When I started 1982 it was every class from 08 to 60s and everything in between...I packed it in when 66 appeared. Don't you get sick of seeing 66 66 66 66 all the time? (Well 90%) ;)
Sometimes I do, but not very often tbh. I miss the whole variety of locos we used to have running around everywhere, but I just think back and think that it's something else, 😆
You're a braver man than me Pete, i would have given in to the rain long before that. Glad you stuck it out though and produced another great video. Take care mate, Colin.
excellent video Pete great mix as well loved it , what crap weather for you matey ,nice to know you can always get a shower and get tided up lol + more black for us cheers COAL IS KING year too right Pete thanks for sharing this awesome video on an abysmal day top man Pete keep em coming take care a t b syd👍🦮
Many thanks, Syd. I didn't expect the rain to be so bad tbh. When I left Thorne South, it was easing of but nothing that bad, really. It wasn't until the doors opened at Hatfield that it was like someone had just turned the tap on full, lol. That bridge wants pulling down mate it's in a bad state. It's great getting the Black stuff bombing about again. Just a shame it's for a short time. Going to miss them 😢. Keep safe mate
I don't believe it Pete you have gone that many times to Thorne South that Network Rail have put you a shower in. Great service. Lol. Lovely video again, A lot going to Goole Docks. I presume for Export .
Thanks Ernest 👍 I know it's nice of them to do that , shame I'd had a shower before I left, 😆 Yes them rails were getting exported abroad, fella. It's great to see British Steel exported.
😆 🤣 I wasn't prepared, mate, caught of guard as they say lol. It was abysmal mate that rain. I know Charlie would have been not impressed, mate, bless him.....
Well done braving the rain. Just for your info the coal train at Conisbrough was going slow as there is a 10mph limit over the bridge over the River Don just outside the station for heavy axle weight vehicles, being loaded with coal the HTA’s would probably be Route Availability 10 (RA10 for short), so a frustrating crawl for the driver until clear.
@@donnypete The bridge the other side of Conisbrough Tunnel where the River Don goes back under the line has a 40mph limit for HAW wagons, but as you’re already braking for the 10mph one you sort of just incorporate it into your braking.

The main thing is you are getting out not like me, top video you have put together Pete. 😊

Thanks, Mate, for that info. I've wondered for ages why they crawl around the corner 🤔. I always thought it was the signalling. Thanks Again

@S2RUF makes sense then realy. Thanks mate
Great video Pete :)
Thanks Simon 👍 😊
Worth getting wet for, are they steel ingots on them flatbeds?.
It's definitely worth getting up for. I didn't think it would rain like it did, though, 😆 and yes, they are ingots
when did they upgrade Thorne South pete as when i went in 2009 it was not like that
I'm unsure, mate. I found out that the bridge was put up in 2013 as the foot crossing was being abused. Hope that helps
