It fascinates me that this 100mph max heavy train (11Mk2f+dead 67) which was also heavily delayed towards the end still managed to do the bits between the the M4 crossing points faster than you can drive it along the motorway. The crossing points just west of Swindon, just beyond Wootton Basset and before Bristol Parkway allow you to time it both by train and car. The train always wins, even if you add a minute on this one for the bits not filmed.
Excellent, I did this route on a Pathfinders trip last Nov. Nice to see what the drivers saw. Cheers.
I had a cab ride in a HST going the other way (Bristol Parkway - Swindon) back in April. Max speed reached was 124mph.
I love the old mix match of mk2 carriages. That's what you call a proper train.
Burning Wang How would you know this?
I work on the tracks, my mission is to find one of these videos with the camera catching me on film lol
where? maybe I can help!
how could you help Daveyboy?
This channel always delivers the good stuff!!!!
Loved the journey, not a busy railway as the only train I saw going the opposite direction was at the very end.
you oversly aint watched it all the way through, there was a cl221 x.crountry at westerleigh jc, a cl158 in southwest trains colours, most proberly going to glos or great malvern, the hst at parkway itself, and if you looked hard enough, you would see a cl150 in the platform with a service to sunny weston-s-mare. nice vid tho, well done to the driver.
Great journey. I just wish there was a full Paddington to Swansea release. I know video125 does Swindon to fishguard but it is heavily edited. Thanks for sharing
Mesmerizing stuff; quite an impressive speed as well!
You prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Blaze Owen instablaster =)
@Bentlee Fabian i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Bentlee Fabian It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Blaze Owen glad I could help xD
Great video
amazing video
Brilliant video
Absolutely fascinating!
Two questions - First, I noticed tons of scrap metal in between the lines in the form of rails which have presumably been left behind after earlier rail replacements. Why doesn't Network Rail have them removed as part of the replacement process? Surely this is a potential hazard in itself as well as an open invitation to metal thieves.
Second, why did the driver stop at one yellow light but not others?
Good footage was my enroute towards bath.
when the driver brought the throttle back, it reminded me of the two cylinder John Deere tractor I drove back on the farm in my youth! That roadbed is in terrific shape, couldn't detect any thumping as the train went through the switches.
Cool
Really good, just next time please don't editted out the journey through the tunnels, thats all part of the journey.
* That signal at 29:48 looks as if it's about to slide down the embankment :D
There is no signal?!
+Mr Dreamliner That thing sticking up beside the track.
Yeah, welcome to the neglected Great Western Mainline.
i see the signal, in very good condition and in a brilliant spot, trust me, I see a fuck load worse on my patch!
I drove this train.
Amazing footage of the cab ride did u drive?
He's not a driver
High Speeds Trains James1 Ooops
I'm not a qualified driver but I've driven a HST. 43096+43118.
Duncan Bhaltair Eanraig Wilson - I dont think playing Train Simulator counts 😂
would love to see one of these trips where the windscreen was not covered in poo and dead insects,oh well.
A clean windshield at the start would have been nice. The attempt to clean it half way through only made it worse.
Why don't all trains in 2016 record their journeys with a simple cam built into the front of the trains. For safety litigation For example people jumping in front of trains Graffiti artists. The down side is they also record Cab conversations detect unauthorised people in the cabs oh dear. Just think of the advantages the rail companies could use these videos for driving training or even sell them to General public I willing for correction But i am sure watching an American cab ride Between the two drivers built into the Widescreen is a camera For these purposes.
I Personally Take my hat of to you guys for making and Bringing these videos to us. Thank you very much, I mean it. I get so much joy watching them. But there something winding me up i should not let it. But I been watching General Train video amateurs take from various locations As much as I love Trains. There like watching Paint dry. I wish the guys would speak they have voices. and tell us what we are seeing where we are seeing it. I hate the sound of the SLR camera shutters going its actually got to me so much i turn the sound off. I Have a vision of Men with video cameras every time a train passes doing lavatory chain pulls at the driver to pull the horn. I see this in your Videos and for some reasons incenses me. But thats my problem to deal with
+John Phillips East Coast HSTs and 91s do have them fitted in the cab
pretty much every train has all the recording facilities you speak of. they only get used when a driver has made a mistake or a serious incident has occurred. for these reasons alone the general public will never see then and nor should they! rest assured, every journey is scrutinised.
Simon Travers XC HSTs aswell
like the fast run through points at wooton basset junction speed about 60 ?
70mph
How do you get the cab rides?
What train is it pulling?
I saw you in swindon
Bug to others on the windshield ... "Who dropped their guts?"
Second question - why did the driver stop at one yellow light but not others?
+Leighton Yeo he was taking the brakes off so he can move they only stop at red lights
time please?
Ah the class 67 for having such a noisy engine. Doesn't sound as good compared to the Class 66 and 68. Nice video :)
funny how 67 sounds nothing like 66 despite being almost the same loco
How come you are allowed in the cab
If I'm not mistaken, the beeping is ATP at work, right?
+Jan Imhof depends on what beeping hes talking about. the actual beeping every minute when the throttle isnt touched is the DSD. the signals are the AWS
actually, if were getting pedantic, the beeping every minute or so is the VIGALANCE going off, you then need to respond to that by using the DSD to cancel it! you get about 3-5 seconds to sort it out, or you can just lift your foot every minute or so when you know there will be high activity with the horn, AWS, PTI ect. stops you worrying about it going off at inconvenient times
Why the Class 43 thumbnail?
It’s part of the video 🤔
（＾ω＾） What a fast and long Distance between the Stations than Japan!!
And what is that the noise of rattling? (Generator or Compressor??)
probably just age mate!!!
d(*´ω｀*) OK!!
That is an unusually long stretch with no stations. Nearer London there are stations every few miles.
A HST would travel at least twice as fast a this!
No not quite. Class 67's are actually capable of 125, just like HST's. However this was limited to 100 due to the coaching stock.
250mph! One day maybe lol
hst wouldnt be twice as fast pulling the weight a 66 does...hes probably pulling over 1000 tons
was this a rail tour
Are the Class 67s allowed to go 125mph with Mk3 coaches?
+JBtrainman Yes.
+Mick Daubney But do they ever actually reach that speed in service?
JBtrainman no
HST at 33:36
Design maximum speed is impressive; how fast do you think 67021 was doing?
+London Midland Fan / shelby3024 90 Max I would say.
Thanks DSH
No Problem, 67's Where Tested up to 125mph but are not capable on the Network. I think they can get up to 100mph top speed
Ta
+Britt Unculus 67's were & are capable of 125. But with mk2 coaches behind it and another dead 67 on the back top speed is 100. 67's usually do 100 during normal service and mk2 coaches are maximum speed of 100 :)
* Encouraging to see how useless the wipers are!
theyre much better when its sunny!
Why is that kind of engine pulling that kind of train? I'm no expert- I'm a dolphin
can I get a ride
Are u a train driver?
5:55
A fright train

Can anyone just ask for a cab ride?
you need a permit
You lost me? What Country is this "In"? Why isn't it saying what Country this is "In"?
+Michael Price England
MATT
What is making that terrible noise?
shame about the window,how can the driver see out that widow at night?
I suppose you must need official permission to put the camera in the cab, it's not just a case of asking the driver? Shows how noisy those things are in the cab, doesn't it.
Horrendously noisy in the cab compared to other locos. except 59s and 66s. So much for the wonders of EMD engines.
bit noisey
can't you talk!?
Honesty Queen Why should he? I doubt the driver would appreciate being distracted.
