They should have sirens

This film looks around 2004, interesting to see them talking about ERTMS

I have always been fascinated with the ‘post train’ as I call it, I think it is very unique, the fact it sounds and is basically a 319 and has a networker cab and front. I get to see it almost daily and it’s always a nice sight, the big crimson machine.

I'd have done the exam on the wrong unit anyway. Better to do it too often than not often enough. Especially if they have "nothing to do". I would still have done the frantic phone calls to get the right one.

Pity you chose to sit at signals for ages initially and then cut out East Croydon completely. Very disappointing!

Why is there an Irish man yelling "paedophile" into a loud hailer at 4:58 ?

Doing that sort of thing in the dark on a rainy night in the middle of nowhere with (hopefully isolated) conductor rails nearby. No thanks. An old EPB driver told me that some drivers would partly pull out a fuse in the cab cupboard and use the arc to light their cigarette!

Such sarcasm in this video, I like it

Network rail will do anything to prevent a spas except actually upgrading the signals

ATP is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.

This was filmed in part on the line between Morton in the marsh and Evesham in 1992.

10:01 12:56

thats one big board god damn

6:28 that queue is very close for comfort!

Omg state of the tracks 4:40

I once chased aspects in the Roblox game British Railway, as you’d expect, it didn’t end well.

I need to get a CRT tv and watch this on it lol

the DRA reminder sign at Micheldever is tiny

What's the song playing in the background

l once did a brake test on a 4 car VEP coupled on to an 8 Car VEP !! I was in the front cab of the rear unit . Buzzed up the Driver for an EPB test , he does it I see the EPB gauges move . EPB test done . l buzz him to do the auto brake test . He says Go head . I did it and he said "No nothing happened here .Do it again !" i do same thing again " Nothing this end. No indication on the Auto !". The shunter hadn't opened the cocks between the two units when coupling the two units pipes together ! Had the Driver gone out on Auto Brake the back unit would have been a swinger !!! UNBRAKED !! So glad l insisted on a brake test that day and always did from that day onwards !! Alot of Drivers tried to rush you on empties " oh we don't need a Brake test !" Especially late a night ! I had a big row with a Driver one night he said " we don't need bother with brake test" on a 12 car ECS ..I said yes we are having a brake test !

The intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🚫🧢

3:15 i do know this can happen to anyone and not dissing any driver that it happens to , every fiber of my body is squirming having performed other messier approaches or that bloody 'fast curve' just north/northwest next to the bridge at strathenam common >w<

I set myself a task of watching all the cab ride footage in the UK on CZcams several years ago, so, after watching it here, I have to watch the very same footage uploaded by one ElectrostarGeorge. Better than usual: Network Rail are only about 1000 years out with their copyright advisory.

What's a guard? /s

It’s beautiful to see so much effort put into a training video back then whereas these days we just computer image one and be done with it

How amusing, when you realise we used to hack up and down a four track mainline with steam hauled express trains at up to a 100mph, without even AWS. (Waterloo - Bournemouth until 1967) Indeed even with 90mph EMU'S the London-Brighton line (& others) didn't get fitted with AWS until the late 1970's. And these were some of the busiest lines in Britain !!!

TODAY'S REALITY !!! Great idea, except that in more recent years passenger "Train Operating Company" Drivers are no longer allowed to rectify faults. Because they are driving a train that belongs to a different company. One of the three "Train Owning Companies" who don't want other companies staff touching their equipment. Hence when a minor fault such as a faulty sliding door occurs, the whole train may simply have to be taken out of service, inconveniencing passengers.

You’ve heard of “You’ll be going nowhere” But have you ever heard of its sequel, 2:09?

Brian Butterfield once again presenting railway safety films to us!

"As the man argued" That man is you mr tyreman!

Good luck getting drivers to do this sort of thing nowadays

All platforms should have a starting signal or at least a repeater

I had wondered by the tone of this video was played to those drivers who had a spad and had to be “further trained” before they were allowed back driving again

Do you ever get railway companies calling Signal And Or Points Set Incorrect as SAOPSI? Well Henry the Green engine from the Railway Series/Thomas and Friends had a “SAOPSI” when he was pulling the flying kipper. Or is the technology just so advanced these days that “SAOPSIs” may never happen at all?

2:5 i live in napsbury since 2012

Driver:does anyone here knows how to start a failed 455 Me:my time has come

What a terrible sandwich.

Where is paul tyreman?

The music is absolutely dreadful.

man where so they get these bangers of theme songs

Those bloody kids. Little shits could’ve seriously injured the poor driver

THE CESS ISN'T THAT BRAD PITS BROTHER? HA HA HA!

at 29:49 in the handbook theres class 400

1:53 Is that Claire from the FGW video?

I love that ERTMS is kind of the IPv6 of the railway

Where tf were the coasting boards?

Shouldn't this be spad risks 4?

blimey brilliant!! yeah me and the missus drive our trains along there regularly and it all looks so familiar..mad!! that bridge in the background..tennison road..has been replaced now by a huge green bridge. i didn’t recognise that hand signaller and the driver i didn’t recognise!!! so funny to hear how rail comms have changed too. brilliant!!!

their English sounds so strange. different from teacher, from CNN/BBC and Dscovery.

What about Repeater signals? Britain dosen't have those?
