Really enjoyed the panoramic view on such a sunny Spring day. The blue pullman was pretty awesome - looked like a scale model when viewed from above.

It does look a bit "toy train" like from the air, doesn't it. Rather an expensive toy to ride in though!

@@schoolshorts Makes we want to open up my boxes of scale models that I’ve collected for decades but are waiting for retirement. My first steam engine that I ever got and still have is a cast metal, hand painted Wrenn model of City of Stoke on Trent.

Good aerial filming again Tim and good to see her storm through Appleby. 17hr day, you must be keen!👍

Was rather hoping she'd stop for water in Appleby - the drone can't keep up with a 60mph train! Keen? Insane, more like.

You’re a braver man than I going into any pub in Carlisle on a Saturday night… done it once, never again! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks britboy. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for these ultra-long days but I'll keep going as long as I can.

Lovely to see one of your vlogs when it is NOT raining! … You have captured the day very well, withy the bird sounds just adding to the ambience… 😀

Even in these northern parts, the sun does shine from time to time! How else would we have palm trees growing along the shores of the Solway Firth? The birds were obviously in a cheerful mood that day too. Let's hope summer is on the way, at long last.

Great footage of the trains and my nephew appears at 13:13 waiting for Tangmere. 👍🏻

He was in a good position to view it - and the station wasn't as desperately crowded as it can sometimes be.

A long day for you to get the Blue Pullman HST returning. It was good you got to Appleby for Tangmere, looks like they repaired the stuck cylinder cock. I had a good day out but it was pretty cold all day and a little rain later on.

Nice video. Lovely to see the Midland Pullman in all its glory. One day in the future, maybe all trains in the UK will once again be in this splendidly understated livery. I wouldn't say no to the interiors of the Midland Pullman being a model for long distance train travel either! I can't be doing with nearly four hours of claustrophobic airline-style seating in the Avanti Pendolinos to London. Next year there will be a Grand Union service to London from Stirling and Carlisle, which might be an improvement, who knows? It should give you something else interesting to film, at any rate.😀

The Pendolinos are OK if you can get a table seat with a window. On my last trip to London they gave me a seat up against a bare metal wall - I 'd have been better off flying. From a passenger point of view the IC125s were as good as they came. Living in Berkshire in the 1970s I used them a lot - lovely trains and they've given great service.
