Cleethorpes Clipper part 3: Cab view from Finsbury Park to Stevenage via the Hertford Loop. Filmed from the Hastings DEMU on Saturday 1 July 2017, during our Cleethorpes Clipper railtour.
.
Video footage is from an unattended unmonitored cab-camera in motor coach 60116 Mountfield.
.
This video starts and ends on the East Coast Main Line, but between Alexandra Palace and Stevenage we are routed via the Hertford Loop. That section of line forms a useful diversionary route for slower trains or in time of disruption on the East Coast Main Line; it did not open to passengers until 1924.
