Reading to London Waterloo Drivers eye view

« on: September 02, 2013, 18:12:21 »

Just a heads up that video 125 are due to release the recently filmed drivers eye view of the Reading to London Waterloo service operated by SWT^▸ .

The release date is expected to be mid september and a preview has been posted on video 125's youtube channel.

After I have paid my credit card off tommorow I am planning on pre-ordering a copy. Hopefully soon we will be able to see the Oxford - Hereford Drivers Eye view if everything goes to plan with FGW^▸

I do like the Driver's Eye View (DEV) series from Video 125.

Thanks to a relative I got a job lot of DEV DVDs from a charity shop some time ago. He bought them on spec, knowing I'd bite his hand off to acquire them. 12 DVDs for 24 quid and a pint. Bargain.

Very interested in the DEV from Reading to Waterloo as it is a line I've travelled many times. Be nice to see it from the 'sharp end' of a Juniper. May well be my first full price purchase of a Video 125 release....

Way out of area, but if anyone is interested, there is a Class 156 cab ride video of Glasgow-Fort William-Mallaig on youtube:

It appears to be an ARD1 German TV^▸ production (did ARD1 really broadcast this in full?). If you have a spare 271 minutes, it's well worth a watch. Undecided

If you like this sort of thing, obviously. Grin

I like the informative commentary on the Video 125 DEVs as well. One of the best of 'this sort of thing', as BNM puts it Grin

. Now I have Blu-ray I can even see the individual bits of ballast flying up - well, almost. It's much easier to see the signal aspects now, anyway.

(I have no shares or other financial interest in Video 125)
