60007 Sir Nigel Gresley takes on the third English Riviera Express - 2023

This film could have been alot worse. A short trip to the English Riviera, for the third ‘English Riviera Express’ hauled by 60007 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’. The first shot was in the Teign estuary on a jetty, which was ok? Filming on a jetty can give you an excellent shot, however, they move about and are used by other people, which isn't ideal as I found out, so if the pictures are not straight and people are shouting, I guess it's unfortunate. After this, I missed the arrival into Kingswear having been held up by everything including tractors, caravans, coaches, tourists and a crash. Fortunately I was able to see the turnaround at the turntable in Churston, and unlike in my other film ‘Too Much Pressure’, Gresleys’ safety valves didn't blow off upon leaving Kingswear.

The Title for this film is from when the service passed through Cockwood. There must have been some event on, as the harbour was full of vintage & classic cars, as well as steam tractors & rollers. As Gresley passed through, whistles opened up, and it felt like that scene out of the Titfield Thunderbolt. The normal green timetable was running, with 6 return trains, hauled by Dartmouth River Rail resident, No. 4555. As previously mentioned, shots were taken at:

00:00 Sir Nigel Gresley alongside the Teign Estuary
01:26 It is!
03:00 Gresley arrives into Churston for a service
06:07 No. 4555 passes a mid-service Gresley at Churston

10:42 Gresley leaves Kingswear for Taunton
15:53 Steam Tractor at Cockwood

There was no shortage of whistles in this film.
