Lovely route for a driver .

[@adammoss5284]

Some nice countryside and proper fresh air on the route. Mk.1 was nicer to travel on than the sprinters 👍🏻

[@phwbooth]

Delightful. Thanks.

[@EM-yk1dw]

Many thanks once again 😊

Great video of real rail life back in those days, you just wonder where the time went!
Excuse my ignorance on one point though - was the train dispatched against a "red" signal at the start?

[@SuttonOnSea-in-00]

If you look to the right of the view you'll see an off signal. That was the Platform 7 starter. Beyond that, the red, was the starter/section signal with East Holmes' fixed Distant below it. It was practice for signalman to clear the platform starter and when the train began to move the gates would go then the section signal be cleared.

[@edf6607]

@@SuttonOnSea-in-00 Ahh - I missed that and stupidly didn't realise the "on" signal was for the other platform. Makes sense now thanks

[@peterwilliams8122]

Any idea of the date of this film ? I worked at the oil depot in Torksey. 1980 to 1986

[@bcm409]

What year was this ?

[@KeithJones-yq6of]

A bit naughty giving two on the buzzer when the starter was on. Different times I suppose

[@Grid56]

And a guy hanging off the window 😂

[@SuttonOnSea-in-00]

The starter wasn't on. The platform starter is to the right of the window. The red you're looking at is the section signal

[@KeithJones-yq6of]

@@SuttonOnSea-in-00 Now I see it. Having said that, it was still a massive SPAD trap, the starter being so close to the section signal (which in all essence was a second starter) . Reminds me of Oxford Road in Manchester with two very close platform signals. Having said that I suppose there was a local instruction not to pull the starter unless you could pull off the section signal at the same time

[@SuttonOnSea-in-00]

@KeithJones-yq6of not that I remember. Pulled off the starter when the TRTS went then closed gates and pulled section starter when moving. I don't recall there ever being a SPAD either. That section starter applied to the Down Main, Plat 6, plat 7 (the platform in the vid and the old P8 to the left.

[@KeithJones-yq6of]

@@SuttonOnSea-in-00 No disrespect to you. but that would be considered a high SPAD risk now unless both could be pulled off at the same time. What if you had a problem with the gates?
