Named after the corner of the street where I live!
I'm very keen on classic transport, the beauty of nature and the countryside and the seashore.

UNUSUAL TRAINS ON THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY INCLUDING THE BLUE PULLMAN 2 JULY 2024
A film company has taken over a half of the railway so normal services are very restricted, running today only from Bishops Lydeard to Watchet. Here are some scenes at Williton and Doniford. As it is no longer possible to run round a train at Watchet, a steam loco is provided at each end of the train. The Blue Pullman is just here to take part in the film.

It was standing room only on the first train today. I could only film from whatever open window was not already occupied by other photographers. There was a strong breeze coming in from the sea so some segments with interesting content unfortunately had to be deleted owing to the excessive wind noise spoiling the video!

Recent West Somerset Railway activity at several locations. Sorry for the early posting of the Williton name at Watchet. Adding more video in my editing program can have that effect!

A good range of locos perform locally on the West Somerset Railway in fine weather, well supported with a lot of passengers. I am glad to see Watchet's two new webcams are now visible with all the WSR others, on wsr.org.uk

This is not a race but a 55 mile test of endurance from Watchet on the north coast of West Somerset to West Bay on the south coast of Dorset.. There is also a much shorter version starting elsewhere. Luckily the weather has been kind locally for the start at least!

Now that the Steam Gala is over, its interesting to be out there in the countryside with the birds singing and then the passage of a familiar steam train heading to Minehead.
That HST looks fantastic in Blue and White. So clean as well ..thanks Admiral and Val.
Very interesting video Mike. The Blue Pullman looked amazing
Hi Mike & Val. I was out and about at Dunster yesterday, and a Train fronted by Earlstoke Manor and a Diesel at the other end were going backwards and forwards between Blue Anchor and Dunster for Hours! I managed to get some Video concentrating on the Carriages and what was going on inside, but didn't really see much apart from Picnic Baskets on the Tables and some very bored looking people looking out of the Windows! You could see Camera equipment at various points, but really nothing so interesting as to warrant a UA-cam Video!, so I think I'll wait until the Agatha Christie production comes out on Netflix!... Still plenty of action going on here at Minehead by the Sound of it, (Tuesday 2nd July) I can hear Steam Whistles every now and again sat in my Garden in Old Alcombe.
Good to see the blue Pullman but as always steam is better, thanks Mike.
Nice one Mike I think there is a HST up here on the watercress line 12th July 😊
Loved the video mike kind regards as usual to you both❤
Great Video Mike you are so lucky living in such a lovely part of Somerset. I have now arrived home missing my time there already.
From the webcams it looked as if the trains were traveling beyond Watchet. Might they have been terminating at Washford?
pullman was a long one.we will be on that line sunday again.
Nice Video 👍
Nice catch that one mike is a real shame the original pullman power cars were scrapped would have been a great sight to on mainline or heritage lines , Just a Heads up this is happening on Monday the 8th of July , If you or anybody else is interested You can of course catch it on the rail cams .Class 52 D1010 ‘WESTERN CAMPAIGNER’ - the date of Monday 8th July has been set for the body of this loco to be lifted from her bogies and slewed over to the adjacent track, where the ex-BR Swindon stands will be (by then) positioned and levelled, ready to carry the 50-tonne load. The lift will be performed by two 120-tonne road cranes that will be supplied by BALDWINS CRANE HIRE working in tandem. The lifting will start by removing the two Bristol Siddeley Maybach MD-655 engines, each of which weighs close to 6 tonnes each, to reduce the weight of the loco body and minimise the stresses on the 62-year-old loco body structure. The transmissions and cooler groups were removed for overhaul last year, so the interior of the loco will be easy to access and will be ready for a thorough clean-up and re-paint once the body is safely lowered onto the stands.
Nice to see Mr. HST at the end. You got to see two steamies, what more could you have asked for? My 42nd birthday is only a few days away. It falls on Sat. 6th July, and I'm celebrating it on the Cambrian Heritage Railway in Oswestry.
Message to Val..what's this fascination with Mc Donald's.. I thought Old Mc Donald had a farm..😂😂 sorry Val couldn't resist it. ❤

from Val - Thank you Diana and Mike and I so appreciate your comments on his many videos. and Thank you I did enjoy the day, which was quite spontaneous. I have never been the organising kind of person - spontanity is my middle name!!
@@ADMIRALSCORNER thanks for the reply Val, to do things on the spur of the moment can be very satisfying- when plans go wrong they can upset the entire day. I think you have got the right mindset- don’t make big plans that can fail and disappoint. Sending best wishes!
Happy birthday Val . Same day as my wife Julie.. she's 21 plus many many more. Coming down to Blue Anchor in a weeks time I'll be looking out for you and the Admiral. Hopefully see you soon . Dave Julie from Coventry.. Wimbledon permitting eh Val. Best wishes to both ❤❤
from Val - Belated happy birthday to Julie. Ah you may be lucky to see me Dave, but with Wimbledon on, who knows!! Are you camping or B and B/ing in Blue Anchor? We will do our best to see you.
Beautiful Video Mike, thanks 👍😀

Val is a great fan of the TV quiz program The Chase and wanted a book about it and now out of print, which I did manage to get for her.
@@ADMIRALSCORNERHi 😁... so Val is a Chase fan ... I assume it's the same tv quiz show that we have by the same name.... I never knew there was a book about it .. I'll swap your glorious warm weather anytime ... it's very cold and wet here ...🙃😖
Happy Birthday Val!
