Railfest 2012 - 02/06/12

A little late but nevertheless here is my footage from the first day of the week long Railfest 2012 held at the National Railway Museum in York. With over 60 exhibits it was due to be one of the biggest rail events of 2012. I went on the 2nd, the opening day, would've preferred to go during the week but this was the only day both myself and my dad could go together. As would've been expected on the 1st day it was jam packed with people which meant there wasn't much room to use my tripod so I ended up not using it. We got there over an hour later than we'd hoped as the first train to London Paddington was cancelled due to signalling problems west of Swindon and whilst on the East Coast Mainline the driver overshot the platform at Newark.
