- Its been four year since I did any filming on Carlisle Station at night.
I said the last time it would be doubtful if I would do it again as the class 86 were due to go.
Anyway as the RHTTs were about I decided to give it another go and was pleased what I got to see.
Blimey, this brought back some memories from back in the day when I did this sort of thing myself. Back then it was classes 81, 82, 85, 86, 87, 47, 40, 31, 25, and a class 08 busily shunting in station limits. Looks like you had a great night.....
Oh yes they were bloody fantastic days Julian which I remember so well as I was in them days collection stock, you would get the numbers of the coaches, the look up the line and there would be another train waiting to come into the station. GREAT DAYS indeed.
Yes I had a ok night last week.
Cheers Mike.
Loved the traction you captured there thank you for recording. Great seeing the 90's. Got a chance in the last years on the Anglian line out of Liverpool Street riding behind these.
Great locos the 90s which should still be working out of Liverpool Street I think, and the 86 going up and down the WCML.
But most people would disagree with me I'm sure.
Thanks David for your interest in this video. Mike.
Enjoyed it very much. Never realised there was so much traffic about at that time of night. I couldn't get over the length of some of the trains, I reckon there were 44 on the empty cars. If I lived near Carlisle I would be down there often. Rubbish day and night where I live, Sheffield. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Albert for your interest in my video which is very appreciated, yes I have to agree with you Sheffield hasn't got a lot going for it these days apart from the very few freight trains that pass through and this time of the year the RHTT.
I remember it was a great station in the 70s and 80s and the 90s with the HSTs.
Cheers Mike.
Great video, and good to see many Freightliner Class 90s in action !
Yes Anthony that what I was hoping to film class 90s and it was great I got to see seven.
Thank you for your comment on this video.
Fantastic footage of Carlisle at night. Love the 90s. Appreciating all your hard work. 😊
Glad you enjoyed my video, and thank very much for your comment.
More variety than the section of ECML I live near...😢
Good stuff Mike your camera works well with night shots
Yes I took one of my old one's as I think its better for night filming.
Fab video from Carlisle 👍
That is very nice of you to say that, cheers.
Great footage. Plenty of stuff still coming through Carlisle. I remember in in the late 80s but there was probably one or two more enthusiasts about then.
When you went in the 80s it was bloody great.
It’s years since I seen Carlisle at night Mike excellent night time video
Thanks for saying that Andrew, Not sure if I will leave it another four years. Cheers Mike.
I scored my last needed class 86 there many many years ago.
Oh yes that's when we had them great 86s about, cheers.
Carlisle is so busy Mike for freight especially the evening and into the early mornings. Good one 👍
Well Keith its a lot better at night than during the day I think.
Thank you for your comment, Mike.
Great workings, well worth the trip.👍👍
It was David, thank you Mike.
Hello Mike, I think tonights traffic made for the most interesting video possible on todays railway. Its nice to see the 325s again, after Crozier took the work off them and the 90s are always good to see
I miss the 86s, but its nice to see the 88s , they seem good performers (even though they always look like theyve had an accident 😊😊) and the empty car train was impressive too .As was your Chips , beans, and sausage 😋 .
Altogether very well filmed, and thanks for that .
Made my evening, 👍👍 Thanks again for this Video 😊 ATVB to you Ian
That is good Ian that this video had made your evening, for me it was well worth the trip up on the train, although there was a two quite times which give me time to visit the spoons around the corner.
I was hoping for a good day on the Friday but what happened then will be on another video.
Thank you so much Ian for your continued watching of my video. Mike.
Very nice work, Mike, and a “collector’s” piece because the mail trains won’t bear the EIIR insignia much longer. Thanks for posting.
Oh yes that is a good point you made, cheers for watching.
Great work Mike, the 90s and 68/88s are some of my favourite locos so this was a real treat for me
That is brill James, It makes it all worthwhile sharing my footage when I get comments like your.
You take care, regards Mike.
Great video Mike, wonderful to see the 90s hard at work. Enjoyed this video
I too enjoyed the chance to do something a bit different.
Wow Mike. I've almost forgotten the amount of variety there is overnight passing through Carlisle. Loved the class 66 alongside the passing class 90's both on intermodal workings.
Outstanding footage Mike :-)
Yeah Ricky them two coming towards me was a great catch indeed.
Thank you for watching, plus your comment regards Mike.
Great video at Carlisle Mike. Good shots of 90s and 88s in action, thanks for showing and stay safe. All the best, Arnold
I was hoping to see some class 90s so it was a good night in my book Arnold, ATB Mike.
@antman09ful1 Oh nice looks like you had a good day at Carlisle 👍
5:12 Never mind the trains, that's a nice plate of sausage and chips! 🍽+🚂👍
11:26 Some tasty Shed-thrash inside the trianshed.
Yes all good stuff Dave.
@@antman09ful1was it from the local spoons ?
Cracking video Mike as always 😊 Most of that traffic passes the back of my new house in Barton but I’m never there 😫 I’m in Belfast today. Shame about the TPE class 68 being relegated to RHTT 😮 Take care 👍🏻
Good of you Stevie to check out my Carlisle footage, which is not that far really from your home.
Its a disgrace what is happening with them 68s and MK 5s coaches I have to say.
Great video!
Thank you Josh for watching.
Enjoyed.
Great that's what its all about.
Epic footage Mike, nice of you to brave the cold nights this time of year and treat us to the goings on at Carlisle when most of us are tucked up in bed 😂 Also glad you got your last class 802 there. 68031 is one of my last 3 class 68s as well. Stay safe Mike and all the best, Colin.
Lets put it like this Colin you wont see me doing this to often, I was well wrapped up and enjoyed doing something a bit different.
Cheers for taking a look at my video, have a good weekend, Mike.
Crackling. If it’s wet look up at the OLE insulators. You will often see and hear electricity leaking across them.
Ok cheers.
Amazing shots and captures there Mike. Nice sounds and liveries. Excellent detailing and camera work! Another gooden from you! Good action and variety at Carlisle. The 90s and 88s were great. Car train was good as well. Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie
It had its moment that night did Jamie, but it was worth it in the end I 'm saying.
You have a goodun Mike.
Amazing video as always Mike👍
Not bad was it, I was pleased ENC.
Busy night there Mike,bet it was a bit parky.No where near as much action now though.Great location in the day.
Alan it was a bit chilly but I was well prepared for the night there, yes you are right its a big difference there now compared to the 1980/90s.
Thanks for taking a look at my video, regards Mike.
Great catches of a good night Mike. I like Carlisle, but never been there that late! Plenty of freight, great to see the two leaving at the same time.
Yes them two departing was a great catch wasn't Phil, I think its better to have a session there at night than during the day, unless there is a few railtours about.
Cheers Mike.
Great video Mike, plenty of variety there!
Andrew it made a nice change to do some late night filming, but also sad that looking back to the other years it has changed so much.
Take care Mike.
Great video, quite unusual to see class 90s not on platform 4!
Yes I know what you mean going southbound. Cheers for your comment.
@@antman09ful1 Yeah Platform 3 is usually northbound, although I have seen southbound trains on platform 3 but never the 90s!m
Good video Mike :)
Glad you enjoyed it Simon.
Great video Mike, I assume you need permission to stay on the platforms after the station closes. Nice to see so many electric locos, especially the orange class 90's. Well done mate 🤓
I had permission to stop on the station after it closed, but I only needed another thirty minutes and they were ok with that Tony.
Cheers for your comment on my video, regards Mike.
Good video Les, very quiet and spooky at night, lots of echo. I still can`t find out why the 90`s go around in pairs, that`s 10000 HP, crazy.
Why am I called Les.
Another great video!
Please excuse my ignorance, but does anyone know why the 88 has a light on top? I've noticed this on some EMUs too that are powered by overhead lines.
I did read a few years back the reason but I'm sorry I cant remember why, I think it was something to do with when they are serviced at depots.
Thank you for your comment on my video mate.
Very good night i would say mike, loads of 90's to video, do you get locked out after middnight, cheers Steve 🙂👍
Yes it was great to see the 90s, no I had a chat and was allowed to stop on the station until I wanted to go which was after midnight.
(Station closes at 23.45, then opens again when the sleeper arrives Steve)
Cheers Mike.
Some nice atmospheric shots there Mike, well worth the trip.
I think so Bryan, but I wonder if I will give it another go in the future. ??
Nice footage mike
Cheers Kev.
Nice to view whilst having my evening meal. Hope they left the toilet open for you.
Oh yes Keith they did, and they let me stop on the station till I wanted to leave.
Thats good to hear. Nothing has changed then.@@antman09ful1
Would of been interesting there about 70 yrs ago.
I thought it was great in the 80s when I did all-nighters there which you can't do these days.
I suppose the 80s had a bit more variety. I don't see the attraction of railways these days.
Some great shots.
Do you need to sign in / permission to stay overnight?
I never stayed overnight mate, they do shut the station at 23.45 but I had permission to stop for a extra 30 mins.
Cheers for watching my video.
Great clip of the 90s coming in at 2.11 .... with the driver change ... was that 4S88 ? as there is no tag for them ... thats interesting that 4L81 had 90s on out of Coatbridge, but I don't think its ever 90s out of London Gateway ... they must only go as far as Basford Hall ... and switch over to 66s
I just don't know how I forgot to put that first class 90 working in the video sir, it was 4M80 Coatbridge FT to Crewe Basford Hall yard.
You are right about 4L81 the 90s do come off.
Thank you very much for watching and pointing out my mistake.
Hey, no worries, I'm Kat, btw .. i chase the 90s passing through Stafford, and electrics .. like the 92, 88, and so on .. i regularly make mistakes on my videos and my followers always give me the heads up with such things @@antman09ful1
Will have a look at your videos Kat.
enjoy 🙂@@antman09ful1
Just an idea if you'd put the timings up or show the clock so we could see what time all these trains are on the move?
I feel with all the editing I do with the numbers and head codes which all take a lot of time, but if you need to see what time I filmed the trains then you can look on RTT which will tell you.
Why did the 90s reverse a touch before setting off?
Yeah that's right, but I don't know.
Great footage Mike
How long were you there ?
Orange livery 90’s look good at night time on the lights in the station
Arthur I was hoping to see as many 90s as possible, and was not disappointed with getting seven on film.
I was on and off the station in a period of five and a half hours.
Cheers Mike.,
@@antman09ful1 Great Stuff
Am finally visiting Carlisle station in a few weeks - I hope the cafe stays open late (where is it btw? In the station or close by?)
Best person to ask is Les Gilpin who has his own video channel here on CZcams and visits Carlisle quite a lot.
No cafe on station big pub and other cafe just in Court SQ out side station
Jonathan you have a good day and I hope you see what you are going for.
As you have already been told there is no cafe etc on the station, but just outside there are lots of places to get food and drinks.
Cheers for watching Mike.
Go outside the station and turn right onto botchergate and there’s take away’s,Pubs, plenty of places to get food
I for one would have gained added interest from seeing the time each train passed on the on screen information. Great production though 👍
Just seen your answer to someone else lower down!
I see you don't live that far away from Carlisle with just one train journey to get there, plus most of the trains I filmed that night run every night John.
So I'm sure you know about RTT and now RTT put the headcodes on so that will tell you the times of the trains passing through the station as the information I give on my videos is ok for most people.
If the train was running late I would have given that information.
Thank you for saying it was a great production, regards Mike.
Did the station staff not kick you off when the station closed mate?
No I spoke to a staff member and explained what I was doing and that I would like to stop on the station for a extra 30 mins, and they were ok with that.
If that's what turns you on...good luck to you (everyone should have a hobby!?!?)
I agree Tony.
