Glasgow City Union Line Revisited

Footage from last November's Lowland Growler railtour.
Having traversed the new Airdrie - Bathgate line, we waited at Bellgrove for another railtour (hauled by Deltic 22) to clear the junction onto the City Union line, before proceeding onto it ourselves.

The City of Glasgow Union Railway, also known as the City Union Line or Tron Line, would have been a major part of the Glasgow Crossrail project.
I've previously done a couple of videos of the line, taken from an SRPS railtour a few years ago. But, with Crossrail canned, the occasional railtour is the only chance most of us will get to "do" the line, so I thought another video wouldn't hurt.

This, by the way, is the 8th time I tried to upload this video. All 7 previous attempts failed for no apparent reason. Previously I had submitted mpeg2 files, subscribing to the theory that a better quality video file will come out better. But, youtube's video uploader just can't handle large mpeg2 files.
So, I've started encoding them in .mov format using the H.264 codec. It's close enough on quality, and infinitely faster to upload.
