Derailment at Exeter

[@formidable38]

@lchampeny7nrr It was inside an engineering possesion during the night. The up and down changes in that area and there was a misunderstanding between the driver and signaller. The train was then propelled back through an open catch point. The driver involved has also been involved in 2 other SPADS over the last few months so will probably be looking for another job by now.

[@SpoonyMcSpoonface]

Was the driver an extreme member of the Branch Line Society? He can now colour in that catch point 😆

[@allan5919]

Great close up video of the derailment. Thanks for sharing!

[@swearingkevo]

i like the way you caught a train just to film this......

[@Cubbyrover]

Thanks for sharing. I wonder how they will recover it?

[@robertgift]

Well done video! What caused the derailment? Thank you.

[@Mr.NeilOfficial]

idk

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

I believe the class 66 was going too fast on the bank and then clipped the catch points causing it to slid off the track mate

[@zikiziki4531]

Divno 💖💖💖

[@LordV8boy]

Nice video, liking the on train announcement you got too!

[@samsquires319]

Dude really high quality upload... But how?

[@TransportCambs]

I've seen that 66 very recently.

[@Dazzin65]

I think you will have to re-write this post : 1. The train was not being propelled. 2. The Driver of this train had not had " 2 other Spads" over the last few months , not that this "mis"- information needed to be posted in the first place

[@MisterstereoOso]

How the Fcuk, does this appear in my feed 7 years later ?

[@armoricain]

You mean EIGHT years later!!! Wondering the same thing!

[@counterraidz6245]

woah FGW pacers

[@ashtonpowell309]

there are 20 cargo cars at the end of the derailed train (Yes i counted them)

[@Crewecabking]

What caused it to derail

[@rustynuts4426]

Too many announcements on trains and stations these days. I wear ear plugs

[@1ns4ne1d10t]

I hate 66's too, I work down at Southampton docks in the eastern and western docks and all you ever see is the class 66 EWS and freightliners coming in. Its a pig ugly locomotive and it makes a horrible engine noise its got no character to make it noticeable its just 'A train'. Unlike class 37's and 31's its not a loco you would ever look twice at and notice.

[@corrieclips7385]

My home town was on that announcement

[@corrieclips7385]

@I'LL BE BACK ! is this a joke because it isn’t funny

[@corrieclips7385]

@I'LL BE BACK ! my home town as in ANDOVER was on that announcement and I’m not a student

[@corrieclips7385]

@I'LL BE BACK ! no you can’t

[@corrieclips7385]

@I'LL BE BACK ! because I’m not a student

[@julang_cakep]

nice train👍

[@stevenbanaan]

did i hear the announcing saying templecompe?

[@fletch61]

Templecombe

[@chrishines6048]

Oops I don't think that was part of the plan

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Here in the States we would say that the 66 is "on the ground." Never a good thing to see.

[@nlo114]

In UK it is sometimes referred to as an 'Earth-Fault'.

[@ashbridgeindustries]

I say the poor chap lost his balance!

[@michaelcampin1464]

And yet another Amtrak derailment this week

[@Aaron.56_]

The fat controller was not impressed

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

God that announcer is fast lol

[@peter4249]

50/5000 :: AND THAT ONLY WITH ABSENT MAINTENANCE AND STAFF

[@lchampeny7nrr]

When u do more vids can u please do announcements from South West Trains I really like there announcements. Thank you.

[@lchampeny7nrr]

No I mean train announcements in SWT e.g We are now arriving at Southampton Central.

[@TheAussieBusman]

Atleast you can hear and understand them, on Cityrail around Sydney Australia the general announcments on the trains pretty much sound like there spoken from far up somebody's ass after they've had a hot curry, then with some on the stations there fine where other's you get that high pitched note the kind that sends a shiver down your spine through your ear that nails on a chalkboard kind of note. People hate it so on most trains the volume is turnt right down to barely hearable

[@leftmid18]

ive got that class 66 in model lol but that never derails lol

[@thetrainguy19yt39]

*TOO MANY PACERS!*

[@lchampeny7nrr]

[@ghostygaming32]

[@dominicdinosaur]

@@swtrains1499, not for much longer, all 8 class 143 'Pacer' DMUs are leaving GWR for the franchise update and wheelchair accessibility laws coming in early 2020

[@swtrains1499]

@@dominicdinosaur Yeah, fair shout. Although I don't actually mind them. It'll be sad to see them go for me.

[@dominicdinosaur]

Same for me really....

[@herbert9241]

I saw that.

[@fletch61]

Bloody student flats !

[@1ns4ne1d10t]

I can't stand the noise the EMD engine makes it sounds all squeaky and cranky like its either rusty or its got a loose running fan belt because the turbocharger is geared to spin at the same speed as the engines RPM and it sounds horrible. They sound like washing machines when the engines RPM rises enough to release the turbo to spin off the exhaust gasses. Horrible locomotives I can't stand the things!

[@drewwarwick3030]

i live in exeter

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

UK Trains which part of Exeter do you live Exeter st davids or st Thomas or central

[@dominicdinosaur]
