Brighton to Barnham

Route learning video, Brighton to Barnham along the West Coastway

[@randyboone]

I'm a retired NYC subway motorman (30yrs service) This was a very informative well shot video. Thanks for explaining the "Down", "Level", "Up" indications on the bottom left of screen. Only item I couldn't figure out on my own. Good job from NYC.

where Morrisons is just before Worthing station used to be the Hall and co coal yard coal came from Wales by train we would unload it by hand into bags then take it out for delivery

All those red lights are painful! Still quicker than a number 700 bus though :)

Only just!

A pleasant video to watch. Interesting signal explaining makes its more enjoyable. Cheers mates! 😊

[@orcams15lf71]

I love these train driver views. Mostly when I see the areas I travel through.

[@SlapTheMonkey100]

Thank you for this video. I wanted to see where a secret path was going, round the back of brooklands and you showed it.

[@stevenbrucci]

Thanks! I saw that Hove Tunnel on google maps and thought "I wonder what THAT'S like."

[@Spiderwebsider]

The longest night: finished work, drove the A1M from Tyneside, got dropped off at Redbridge tube. Underground to Victoria, train to Brighton, then last train to Worthing. Fell asleep, woke up at Barnham. No trains back to Worthing for 4 hours. Not much to do in Barham at 1:30am, and this was long before the iphone. Too cold to sleep, so spent the time shivering while staring at an empty platform. Happy days.

[@chrisperyagh]

Barnham is always a desolate place to end up as it's neither here nor there (I've both lived and went to school there). I've lost track the amount of times I've had to wait for connections at Barnham when coming from either Chichester or Worthing or elsewhere to go to Bognor in the cold and rain and sometimes just given up and got a taxi home when it turns out there's a delay or the train has been cancelled.

[@marvinkennebeck8237]

Very well done and informative.

[@richardwoods5873]

The gradient markers are not at all obvious. Travelling on that route, one would have thought it level all the way; it just goes to show!

Real nice run.

I do remenber I used to live close to that bridge (02:58) [ Montefiore Road ] at the 106 Highdown Road - Hove in 1979. I could heard from my room the trains leaving Brighton to Barnham

[@numbersguy6099]

Really good video - thanks for posting. Pardon my ignorance, but what does the "OCC" mean in "Brook Lane OCC"?

[@andrewbrown6786]

It stands for “Occupational Crossing” - usually associated with LC’s that access farms or parts of a farm, but sometimes peoples homes.

[@AndreiTupolev]

is that in a 313 I suppose? Nice sound accelerating.

[@andrewbrown6786]

Yes, it’s a 313, it’s the sound of DC Motors, or it could a 507/508 which are just DC only versions of the 313. Not hearing the Dynamic Brake very clearly, so not sure if it has been switched out.

Dreadnaught were you wearing your glasses at the time...? ;-)

[@borisVspider66]

I live 15 yards from Worthing station crossings, please have a word with your signalmen, most are utter lazy uncompromising bastards.. they put the gates down before trains even leave west Worthing (proven) & close Worthing gates before trains even arrive westbound into Worthing Central station.. I always know when a conscientious signalman is on duty because they will actually raise the gates for a minute if possible to alleviate the pain for motorists & especially pedestrians where possible, the others are bastards who just cannot be arsed. As someone who gets stopped at these barriers 8 time out of 10 (not an exaggeration) I know what I am talking about. The fact that both Worthing & West Worthing are amongst the very worst crossings in the country means that Network rail should be breathing down therre necks to deal with both timetable & crossing delays expediantly & without the carefree attitude that most employ.. nice video though so thanks for that lol. Yours Mr Angry

[@timdaugherty5921]

What is the furthest outside rail for? we dont see that much here in USA

[@ed731pdh]

750v DC traction supply.

[@ianbaxter8299]

Apart from street cars and your new high-speed services, you have mostly diesel hauled traffic in the USA, because most of it's heavy freight that electric couldn't cope with. Imagine the load on local supplies of a 1/2 mile long 6 loco train! In the UK, the old Southern Region was, from before WW2, mostly 3rd rail electric with overhead catenary for some of the special bits like the Chunnel lines. Some rolling stock is equipped to handle both kinds of supply, and in London where the line starts in a main line terminus north of the Thames, in The City or West End, where the powers supposed to be overhead, the ground level 3rd rail system still prevails. Just to further confuse us, London Underground tube trains use a 4 rail, 2 live system, patterned after US-style "Elevateds" and the DLR metro uses a single shielded live conductor that's a couple of feet off the ground, and not really a rail at all. Wait till they start bringing trams and trolley buses back to London like Manchester, then we'll see even more confused rail fans! Remember, we invented all this madness, and we've had longer to create the wonderful SNAFU that is British Rail.

[@markcf83]

Why didn't they schedule this better? It should have run behind an express service.....

[@jonathankenward849]

What’s the down 1 in what ever number it is

[@01T30]

The gradient of the track

[@barbarawaterfield6840]

For every one foot (or yard or metre) up (or down) you go whatever it is feet (or yard or metre) along. Thus for every foot up at 1in in 100 you go 100 feet along. 1 in 100 is 1% in the other notation.
