. I don't know why they chose Quorn. Another change was the train I traveled back on then went on to Loughborough which was not shown in the timetable.

@@alexhando8541 it might also be because the junction to the branch can only be accessed from the southbound line, as trains from rothley would have to run the wrong way along the double track.

@@Gaizhun Thanks for elaborating, that's kind of what I was going for, but I think your explanation is a bit better 👍

what class DMU is that? 101? or 105?

It's a class 101 built by Metro Cammell in 1957.

With all the fears of global warming and the pollutants from exhausts are steam and diesel railways a problem, should people be going on needless journeys when it is a potential cause of such detrimental effects, well1 they preserve historical machines and buildings, 2 they help educate the young, 3 they help the memories of the old, 4 they aid the tourist industry. So let's hope they can continue in a cleaner way, in the future .
