Join us for this Driver's Eye View trip from Derby to Preston Via Burton-on-Trent, Alrewas, Stafford, Crewe Basford Hall, Newton-le-Willows and Wigan North Western. This is the first of my new series of videos recording trips across the North on test trains which Network Rail use to judge the condition of their infrastructure. Filmed on 43274, with test coaches and 43257 trailing on 1Q47 PLPR1 infrastructure monitoring service on 24/10/2023.

So happy you're back, missed the amazing cab rides and content.

The Ribble Viaduct is a disgrace, it is a grade 2 listed building but the intention seems to be to allow it to rust into the river. Such neglect should not be allowed.

Happy to see another trip from you - I'd never seen the Liverpool independent line, so something new and great! Even more of a thrill was the Claymills crossing at 13 minutes in - the Victorian building on the left is the Claymills Pumping Station that I'm part of the team restoring and running - and the car behind the motorbike at the crossing gate is mine!

I like these British train videos, because the rain is always different

Great video and what made it even better for some strange reason, not one advert.

This is an amazing video, so precise and clear and I so love the scenery around the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border as it was well known to me in my rambling days in the early seventies with the CHA in Coventry. Another trip to savour and take in on wet rainy, windy and snowy afternoons in Atlantic Canada. Thank you for making my day Ben and keep up the hard earned good work you make in your productions for us avid railway buffs to enjoy.
