I remember when they singled this track in the 80s and it immediately causing a huge bottleneck, and now they've had to spend millions to re-double it. Amazingly short-sighted penny pinching.

Good film. Nice memories of when I worked at the Area Civil Engineer, Crewe. I recall various spots come to mind on this route.

Noticed there is a lack of signals along the route is that normal?

@russellward9287 Жыл бұрын

It depends on the frequency of trains along a route. More trains,more signals (sections). Less trains, less signals.

Crewe, Nantwich & Wrenbury is very much my home part of the world (my roots). Nice to see the fine signal box at Wrenbury station still in situ in the film at that time. Was it demolished or did some heritage line take it?

@fatwalletboy2 Жыл бұрын

Always like to watch where catenary finishes and here its a fair distance from Crewe. Wonder why they wired that far out.....did ACs ever get up that line to the linits?

@worldhighspeedtrainconquer6785 2 жыл бұрын

Class 350 is a great train. It maybe look like it’s normal commute train. But the maximum speed nearly reached 200km/h speed.

Is there a PSR on this line. Could the train go any slower?. Why a DMU under the wires?

@StuAnderson90 2 жыл бұрын

because towards Shrewsbury, Aberystwrth/Pwhelli and Holyhead aren't electrified so they must have a DMU. Particularly some routes are prone to flooding or is close to a sea of some kind meaning it is not practical to do so. You can argue now have bi mode which the Class 799s are but particularly they have to have in cab signalling ETCS which also makes it harder. The class 158's (which this was filmed from) will go and replaced by Class 197's based on the WMR Class 196 units. I hope it helps.

@StuAnderson90 2 жыл бұрын

and the line speed is up to 100mph from Adderley park (the first station we pass) however out of New st on all lines in 10mph through the station and then up to 30 - 50mph depending on which line your on, moreover because the camera is zoomed in it makes it seem a lot slower than it is in real life.

All those lovely transitions from straights to curves and back to straights... is it only me who loves the geometry of rails? Sure wish we could have DMUs that would allow passengers that same view over the shoulders of the driver... like the first generation DMUs!

I'm new to this and have questions. How much driving does the train driver actually do? Is it all computerized these days?

@russellward9287 4 жыл бұрын

The driver is in full control of this train.

@emily1 2 жыл бұрын

All of it. Computerization has mainly been used for systems to assist the driver and for safety. Train management systems, radio equipment, passenger info systems etc. While there are plenty of safety systems that have been improved and implemented and what not, the train is moved and monitored by the driver themself with the assistance of safety systems and train to signaller contact.
