Thoroughly enjoyed this video thank you

You got normal speed?

There are no real train driver's now that all ended with steam and privatisation what we have now is human robots the railways are desperate to be nationalised again I know plenty of drivers who won more than happy to be made redundant a few years ago

Hey smokie ,great post but where is floriston? And superb track again

23:07 Just point and talk loudly about everything.

The minimum requirements in these videos are giving the names of the stations that the train passes through. This video does not give this info so is very poor

What country is this?

Me looking for who asked

troon trooooon

4:10 nice Rastafarian bust....Bob Marley would be proud!!

What the fuck's going on? It's been like 20 minutes already. This is LIRR in a nutshell.

Fun Fact: Women are almost always hired as a train cleaner (washing and scrubbing engine surfaces) before getting hired as an engineer / driver. Since females have smaller brain capacity / function, railways ensure they can handle basic chores before allowing for bigger responsibilities. The US has gender equality laws, and are no longer allowed to use this tried and true method to sift through women who are too moody or otherwise incapable of the complex tasks.

Good video. I think to do any job safely and effectively, you need a happy home life to give you stability but on the other hand, sometimes you need a job that you enjoy to give your life meaning, so in turn makes you happier at home which is what I need as my life at the moment is unsettled without direction.

Where this video you made?

Hunterston to Falkland Yard.

What was the class of locomotive? Looks like a rough and bouncy ride, at times...

Prefer it without the irrelevant and annoying 'music.'

22:07 Japanese be like: better be on time and less prepared (if you're 3 sec late, you're fked by your boss).

Finally uploading again

Most enjoyable!

Sadly, largely over grown now and mostly impassable.

Great video. A shame we couldn't get the bass sounds out of that engine start but it was good to hear nonetheless.

Clicked on this thinking this was a meme 🙃

I believe that this guy still reads comments, but doesnt reply because his name changed not long ago. This is the most precious account as it features loads of high quality videos of the Ayrshire coast before all the coal associated stuff shut.

Bus and coach drivers i would say are more professional. A lot more skills needed

Maybe longer if there is a Customs Post.

I did over 40 years as a train driver and was very glad to retire.... I'd had enough. You're correct about the job not being comfy and cosy... the railway owns you, even when you're off duty.... you have to be careful what you drink due to Company's Drugs and Alcohol policies, as set out by the Transport and Works act and you must always ensure that you have adequate rest before you commence your shift. Saturdays are just another day in the week of a job that runs 24/7. The job is one of huge responsibility, and offers almost unparallelled opportunities of making a complete and utter fool of yourself in the blink of an eye if you have the misfortune to get it wrong. Trains now have On Train Monitoring and Recording (OTMR).... this records everything you do onto a hard drive in real time....time/date, location, use of DRA, throttle settings, brake settings and pressures, speed, direction of travel, exactly where/when the brakes were applied....it even records if you sounded the warning horn... which tone and how many seconds... so there is truly nowhere to hide if you f**k up; f**king up also means you're tested for drugs and alcohol. Downloads of the OTMR are done routinely, and always after an incident... and if you f**k up and don't report it, you're in the sh1t, even if you are not the driver who the download was intended for... The job is hugely different to when I started my career way back in 1978... the only thing better on the modern railway is that the job is now well paid... but if you work on passenger trains on a busy network, as I did.... the work can be very intensive indeed. You are always being chased by Management to account for delays.... The job sure ain't cosy... and it definitely isn't for everyone.... it does help if you're interested in trains though...

Night shift is too much ,why they keep working just daytime .

Wow taking it back to when One tailway was around, i loved riding on those, especially the class 170 turbostars, loved the interior snd choice of livery😍

A good and important watch

1.19 the driver was quite dishy

Superb music that will still be felt as sublime by listeners 1000 years from now

The early starts put me off

You don't drive a locomotive, you operate or run it! Get it right.

What year is this from

Completely ruined by that horrible muzak! What were you thinking???? THUMBS DOWN

Yeah I would still drive train for transport for wales

Are you allowed to drink and drive.

That was a near miss just before 2 minutes!!

The train arrives at Newton-On-Ayr not Ayr

Driving a train is cool, but being the passenger is better.

23:20 But it's a habit for the Japanese in terms of safety, so why should it be?

Horseshit. Just get on with it. Duhhhhhh

Fast or fucking fast ohr whart

Could you id the varius station en route to Ayr. .

It is a two men job.. You build new modern trains for single driver like bus driver.. It is wrong!.. To be focus and aware all the time with all distractions you've mentioned accurate they have to be two.. They have to repeat out loud the signals (you suggest to speak out loud the signals alone but it is not allways helping).. If one loose focus and miss a signal the other one see it and say it out loud and they have to repeat it.. Even if he was lost it for a second he hear his colegue, repeat it loud and go on.. The chance to miss signal is almost none. If one is sleepy they swap. One goes to pee, other one is on!.. A human mind can easly loose it like surfing on internet just thinking. We are not robots. It is a two man job! Stop saving job places and build you trains and locomotives for two men..

It’s same as bus drivers

And if you’re forced to drive a class 66 on notch 8 for any longer period of time with a heavy load you will need to learn sign language at the end of the shift, if you’re able to get out at all. If you don’t work part time as a professional gymnast or yoga Instructor this is not guaranteed... 🤣 Once you’re in your seat and the volume is ok it’s an awesome loco though. Much better than an TMZ for instance.

i play train simulater 2020

LOVE this video. And good choice of music to match it.
