You’ve set the standard for these kinds of videos. I may live 5 time zones away but the clarity of the image and sound with accompanying commentary puts me right in the moment. And I don’t even have to shell out the £100 for the ride!

Thanks Jeff. I’m fussy about such things and it’s taken a lot of experimenting to get here. The bottom line is that most cameras and memory cards won’t handle the motion after about 70 of 80 mph so everything has to be top notch to get a standard I’m happy with so it’s nice to get feedback of this kind.

This is great video. I am a fan of high speed passenger rail, being in the middle of the United States I have to be satisfied by watching it elsewhere. I have been to the UK several times but I have never traveled on this route. Your commentary is especially informative for us foreigners. I'm looking forward to visiting the UK again, someday. Take care and stay safe.

Hi, Don. I watch your videos in Canada and I'm always amazed at European trains. They are so quiet and efficient, and so incredibly fast! I think if I have enough money, someday, I'd like to come to England and buy a private coach and attach it any train that would take me, and I would just travel from place to place, meeting people in different communities, and generally having a great time! Well, dream on I guess!

From the other side of the pond - This is amazing and informative. I love the captions: Where you are, how many miles out, speeds and most informative the explanation of the signal and whistle rules. And a history lesson also. Thank you!!

Very much enjoyed the video. I was surprised you didn't mention the track remodelling at Derby following major work at the station in 2018. This eliminated the bottleneck to the south of the station where there was conflict between the London lines and the Birmingham lines. Both routes had to merge before reaching / after leaving the platforms, but now they are separated to avoid this. The video shows this new approach very clearly. New track, further track realignment and new signalling also improved approach and through line speeds.
