Cleethorpes Clipper part 10: Cab view from Hitchin to Camden Road via Welwyn, filmed from our preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 1 July 2017, during the return leg of our Cleethorpes Clipper railtour.
.
This video comprises 31 miles up the busy East Coast Main Line, and through the Welwyn bottleneck at 75mph, before turning onto the Slow Line at Finsbury Park and over the Holloway flyover to turn right at Copenhagen Junction; this leads us to ascend the North London Incline to reach the North London Line and Camden Road.
.
Video and audio footage are from an unattended unmonitored forward-facing cab-camera in motor coach 60118 Tunbridge Wells.
