Around the railway in 30 seconds!

We needed to turn Chiltern Shuttle's tender round the other day; although easiest to just turn it on the turntable we had a look and thought "you could film an interesting video if you put a camera in the footwell"...

So here is a track level view of a trip around most of the railway. We have sped it up to just 30 seconds, but don't worry, our trains will still take around 6 minutes to go around when you visit!
