Spot On Stan!!

Top filming Stan!!

Great videos by a true expert in his field 😊

i love 158s but wow shes very unwell old video tho is it

Carry on mate

I believe it was due to a person being too close to the track

2:40 HST jump scare

oh hey thats the only 3 car 158 that GWR has that isnt cursed

Maybe this'll finally prompt them to repaint it. It must be the last one still running in plain FGW blue mustn't it?

You actually have the gall to post this and question why you should move back?

Ahh! Yes! My friend went to a trainspotting location I recommended. It is near Caldecote Stables. And he nearly missed Flying Scotsman to a Pendolino.

oof boweld by a158

Always a bloody 158 😂 Would be a three car as well

This happens at Clapham Junction , London ( almost every minute of any day ! ! ) ..................... DAVE™🛑

Such a shame, damn the 158!! Nice to hear a bit of the old clagg as she pulls up the gradient Stan!!

F in the chat bro ;-;

Glad they are still spending money on 150s!

The driver thought you were too close. They were actually trying to help you out and look after. Don’t get so upset about it.

what’s more shocking is that there’s still a unit going about in FGW colours

Yeah you might be quite far enough from THAT train. What about one coming in the opposite direction?

Why is it in a debranded FGW?

It's the same for the midlands unfortunately, some of the class 350 desiros have lots of graffiti on them

Awsome video keep up the fantastic work cant believe they vandalism the class 150

Maybe just stand back a little bit to try and prevent the drivers from worrying that you might dart across right in front of them

i had that happen once with a 166 driver

Shouldn’t he of sounded the horn

Cool

In your original position you were classed as being ‘on or near the line’. As a civilian without Safety Critical ID or PTS you have no business standing there and you need to move for your safety. Foot crossings are for accessing the other side of the line and not stopping on, it doesn’t matter if 60% (or whatever you quoted) think the driver is overreacting, they are clearly not Train Drivers and he is, therefore his opinion trumps your uneducated viewers.

Because it’s abundantly clear you’re standing where you shouldn’t be. You spotters don’t help yourselves at all.

Trains can sneak up on you and if one passed you that close it could suck you in. I think the driver is just concerned for your safety, that's all. Have you seen the near miss at Thurston??

You've been told to get back as you are clearly passed the boundary poles. If I recall, there is no gate on that side of the crossing. Furthermore, if an unschedualed train was to come in the opposite direction (to which you have your back to), and it had an unsafe/loose load, then you are at risk of being struck. You're lucky all that the driver done was wave you away rather than report a near miss or a concern for welfare. Unfortunately, people who "think they know best" are the ones that get hurt. Please don't be another statistic and use common sense when enjoying your hobby.

The train driver is absolutely right. Slowing down was the only right thing to do here, because who knows how stupid people react near the tracks? Short-circuit actions are common, just the day before yesterday I experienced a 70-year-old trudging along a double-track line, ahead of the approaching train, in order to reach the train that was about to arrive on the platform behind it. And the train that was supposed to arrive at that platform was still 5 minutes late, which then turned into 7, so it was completely pointless.

I come from a American city and have seen many people get closer to the rails at crossings, trying to determine if they could be fast enough to get across safely, This is just to make sure that IF there was another train on the other rail you don’t do something stupid and harm yourself.

I loved the part where he told you to move back

You’re a bit close to the line. If a train comes the other way it could catch you off guard

Look at it from the drivers point of view. Who knows what people can do that close.

Silly to say that the Driver was “overrating”, when he was clearly thinking about your life. You were also standing too close to the line and not to mention traffic on the opposite direction could’ve cost you your life if you wasn’t paying attention… The “60%” who agreed with the Driver overreacting, would most likely get you killed by doing the same.

Thats a bit of silly thing to do.

Shame your not as close as you were in the first video, if you were you'd been hit

You are stood very close to a live railway, closer then needed and not in a position of safety as a result. so its not really that surprising to be asked to move back.

Sadly that crossing and the one at cockwood have seen a few decide it’s a place to end their lives. I regularly film / photograph between both crossings and can’t believe the amount that walk across aimlessly.

You WERE passed the boundary to be fair, and you may not have been paying enough attention if another train were to pass. Simple stuff

I loved the part when the driver told you to move back

I count see iut
