- A Drs pair of 88 sat down at shap and caused mayhem and delays for the entire west coast main line
Freights are seen as are TPE 397 and Avanti pendolinos
Class 37, #railway #train #freighttrain #trainspotting #electriclocomotive #railwayjourney 66,68,70 & 88
Had the pleasure of working with the Brett that 390129 gets it's name from - was one of the nicest people I've ever met when working in this industry, and a touch of class for AWC to name a Pendo in his honour after his passing
Hello.brian ..ive just been watching Leslie from Carlisle very good video's. 2 brian ..shows a wide range of trains ..busy place eh ..😊.
I learn so much from watching your channel as ever thanks Brian
Potters Bar was a loose/missing stretcher bar on a point. Hatfield was a cracked rail.
Sorry got the wrong one
Thank you brian love it my freind !!!
Thank you
You caught things on an interesting day - its been pretty uneventful for the previous few days! Nice to see the Citadel from someone else's perspective
You ventured much further north for this video. Wonder if Leslie Gilpin was at the station as he films on quite a number of days for his channel. Good video Brian as always. Cheers Euan
Peterborough was chaos yesterday too. Alot of Leeds services were turned back because of signal issues. Nothing was getting past Newcastle either because of the storm
Darent think how many hours I’ve sat in Carlisle station . Every Saturday as a kid I was down there, sat on a BRUTE taking down numbers.
Was always locos sat in the sidings in front of the powerbox or against the back wall. Loads of freight back then. Stone from shap, steel coils from RavensCraig, , rails from BSC Workington , fuel tanks from Stanlow to dalston, local trip workings from the ammo dumps at eastriggs and longtown,
All as good as gone now.
The other day a avanti train eus-edb was terminated at Preston due to a track issue north of Carlisle, leaving many upset passengers . Why couldn't a thunderbird take the train from Carlisle to Newcastle and onto Edinburgh? Avanti we all know don't care but some poor passengers were having to get taxis from Preston onwards. It doesn't do the railways image much good.I am a railcard holder and love rail travel.
The Plessey viaduct at Cramlington, North of Newcastle is damaged, with one way running, so added traffic on the East Coast Mainline is not going to happen.
Great video from Carlisle don’t know if you know Carlisle Station Gona get major face lift think it starts next year both back and front entrances will change and a lot of work inside station it’s self 👍
Got caught in this chaos on my commute home. I usually get the 15:59 from penrith to carlsile but instead, waited on a tpe train for 25 minutes before it was cancelled and sent beckwards towards preston.
I left Manchester Airport at 11:17, got home just outside Edinburgh at 22:30 by taxi from Carlisle.
Great video Brian. It’s a wonder that you didn’t bump into Les Gilpin there who films regularly at Carlisle. As regards led flicker - have you tried changing the settings on your iPhone? Go to Settings >Camera >Record Video >Show PAL Formats and select any one of the 25fps options (1080p or 4K) for our 50Hz frequency - should eliminate the flickering.
Assuming this was Friday Euan, I was having a day off. On the face of it there seemed nothing unusual happening. Then I found out in the evening it was chaos with nothing going up the wcml north from Carlisle!
@@LeslieGilpinRailways I think you’re allowed an odd day off 😉 Notification of your videos is always a highlight 👍🏻 I’ve enjoyed the appearance of the Azuma fleet recently.
Another great video thank you. I know this question does not have anything to do with video; I watched a training video yesterday regarding the class 9100, my question is will these replace the class 9000 you use at freightliner.
No class 91 are useless for intermodal
The class 90 will be around for a long time yet
It's fascinating to see that goods train transporting all that timber. What would also be interesting is to see what happens to the train at its destination. Is there a spur directly taking the train into the lumber mill? I hope it's not necessary to first transfer the logs to lorries.
the 37 was in wick caitness the tast train
Fantastic real life stuff as always. What makes that ticking noise when diesel engines are turned off. I've wondered that for years. Keep up the videos. We learn so much juicy stuff. 😂
It's the "spitter" valve for the air brake system. When you compress air, some of the moisture in it condenses as a liquid. You really don't want liquids in your brake system, so there are valves at the lowest points in the system, where the water collects. The valve periodically opens and the air pressure blows the water out.
Ah fantastic. Now I know.
It is called a Spirax valve as @beeble2003 mentioned, its to bleed moisture out of the air system to avoid brake issues etc.
@@2Wheels1rider I figure that "Spirax" is a specific brand.
@@beeble2003 Don’t quote me, but I believe it was the name given to it by BR back when they built their own stock. I think it was first coined with the 37 or 47, but again im not sure. I think as you mentioned, now that building has been outsourced, various companies have different names/brands for it. It just stuck in my head when i was 5 ,and visited Laira HST depot in 1991 (which is literally in my back yard), an engineer told me when I questioned him. Dunno why it stuck with me 😂
Had the pleasure of sleeping in the waiting room with a coal fire with a lot of car transporter trains filled with transit vans going thru all night
Nice vid Brian, was this today ? You put no date on
Yes today
Brian do you sign carlise as part of your route knowledge card being a Crewe based driver
Yeah us on the West highland line get screwed. Unless you have a bike.
Brian Pendilino. How many driver changes. Or Do drivers drive all the way London to Glasgow
Those 68s were quiet
Do you know why the Class 70 numbering suggests there’s over 800 of them? Why are Freighliner’s numbered 700xx and the Colas’ 708xx?
Sooooo...... you think 2 1/2 hours in a 155 to Glasgow is crap as a punter? You've not driven one I assume ? Then you'd know the poor sap in the cab has the worst seat in the house ! These things have no place on a civilised railway. We are very good in this country of making rail travel a morale-busting ,soul-destroying experience. Then again , let's not forget all the other 14x and 15x cabs. Those ironing board seat are something of a pandemic , these days, alas. They're spreading in Europe, too . But , my! How neatly pressed and trim- looking our arse cheeks will be !
I drove and conducted 156 for 16yrs and actually preferred them as a driver to 153 and 158
Aye , the 156's , if not so much the best of the bunch , were maybe better described as the least offensive. As for 142's, I doubt anything in the bistory of mankind has spawned as many bad back claims ! The 153's , oddly , even though derived from redundant, trouble-prone 155 sets , were ever so slightly better with the ergonomics at the modded end, but not by much . Didn't do much for claustrophobia though.....When first built, you had the 'pleasure' of , if you positioned yourself just right , of being able to see the ballast on the left side of the desk knee-hole at floor level No doubt a feature you'd pay extra for on your Bentley ! Anyone who ever griped to me about 66 cabs got told they ain;t seen nuthin yet.
Gotta love that weather-induced chaos, have you noticed the uncanny way that as soon as one little thing goes tits on the job, loads more follows as sure as eggs is eggs? Keep up the good work with the vlogs ,it's nice to see what's going on with things.
On that Network Rail test train, one carriage had all the electronic test equipment, so what are the remaining yellow carriages for?
Mess room facilities, bunks, also storage as well as adding brakforce to the train
The last coach looked like it had a driving cab. Is that right?
It looks like it can also be used in push pull config.
formerly used Norwich to Liverpool Street, and before that Glasgow to Edinburgh
Does the Driver on the Class 66 towing the failed 88’s have to be qualified on both types or just the working loco?
No just the rescuing loco as the 88 driver would deal with isolating ot
The 88 would effectively become a wagon
Why 3 trains on that train
Did it need 2 for the power, 1 as a spare
It was originally 2x88 as it normally should be but they failed and the 66 was dispatched to rescue it
All trains from Cardiff to Manchester were cancelled.
Trains were also geting cancelled in Wrexham since low places were flooding
Tree
That log train is a daily service. It scares me to think of where there getting the trees from and how there replacing them 😢
The train takes them back overnight. Don’t worry.
Do drivers enjoy driving through the Lune Gorge? It must be great up front.
Most places in the UK replant. We're a small country, so if we chop trees down without replacing them, we'll quickly run out. It's basically just a form of farming.
