    Nice video, thanks for sharing it. The driver on the platform waiting to relieve the 'liner was me, my Heavyhall job that morning was cancelled so I was 'nicked' by Intermodal to cover one of their Crewe diagrams, unfortunately I was not told that 4M95 had a 70 on it and since I've not driven one for well over a year I couldn't take it forward (I'm still waiting for a refresher on them!). After a few phone calls were made the Eastleigh guy I relieved worked his booked job back south and a Lawley Street man came out to work 4M95 forward to Crewe. Rules are rules, and if I'd taken it forward myself and had any kind of incident I'd be looking forward to receiving a P45 in the post!

      Thank you very much Nigel for your comment on that morning, I was told by a freightliner guy what had happened but not so much info as you, that a driver had to come from Lawley Street in a taxi, but cheers for your in-depth story of that morning which I very much appreciate. ATB Mike.

    Nuneaton is certainly a busy place Mike, so many freights always passing through. Magnificent shots and captures there! Glad you caught these! Excellent detailing and camera work! A perfect example of why I recommend your excellent channel! Nice intermodal trains and 70s! That mess up with 002 was interesting! The perfect vid! Great stuff! Top class! No faults at all! Well done! Great work! Highly enjoyable stuff! A winner! Nice car train and sleeper too! Nice clag from 002, interesting track machines in the back! Very nice indeed! Looooooooooooooooved it! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie

    Always enjoy seeing the beds coming through Nuneaton. My favourite time there is early evening at this time of the year when there is a hint of fog in the air. Happy memories of A/C electrics hurtling through, while a class 31 working Birmingham to Norwich services would be ticking over waiting time, with a 47 or a peak in the sidings.

And having worked on some parallel sided diesel locos (though not the 70s), I'd sooner have a layout like the 'Bones', making it far easier to check behind you, especially when the train is on a curve.

      @@antman09ful1 we have had such a lot of new drivers in the last couple of years, and the priority is getting them trained up and out there. The basic loco is the 66 so after they pass out they do conversions on the 90s and 70s but while they are waiting they are out driving. I can imagine that from time to time a train will arrive somewhere and this will happen. I personally haven't been on a 70 for a couple of years, as they don't do a huge amount of intermodal work these days

    What a poor performance from these drivers and signallers.
    It's time all trains are driverless. The technology is there (as has been in decades on the DLR)! Stop striking and let us get to our hospital appointment ffs!
    Having said that, I love freight trains, but please scrap the drivers to make the railways safer, more affordable and computers will not go on strike and fuck ppl up who are struggling to make ends meet and can't get to work. You do an awesome job ppl, but it's just not good enough!

      Making railways more affordable - automation and full electrification would cost millions and take years and where exactly in the world is a fully automated mixed traffic high speed mainline railway? How long does your PC last at home before it needs binning and replacing? Even the Swiss still have drivers. Metros are one thing, heavy rail is a different thing altogether. Unless the UK government change the way railways are funded and run nothing will change. Antman, I Enjoyed the video, thanks for filming it

      @Paul Radon - what the hell are you on about, blaming the signallers, you IDIOT? Signallers aren't responsible for rostering train crews!!

      It's got sod all to do with strikes, see my earlier comment about a traction knowledge cock up. The rules have to be followed and that's it I'm afraid.
