When you were in the loop between Channelsea and High Meads that signal cleared incredibly quickly after the North London train overtook you.

For those of you who haven`t seen these two class 20`s in BB livery, which I think???? is known as the drain train, it is currently based at Welwyn Garden City and has been for the past few months.

Stupid question - where did the authority to proceed come from? I don't see an applicable signal. Not a driver, but interested. Was it verbal? Thank you.
@southcalder 17 күн бұрын
I assume that’s a Mobile Operations Manager that can be seen in the Cess at the start of the video. He is likely acting as the liaison with the signaller, hence his checking of the mainline signal. The siding the loco came from is what is sometimes known as a Defective Wagon Siding (or Cripple Siding - not a PC term these days, so usage is dying out), and they rarely have exit signals. In fact, I was surprised to see this one had powered points as they are often some of the last places you’ll find a lever frame. Anything in the siding will be given verbal authority by the signaller (or other competent person, such as a ground frame operator) to proceed to the next lineside signal, and then obey all further signals, or in this case, pass the wrong direction position light that can be seen (on the right after the changing of ends), change ends and then proceed.

@@southcalder Thank you very much for your reply. You answered a couple of other questions I had too, so thank you! With the local ops manager in the cess but no lever frame could that mean that maybe those point out of the siding are locally controlled and the signaller controls everything else? or is the local ops manager just there as a safety barrier and ease driver workloads?

I really enjoyed the video, but it would have been helpful to have captions showing information such as each station passed, the location, tunnels and their length, as well as any other relevant information. But that was a nice journey. I wish I could have been in the cab, it would have been more enjoyable.

The cab noise does not relate to this video. From the thumbnail it’s a pair of 20s but the sound is more like a peak at not much more than tickover. The only one of his with real sound to my knowledge was Hounslow to Acton.

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!

@PaulWright 4 ай 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?
