Hi Chris, something strange here. That link takes us to the video uploads section on my YouTube channel which is supposed to be private!! Please delete/replace ASAP please.

Cheers

It doesn't take "us", it takes YOU! That link takes me to MY upload site. The link doesn't work as intended but there is no security issue.

 

Does any know if 60316 is doing the loaded test run today from Carnforth? I have check realtime trains and there doesn't seem to be any movement so far.

 

The path has been activated for today according to RTT...

Thanks, just looked on there and there was a pass at Carnforth North junction at 11.49, 23 late. I think I will head out and enjoy the sun whilst waiting around Clitheroe/Langho area.

 

At Carnforth 11.30am today.

 

the first clip has been posted today show Mayflower with 9 coaches +box. Going very well apparently.

 

I was on the opposite side of the arches from Ralph, couple of stills here, second one from Pleasington.

Ralph,

I don't know if its my computer/interweb connection or your video, but the first part was like watching through pea soup..........................................................................................

Still, when it became clear, just before the viaduct, I enjoyed that ( well I would wouldn't I, liking everything LNER!) she looked and sounded good - Belle 1's shot from the other side was very picturesque, so a thumbs up from me (well I'd put one up if we had the smilies.......................................................................................................................................................)

 

Footage of 61306 Mayflowers Loaded test run at Low Bentham, Langho, Hoghton and finally Bay Horse on the 2nd of May 2013 .

 

Maybe its my interweb/WiFi connection. and I was watching on full screen................................................. no idea.................................................................... still, you lucky lot Oop North with all this steam knocking about.................................................... whilst us paupers darn sarf have to put up with the Reading block..................................................... and travel further afield, or not....................................I shall continue to enjoy your collective efforts - keep up the good work lads!!!

 

Firstly, my sincere apologies for yesterday's problems with the Light Test Run to Carnforth. I have no idea why the video link behaved like that - it always worked with the old forum software - perhaps it is something that can be looked into by the powers that be.
Secondly thanks to Ralph for saving more people having problems.
Now for today's Loaded Test Run. I've tried to embed this one with views at Clapham and Ramsgreave & Wilpshire:

Hopefully that will work.
Chris

I think that it was just a glitch in the system somewhere along the line Chris and I think the link took people to their own account if already logged in to Youtube, all it did when I clicked it was take me to a youtube sign up page as Enterprise mentions at post 222 above. The new forum software also seems to embed youtube clips automatically as well from a standard browser address link.

Austin, I thought that was you at Pleasington on the opposite platfrom, I thought I had got away without being filmed at Whalley in those dodgy shorts and then get caught in your footage at Pleasington!

A bit of a disaster on the video front for me today, there was someone with a chainsaw not far from me at Whalley and I checked the footage breifly when I got back to the car and left the camera on play and at Pleasington it was touch and go whether the battery would last and it decided to die when the loco was about 150 yards away which is when I snatched up the still camera in your vid.

Anyway a nice afternoon out in the sun and nice to see the B1 working well today.

 

And a well turned out support coach...........
