Oh, and why are there 3 tracks leading north up to Clay Cross? There was nothing on the third line all your video. England is so over-provided.
@andrewmcilwraith1997Ай бұрын
How many lines did the Midland Railway think they needed? Some of the route it looks like it used to be 8 tracks. The Midland coal trains chugging round with their 4-4-0s! Ugh boring! I used to live next to Chesterfield railway station. I wasted 3 years of my 20s - 3 years of my 20s - in Chesterfield. Can a hellhole be boring? Yes, Chesterfield. And you end up at Staveley! OK, Barrow Hill, but much the same. Actually I loved the crossing opening at the end. But Chesterfield was a big mistake - BIG!!!! They say that when you die you don't regret the things you did but only what you didn't do. They didn't spend time in Chesterfield! You can regret the things you did!

Yes, totally agree, anything interesting along the way, i.e. Stations, junctions, viaducts etc would make it even better. Still enjoyable.

I suppose it’s better to have sound (others may disagree) although it’s bears no relationship to the journey, as witnessed by AWS bells/buzzers going off with no relationship to the AWS magnets ~

I agree about the soundtrack. It's a shame because authentic audio adds a lot to the cab view experience. I guess it's better than total silence, as in some videos, but still a shame. Apart from that - good stuff.
@PaulWrightАй бұрын
whats up with the soundtrack? it sounds like its on a repetitive 2 minute loop. No AWS or horns at whistle boards, no sounds of passing trains or over pointwork. Sounds like its taken from a train simulator!! Just looked at your other videos and they all use the same soundtrack. I'm assuming this is due to operational restrictions?

Were you not whistling because it was after hours (summertime evening light), or does the soundtrack not match the actual video?
@ianhosier4042Ай бұрын
Same soundtrack on all videos, live would have been better, thumping music would have been way worse. I presume it is because of recording restrictions in the cab.

As a Melton Mowbray resident it was great to see this video footage from the Driver's cab passing through Melton Station etc. A railway line I've used many times. Great footage and you have a great selection of videos. Keep up the good work!

I remember in the 70’s it was rare to see 20’s at Wellingborough but would occasionally work into Finedon Road on a Coal Train on a Saturday morning in place of a 44 Peak. I see most bridges have gone or lined out and the Lever Boxes and Semaphores all gone too. The lines Midland character has gone as well. Progress.

Fascinating. I've travelled on the Thameslink line for many years and I keep figuring out new aspects of this freight line. I'm going to have to pay close attention to where the crossover is. I hadn't noticed that before! Interesting that the freight went on the slow line. I wonder if and when it crossed to the fast line further on...
@ADAMEDWARDS17Ай бұрын
Given TfL want to turn this into a passenger line, there will be plenty of work to do to get the speeds up to even say 60 mph. The other interesting issue is how they will then fit in a platform at Hendon for the trains to turn around. I don't know how busy the frieght lines are so will it simply be a 5th platform next to the down fast or will there need to be a turnback siding or platform off the frieght lines?
