A driver's eye view of the full train journey on the West Coast Main Line from Glasgow to Manchester via Preston on a Class 350 EMU to Carlisle and a new Class 397 EMU for the rest of the journey. The weather was awful throughout the conditions going down Shap were truly atrocious.

Although the speeds in this video have been checked for accuracy, they are for guidance only and drivers should always use official documentation to ensure they are aware of all line speeds.

Thanks for watching.

Update: Many thanks to my mate Lewis Evans who has done the times and locations for me!
