DB & COLAS Operated TANKS SETTING BACK across the MAINLINES to and from Kingsbury Oil Sidings!

[@romac9516]

Pretty cool to see the tankers snaking into the sidings

[@jamesburnside3023]

Excellent video well done

[@daviddarrall9384]

Some patience needed there! 😊 UK.

[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Excellent video 👍

[@teamtrains]

Amazing video 👍

[@BritishRail60062]

Nice filming of these in action. Seems like the normal Class 66's are more than capable for this working.

[@glynngriffith3044]

I See 6M57 Today at Nottingham

[@JohnDuncanPeacock]

The Midlands will not run out of fuel this weekend.

[@alexalston3001]

So many flats on the wheels.. are these sets ever maintained?

[@tomedy_official]

13:36 That shouldn't be right, the cross contry sould have been 5 mins later

[@epj900]

What sort of weight are these trains??

[@trainsplanes]

The southbound loaded is pathed at 3200 tonnes 👍

[@MegaThrashRailwayFilms]

just wondering, what camera do you use?

[@trainsplanes]

It’s a Panasonic HC-VXF1 👍

[@MegaThrashRailwayFilms]

@@trainsplanes thanks!

[@richardbarber8023]

No banks man I understand saying stop train coming wount be herd by 66 driver but surely health and safety says a chap with radio be better ? Just in case ???

[@cookn01]

Surely they can travel at a greater speed than that?

[@davidfurmage618]

No. 3mph propelling within a yard but you can speed up a bit beyond there. But not much as there isn't much room to the limit of shunt board at the back.

[@BROOMEngineeringTMIET]

Well that looked and sounded quite sketchy!

[@trainsplanes]

It’s a well versed procedure and likely well trained in for those involved 👍

[@cd66061]

Why sketchy? Move is planned in. Driver signs the route and yard. Driver drives to correct stopping points, works to signals and Groundstaff instructions to propel (reverse) as per company or site safe system of work. Any train working in or out will have the use of the track for however long it takes, no other train can enter that section due to signalling systems until clear to do so.

[@stuartpaulandrews]

That manoeuvre appeared to take a long time. I’ve been stuck on a train between Tamworth and New Street while one of these was performed. Very annoying for the passengers on board.
