4:32 Sign says "Goods trains must stop here to pin down brakes". No kidding as it's a steep bank, even though few modern trains woud require this.

Thank you to the person who made this video. My father who you see in this video passed away in 2020. He worked from a young kid for over 50 years on the Railway. We miss him dearly and I'm sure he would be very proud to see himself at work.Thank you again.

Hello l, just wondering if it could be possible if I could some footage from this video for an upcoming video I'm doing for my channel, full credit will be given let me know what you think!

@tetragon2137 6 ай бұрын

Quick question, say you wanted the train to stop at Signal 3 or 4 for whatever reason, how would you signal that? 3 and 4 don't have Distants, so how does the signaller tell the driver to stop?

@NewBuildmini 5 ай бұрын

The distant applies to all the signals. It's only cleared when all the stop signals following it are clear. So if a driver sees the distant signal at "caution", he will slow down and assume the next stop signal will be at danger. If it turns out to be "clear", then he'll continue driving slowly until he comes to a stop at a signal, or passes the last signal (if all of them were clear, except for the distant).

I also remember that we arrived there quite a few times at Dover western Docks from Ostend by boat for holidays 😀and also for many Christmases in London with family. I loved that Dover Western station 😉very much, my mother 😍was from London and we lived in Ostend, we had quite a lot of family there in London. I have tears in my eyes that this is now all a thing of the past.😢Greetings from Ostend to the English 👍

Fantastic video of a unique part of British railway history! :D I was just wondering, would it be possible for me to use this footage as part of an upcoming documentary I'm creating about the history of the Class 73s?

Just before the Class 323 EMUs were introduced. Strange seeing the middle track at Stoke back then.

I was 8 then. Very good memories of the occasional slam door train turning up at Herne Hill. All sorts of different ones. Some without aisles even. Some with fancy compartments. Some with luggage cars (I hitched in on elf those once!).

I was an Apprentice Electric Traction Fitter when the 504 were first introduced and worked on the maintenance of them. I can just about make out my old work bench on the left hand side of the shed. I wish I had quid for every brake shoe I put on those, first job every morning when a new unit came for service was to go underneath in the pit and check the brakes and replace any worn out Brake shoes. Happy days.

I was an Apprentice Electrical Engineer Fitter at the Bury MPD when the 504 stock was first introduced and I worked on them for 3 years. They were a vast improvement on the original Electric trains from 1918 which were being used when I first started my Apprenticeship. The electronics were miniature compared to the old stock but much easier to work on and fault find. Many happy memories of working on them and I wish I had a quid for every brake shoe I changed on them!

Been to Wallgate station many times in the late 80s and 90s but don't remember ever seeing those brown and cream liveried Pacer's there. The only ones I ever saw running between Wallgate, Manchester and Southport, as well as from North Western between Wigan and Liverpool, were the regular orange and blue Pacer's. Also I don't remember seeing that class at 2:40 at Wigan.

@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw 8 ай бұрын

The Victoria boat train to Dover Western Docks probably wasn't perfect. Because of lack of investment it was a bit shabby. But it was a 1000x better than the messed up broken system that exists now. Excluding Eurotunnel and Eurostar, it is utterly ramshackle and cobbled together.
