    Sutton park, is a reasonable climb, in the direction of, Walsall. There's also a 45mph line speed. The best shots are off the first bridge and Streetly crossing. Will message you the links to my videos, from that section of line.

    A simple record shot of the Earl between Chester and Beeston on the return:

    Sadly not a patch on the other three shots above - well done gentlemen.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Did the train actually take the road or did it stop?

    Must have been spotted and corrected given there's shots above on the Crewe - Chester line on the outward leg.

    Are Castle in gauge for Shrewsbury - Chester ? been a while since one's been that way.

    Stopped abruptly just after the signal, which was green. We then backed up towards the station and waited for the off. There was two other services waiting to come into the station at the time.
