I like Don Coffey's vids, you get useful info along the way which in many you don't.

I've actually just watched this one.

I like these. Feels quite therapeutic sitting quietly and unwinding while watching the countryside from the cab of a train.

Also recently enjoyed these...

As a child I used to love sitting behind the driver in first generation DMUs. Being able to see into the cab and see the driver controlling the train and having a view of the track was a source of wonderment.

Unless you had a particularly grumpy one who pulled the blind down.

They are very therapeutic, quite happily watch one of several hours.

I always used to curse when they did that, miserable buggers.

I spent the night once in Blea Moor signal box in 1975. Watching the sun come up over Whernside at 3am was awesome.

All the YouTube revenue goes to charity too. Think he’s raised over £30k so far.
