As a Sarf Londoner I love South London’s railways best. What i enjoy about your drivers eye videos is where you point out and explain the signals,

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Part of the route rendered in wire frame in the Southern Belle computer game in the 80s - nice to see what it *really* looks like!

[@driverseyevideos]

I have to admit I did have to Google the game to see what it was like.

[@rmbflk]

@@driverseyevideos it was a long time ago!

[@Han-wh5ie]

Interessante en informatieve video

[@PGATProductions]

11:06 why is there a shunt signal?

[@internet123ism2]

Wasn't this area the busiest in the world at some point?

[@ianstevenson9844]

Just noticed they have demolished Balham Signal Box, is that correct?

[@driverseyevideos]

I believe the box was demolished a number of years ago, within the last decade.

[@ianstevenson9844]

@@driverseyevideos Thanks for that. I grew up in Tooting and used to watch the trains from the common. In later life commuted from Balham and Streatham Common. Lovely to the cab view.

[@ThamesNorth]

Where do you get a map of all the train names (Down Brighton Slow etc) from?

[@driverseyevideos]

Rail staff have access to the Network Rail Sectional Appendix and company route learning maps although the public can access the Sectional Appendix via the Network Rail website. Alternatively the quail maps are a good reference as well which you can find on Amazon

[@Jack_TA706]

can anyone please tell me what the 40|60 speed limit sign means

[@RumblefishCoversBand]

The lower speed is the speed limit for Freight trains.
