Bless the manager and the driver that allowed this to happen massive respect to them. Atleast your sons dream came true!
Was an awesome day. ;)_~
He’s my next door neighbour he’s retired now
A rare thing nowadays. I rode in the cab of a DMU as a 7 year old between New Mills Central and Manchester Piccadilly. The driver taught me everything regarding safety systems signalling and signal aspects. 53 years ago but remember well
Must have been an amazing experience. I managed to have something similar arrenged during my school years when we were having a "workplace experience" week. I got to go along with different railway staff each day. One day with a driver, the next one with a guard, then a day in the signal box etc. Amazing experience. 15 years later and I've now been on the railway since 2015.
Was very cool
I've been in the cab at London Liverpool Street TWICE and I feel the same joy that this kid does.
I'm actually so jealous. At least you both had a great time!
We had a awesome time something we'll never forget ;)
I went Inside the cab of a pendolino thanks to the manager of Stockport station that’s a friend of my mum
You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any help you can give me
@Ricky Johnny instablaster ;)
@Idris Arlo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I'd like to thank you for sharing this video. I grew up in Rayleigh, and I have never seen before a train driver's view of a train entering Rayleigh station.
Your welcome matey ;)
16:55 The class 321 was built by British Rail Engineering Limited, if you wanted to know. hope the kid had a good day and made the most of it since those trains are being replaced by the new 720's.
What a fantastic experience.
When I did my 2 week Year 10 work experience back in 2011, I was lucky to be allowed to do it as a guard on the Swanage Railway. On my first morning there I was told to jump aboard a moving (3mph) train as it went through the carriage wash. I got to ride on the footplate (steam loco) and sit in the cab of a DMU on the full length of the line both ways, as well as operating the ground frame to run the train around.
I was told how I was very lucky to be allowed to do that for my work experience, would not be allowed now.
Awesome matey, good times ;)_~
Brings back childhood memories for me when I’d go to work with my dad and we’d work that line with slam door units 302, 305, 307, 308 and 312’s
Good old slam door stock, when we was kids we use to go to work with my dad he was a signalman on the Southend central line, got to see the old levers In action in the signal box. He arranged train cab rides for us, can't imagine that happening today with all the health and safety ;)
So lucky
I remember the first time i drove a train during training. What a feeling! /train driver from Sweden
What isit like?
👏👏👏👏 Well done 😄👍 - thank you for sharing for driver’s eye on Southend line where good memory of my work near Wickford.
Thanks matey ;)
The class 321 is my favourite train, I always use it on train games, etc. The boy is lucky.
Fantasic video. Nice cab ride. I wish I was fortunate to be offered the chance to go on a cab ride and be in the cab with the driver lol.
Thanks, it was a awesome day ;)
Seems like a great kid ❤😊Spirit of Sunderland was a great boon to UK.
Hi, my son is awesome, just like me lollllll ;)_~
@@djsquibby Love
Used to drive this route on ts back in the day, it was an add on on pc.
Now im a console driver so to speak lol, would love to drive this again
Hi, my son plays various train sims. He's been learning German and French signalling, safety systems, etc ;)_~
Closest o got to anything like this is I was waiting for a train back ho e as a child with my dad and the driver of a terminating train asked if I wanted to hop in the cab and blow the whistle. One of my oldest train memories
My old station that. Used to skip out the side gate to avoid the inspector on the gate 🤣
Once done a cab ride on the C2C from barking to shoebury that was an experience
Hi ;)_~
That's very nice when kid rides inside Cab! :3 I wish i want to ride on Class 43 Cab lol
;)
@@djsquibby Your amazing
I know how you feel
@@D.music85 Yeah.
I see you’ve still got our FCC 321’s over there!
Wow wish I would of seen this video much sooner.
Used to travel on these everyday.
What a cool experience and the young boy had a great time.
Interesting mix of old and new overhead line equipment at Shenfield.
Also spotted the old red Network Southeast Clock out of action.
We had a awesome time with the drivers, my son will never forget that day ;)
I've been in 315 321 and a couple of cabs from Fenchurch Street to Barking in the 70s.
Cool ;)_~
Love the 321's, disappearing now sadly.
BREL made the 321s they where made in York oh yea BREL stands for british rail engineering limited
Thanks I'll tell my son ;)
@djsquibby reminds me of me and my dad when I was a kid
I love trains. I also play on my Train Simulator 2020 and Train Sim world. Im jellous!
My son plays them also, I must do a video of him driving some trains ;)
U got TSW 2 they got the 313 coming and the Southeastern High Speed Route from London St Pancras to Faversham (the 313 is for ECW
Which is East Coast Way
I have tried to ask my local TOC but of corse with the health and safety it's not possible. I'm so Jealous!
Service From Southend: 1500v dc to 6250v ac to 25000v ac!
Aint been up there in ages!
Last time i did go SE, think i went via central
Looks like you had a great time! How do I do this myself?
We wrote a song about the 'Shenfield Shark' on our channel
Cool, you're welcome to post you're song here ;)_~
I once was in a cab of a 1972 stock on bakerloo line and a 390 when it was virgin
I went in a cab of a 390 aswell
Sad these beasts of a train have gone ;(
True ;(
14:07 That's my most favorite Train! Class 315
Cool
@@djsquibby It's my second ultimate fan
Great video.☺️ I just subscribed to ur CZcams channel.☺️
Thanks, I'm also on Twitch TV.. www.twitch.tv/DJSquibby?sr=a
That kid is sooo lucky to drive a Dustybin!
He was very lucky but he didn't drive the unit ;)
My dream
Class 315 last day in service 26th of November is still going ahead if you can travel on C2C services out of Southend Central as the alternative route due to no services on the Greater Anglia network due to industrial action by ASLEF if you you have booked tickets for the class 315 farewell tour
Cool, will look into that ;)_~
Surely one of them onboard could have cleaned the windscreen?
Lol, we was happy just to be there ;)_~
I miss these trains wish they could bring the greater Anglia class 321 back they are better than the class 720
Cool! How did you get permission for a cab ride? Ace! Congratulations.
I guess we were lucky and It probably helped I worked on the railway many years ago ;)
djsquibby wow! You’re so lucky and fortunate. I congratulate you. I love the railways and want to work on them when I’m a little older. About 6 years I think.
Fly a plane and come back to me 😁
Hello There Again it is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of you Class 313, Class 314 and that also is including those interesting Class 315 Fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 313's Class 314's including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them and including the refurbishment into those Leyland 680 Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Cummins M11 Engine, Gardner 6LXC Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's and convert all of them into a 2 Carriages and Three Carriages of the Class 313's, Class 314's and that is including those Class 315's for most of us Class 314's and the Class 315's Diesel Train Fans Pretty PLEASE Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project
for all of us out there Please?
Wow I had to pretend I was a drivers nephew on a 317 into Moorgate and back to Radlett
Where's Billericay? You should have passed that between Wickford and Shenfield.
wow cool id love that
We had a awesome day, all the rail staff were really cool ;)
Brilliant experience
Was very cool, hopefully more filming coming soon ;)
Wow! Looked like it was fun! Great video.
Was a great day, thanks ;)
better cabs in 313 314 315 317 318 units loads of space there better
No This Is Patrick RBX a 314 cab is spacious? lol its a box in an corner
@@edinburghtransport7604 if you count the whole thing like the front compartment i include it as a cab
Cool! What does the drivers watch look like?
It's a black digital watch (looks very smart). I think the watch time syncs to the drivers home depot/station, remember seeing a sync button on the watch. My son was so chuffed with the gifts and will never forget what everyone did to make his day special ;)
djsquibby wow. Cool. That’s nice. I’m glad you enjoyed your day. 🚂👍😀
At what age does a train driver retire?
Normally at the age of 60
This is so kool
Jealous I want to cab a 321 but it’s rare
So cool!!!!
My son will never forget that day ;)
djsquibby I’m a huge fan of trains!! I would love to be in a real cab!! It looked so cool and interesting.
Nice video mate
Thanks ;)
14:06 thankfully 315856 is now preserved in South Wales while all others were scrapped
14:47 i miss hearing ATOS Anne at Greater Anglia managed stations as they replaced Anne with Ivona Amy, an awful Text To Speech Voice in 2020
What did you ask to gett him to do be able to do that? I would love to do it some day!
We were very lucky I guess, plus it may have helped that I worked on the railway ;)_~
ooh nice! What do you do on the railway@@djsquibby ?
Awesome
That driver looked so fed up
Probably cos he had to put up with us and a train manager in his cab (was a tight squeeze but fun) ;)
@@djsquibby right...
It’s called concentration
@@johnforeman6179 More like he didnt want to be in a tight squeeze
Funny how differently you look at it when don't have to do two or three return trips to London at all hours for 45 years!! LOL
I know what you mean, I was a second man at Stratford and Ripple Lane depot, (freight). The hours were atrocious.
@@djsquibby What I forgot to say was way back in the late 1950's my dad (who worked in Stratford works) took me for a ride on the train to Southend Victoria, I would have been about 8-9 years old then and we arrived at Plat 2 as you did and the driver invited me into the cab. Little did I know then I would end up as a driver there. Dad always told me never get a job on the railway probably due to the rubbish money but after working in London with the high rail fares I thought if you can't beat them join them!!
Hi great video I just want to know how do you get permission to have a cab ride in the 720s?
Thanks... I guess we was very lucky.
@@djsquibbywas the train 4 coach or 8?
@@shihanthetrainspotter Hi, I can't remember, was a while ago now, probably 8 coach ;)_~
@@djsquibby ok Ty :)
Good for the youngster.
He loved it ;)
I have been in many cabs before but they don’t let you anymore. Sad really
Health and safety gone mad, now with the corna virus no chance at all ;)
@@djsquibby nope
@@djsquibbywell to late this recently got the chance to cab a full 700 ride from Brighton-Cambridge which was awesome after nagging for about 5 years it finally happened. Also got the chance to get a few photos inside the cab of the things that replaced these 321’s. The plastic machines otherwise known as the class 720
Omg
14:20 is so cringe
What was the driver manager and the drivers' names?
Sorry I can't remember their names.
I remember working with the driver manager as part of a 2-week work experience programme run by my school. His name is Stuart/Stewart (can’t remember which spelling!). Really nice guy.
Could you tell me how you got the cab ride? I also live on a Greater Anglia route but the managers office is in the middle of the carriage sidings!
Was lucky I guess, got some more train day outs arranged hopefully will film them ;)
@@djsquibby I was wondering, did you go and ask them?
@@MW-wq4ig I went down to the cross roads and struck a deal with the devi ;)
0:20 Video stops loading (voice in background:) we will have loads of fun (loading,loading,loading,loading,loading,loading,loading,loading,loading,loading)
I've just checked the video and everything is okay, please check your Internet.
