30777 videos

The plan with this video was to catch 30777 Sir Lamiel's Cathedrals Express to Salisbury somewhere in West London and follow it to just beyond Woking and then double back for 35028 Clan Line's VSOE Xmas Luncheon Special. With that in mind we set up at Barnes, me next to the level crossing on the line to Richmond and my brother in the nearby park.

The North British-built loco makes its way up Tisbury 15 mins late of schedule. After arriving at Yeovil Junction the loco uncouples its stock and shunts its support coach into the sidings so that it can be turned and serviced for its return trip.

30777 Sir Lamiel hauled a Cathedrals Express Carol Special train to Sherborne on December 18th.
