@@ianmclaughlan sad news indeed - if memory serves correctly it was a 24 hour charity event where he played for 24 hours non-stop (comfort beaks etc allowed)

On the B & M site

Opposite the multi story car park ,Newton Rd.

When was this Loco withdrawn? Because I am sure I have seen it at Liverpool Lime St, back in the day. I have worked on The Railway for over 30 years.

what was the other 86 that was the lead engine on the train I forgot it now

@@stephensmith4480 - I think it was withdrawn around 2002 and I believe it suffered from a traction motor failure, however It may have been one of the few restored and made it to Bulgaria. Many of the 86/2 loco's had transformer issues with overheating, so the best ones, or the loco's that had transformer replacements were saved from the scrapheap. I remember during hot summers, when driving from the DBSO end, we would open the windows, wedge the cab & engine compartment doors open to allow air to blast through in an attempt to cool them down. They were real greenhouses on wheels on a hot day.

@@bridgerectifier7711 Many thanks for that information my friend. Yes I can appreciate the overheating problem. When you are combining high voltage, along with high amperage, the heat generated can be staggering. I`m not sure how cooling was achieved on large transformers of this type. some large transformers are Oil cooled, with fan assistance. The 86 was a great loco, even the 86/6 freight loco. I remember the last days of the 85s before the last of them were withdrawn, we still got the odd one working Car trains from Garston. Happy days.

Did know my dad ray king

the question is how many you remember - get the old grey cells working :)

125mph is slow?

@@JimbobsTransportVideos yes when comparing to the might of France and Germany.

@@colinscotland2887- Roll on HS2!

@@johnwebster3224 HS2 should have been to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen or Scotland should find it's own high speed railway service.

Where was this filmed as i would like to trainspot Here It lookes nice

And the inquest found a number of drivers had passed by previously without reporting the fault. As I say to people when training them (not rail related), don't assume someone else will do it. If you know it's not as it should be, then it's your responsibility to resolve the situation (notify / fix etc etc), but never walk on by. I have a number of examples I use and this is one of many accidents (sadly) were someone else would do it.

correct

You can’t expect tv news to get everything right, come on!

my dad was at work at the time at the station and some others that I know or did as some are long gone rip to them

There were trackworks and a speed limit was in force.but the oil-lamp illuminating the limit-sign had gone out and the train driver continued driving at normal line-speed, causing a derailment.

@@None-zc5vg true plus the crew in the the first loco did not know the road as well as should of done cant remember where 86242 brook down needing a tow and new crew that did not know about p way speed limit sorry about spellings
