- EWS Class 31466 cab ride from Lydney Junction - Horchard on the Dean Forest Railway....on the 21st September 2013..I do apologise for the Aston Villa sticker in the window..(poor taste)..lol
Love the driver covering up the speedo with his diagram when the camera was watching ;-)
The cup adds a certain homeliness to it all!
So true!
lovely ole 31 's..!!! :) ~ may they go on forever, Nice little ride too..
Old 31 sounds great, whistling away, great video.
The real macoy
A great video you capture the sights and sounds just right cheers
Great video. This must be the cleanest 31 I've seen. At 1.47 Those wagon are a bit overgrown.
Yeah, most are a bit grimey and well used to say the least!
love the piece of paper placed over the speedo lol
I wonder why..lol
Exactly, ask away.
Got a cab ride Lime st to Crewe,, I was Pway,,, but not on duty.
Dad blagged a Euro star,, going on holiday. He was footplate staff though.
ASK,,, they can always say no.
Lonely, one man operation. !!!
Nice vid Kev. 👍😎🐢
Lovely class 31 upsetting there is a aston villa badge I'm a birmingham city fan 😂
1:11- such a shame to see 73002 in such a state
Agreed, even a decent tarpaulin is better than left to deteriorated in the open air.
Blimey! Not a lot left of that gronk at 1.18! The 73 could do with a bit of a spruce up too!
Mike Paull it is spares for our other gronks (Gladys and Charlie) it has been nicknamed Doris
Having driven a Class 31 I kind of know what lever does what but I was only limited to 25mph
Paul Osborne 25mph is the limit on the Dean Forest Railway so we're not supposed to exceed that (the steam locos do because they don't have a speedometer)
No need to apologise
How did you get a cab ride? or are you only now aloud them for passenger trains? because my cousin drives the EWS Class 60 and 66's and id love to go on a ride with him on one.
Taken on my birthday also! :)
awh right. yeah that's very true :P. only thing is health and safety is ridiculous and he does freight work, such as taking coils, tankers and coal to various places.
Looks awsome!!!!
Looks like one big scrapyard !!
Nice video!
1uite right too Aston Villa of all things totaly ruined my enjoyment of this video LOL. No seriously, good vid thanks for sharing.
A ride about as slow as when they were used with Mk1 coaches on Leicester to Norwich services. Truly a line that time forgot. Can a 31 actually manage 90 mph?
Yes
What are the oblong lumps in front of the left and right hand windows for?
They cover the windscreen washer jets I believe
alan lake that is correct
That is clean, did someone's mum get in there? lol
It would be clean not for the Aston Villa sticker
1:10 - Driver appears to have green to proceed, before road barriers have started dropping. Erm, is this standard signalling practice?
nlo114 yes it is. That is just the way our barriers work. We are allowed to proceed at a white or green light.
what loco was this? it look's like a class 31 but u never know.
31 466
It is EWS 31466 (not 446)
k thanks :D
Nice video shame about the sticker #SOTV #Up the baggies lol
What line is this?
The Dean Forest Railway
Villa till I die!
Video ruined by the Aston Villa club crest on the windscreen 👎🏻
Lol
Whish I could do it
Ruined by the villa sticker
Ruined by the sticker
🤣😂🤣
