60103 Flying Scotsman powers through Oxfordshire TWICE with The Cathedrals Express

I decided to film Flying Scotsman in two locations which is about a few 100 yards from each other. The 9th of June when she headed The Chilterns Hills Luncheon Circular Tour and 13th of June heading The Cathedrals Express to Chester to have my last chance to see Flying Scotsman for a while. I filmed near Culham at Thame Lane at the foot crossing and bridge near The Culham Science Centre. On the 9th of June, I filmed at the foot crossing which was a public crossing and yes I was in a safe place as seen in the footage. I was incredibly lucky, as a freight train past through towards Oxford a few mins before the engine came and a minute later a voyager headed Oxford Bound so pretty much got away with it. The weather was pretty good and the engine sounded magnificent as she should be. On the 13th of June, I went to the bridge overlooking a bit of Culham Station as she leaves Didcot heading for her water stop at Oxford. A late running voyager and HST meant the engine passed through 10 mins late but she sounded lovely as she whistled towards the crossing I filmed from 4 days ago heading towards her destination of Chester. Thanks very much for watching the video. Feel free to like, comment and subscribe for more steam action from Full Steam Ahead.
