DAY 1 Hamburg Miniature Wonderland: • Train Drivers On Tour ...
DAY 3 Dusseldorf: - Zábava
Defintely one of your best videos. Wuppertal has been on my travel bucket list for quite a while now.
When Dizzy mentioned about faults/things going wrong on passenger, and explaining yourself to passengers, it reminded me of a time many moons ago when a train I was on was held for ages by a signal fault. The driver came down the train explaining the situation to everyone, and in those days I used to smoke cigarettes.
I asked him "what's the status?" and he shuddered lol. In reality I was less bothered about getting home and wondered if I had time to sneak out, get away from the platform and have a cheeky ciggie. I told him that's why I was asking and he looked relieved and said "Yeah, probably time yet. I'll give you a shout". Bad habit and all, but at least it wasn't a person whinging at him for something out outside his control.
When I was a passenger driver smoking was banned on all platforms as it still is. Id always turn a blind eye if we were being delayed in a remote platform somewhere.
@@DadRail There were open barriers at that platform fortunately, otherwise I wouldn't have asked. I skipped out into a car park with a fence and a bin where I could see the train and was level with the driver's cab. Glad I packed it in though xD
Great Video. Very enjoyable and I’m now trying to convince wifey to let us go back to Germany soon.
buy her flowers and chocolates and everything will be fine :-)
Ελμπεφερτ σούστα στρασε 1978,😊
First route Dizzy signed was possibly Victoria -Orpington ?Cant believe Dizzy didn't get a doughnut on film !
I think he was at OOC? Believe it or not he didn’t buy any doughnuts😇
@@DadRail not sure about OOC .If Dizzy was a second man before 88 , he's referred to as a 'Lost Boy'. You'll have to ask him?
Will Dizzy get more screen time in part 2 of this railbuster episode?!
Dizzy gets interviewed In part 2. Premiers tonight at 1800
@@DadRail yes, another great episode.Loved the upside down train and good to know Dizzy won't beat my footplate seniority years !
I dont have the problem of dragging my wife everywhere because she is just as interested in trains as i am :)
She is a keeper for sure :-)
What happened to Train Driver Rules series?
I am 80% complete on the next episode. (So much for a weekly schedule)
