Thanks! Get yourself a sarnie & a coffee in Carlisle. Keep warm & have a great time. Or you could always nip to the Shanghai Shanghai buffet on Botchergate (turn right outside the station). Fed me well on a couple of railtour breaks.

Can’t thank you enough for this Tim, it’s very much appreciated. My content is free to all so I’m always very grateful when someone feels it’s worth donating towards 👍🏻 thanks for the tip on the buffet, that sounds exactly like what I’ll need for a break! This will be put towards it. Cheers mate.

What a promising mix to come Luke and no surprise you are nearly at 5k already. Great to see the 59!

I would love to see shunter shunting old parcel vans at Diggle again, I wished they would reopen Clegg street railway shed in Oldham and shunt parcel vans , I didn’t see much of that when I was a kid , I really missed a lot.

Hi Luke, I love watching your channel. I have been a subscriber for about a year or so. I live down in the West Midlands close to Bescot and Tame Bridge Parkway. Looking forward to watching your next 24 hour video and the sunrise to sunset. Hope to meet and chat with you one day. Cheers and Regards Colin👍👍

Thanks a lot Phil, there’s been a lot of chopping going on down the other side. I think they’re trying to make the entry road to the yard a bit more suitable for bringing in heavy machinery. Hopefully they at least trim some of the trees in the way of the cam! Haha.
