lift adventure in the towns around Birmingham

[@nelsonahlvik6650]

14:38 Quite a lot of kone M-Series lifts also have this system of strings holding the shaft vanes

[@crazyleyland5106]

I like your lift voice impressions. Most preserved railways are maintained as "light railways" which is why they have a maximum speed of 25 mph. The Severn Valley Railway is quite long actually, and in the summer season will have about 4 different engines pulling the trains. Although they're slow, preserved railways are much less expensive than main line rail tours. People also enjoy hearing the engines forging up hill with heavy trains.

Yeah redditch has a lot of car parks I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve never seen on top of the lifts and I would imagine that the doors that aren’t used on the last set of lifts are for a service area. Love your content

[@xxalexaviation]

You should go to Stourbridge next, to see the parry people mover

[@MaidaValeTom]

I’d recommend Shrewsbury, Very interesting spread across 3 shopping centres, all quite old, with 2 now abandoned/closed and all the tenants moved into the bigger one. Telford has the potential to be interesting although it’s not great, worth a visit though.

[@mohammedobeid2681]

Can you do a Update on Stratford

[@ypoora1]

Those 323 trains sound great, they remind me of our VIRM

[@SejLifts]

Very excited to watch this lift adventure!

[@xxalexaviation]

@beno i was at selfridges yesterday, and the cheap generic is boarded up now.

[@wisteela]

Great to see stuff from the area I used to live. I'd have taken that toy car. 🙂 I love that grass cow. 😁

House of fraser used to be Beatties in Solihull

[@tjw2806]

When your back here, check out the tower blocks in Birmingham, Druids Heath in particular. Some towers are completely empty round there and due for demolition soon.

[@unknown547]

I remember riding the old express lifts in Mell square in Solihull. It’s a shame to see it run down now.

[@joshlunt7827]

I've been to Wolverhampton Airport

[@scottsliftsX1]

I have been in them I am so glad you have been there there are so many lifts there honestly 40+ at Solihull

[@250piccadilly9]

7:25 this kinda looks like Salford Shopping Centre and Stretford Mall

[@geoffreyacquaah272]

Splendid video Beno

[@wclifton968gameplaystutorials]

Even though the "safety bicycle" was invented in the Midlands (Coventry to be specific), the midlands was infected with car-centric urban planning in the 1950s-2000s which is probably why there are so many multi-storey car parks. Also, at 22:00 that looks like a BR Class 06 Shunter so no wonder those heritage trains will be running so slowly 🙂, you need to also remember that maintenance of trains is very expensive, especially old steam and diesel trains of which there will be very few spare parts to use and it'd be unlikely for these heritage railways to engineer their own replacement parts and so there is no doubt that they purposely run heritage trains slower because the parts wear out more slowly which would then reduce maintenance times considerably...

[@crazyleyland5106]

It's a Class 20.

[@nazmerts1330]

Beno can you review istanbuls metro and tram system?

[@ReubenAshwell]

I don't understand why you don't like classical music, I think it's very calm and relaxing.

[@mainlandtoisland7260]

From longbridge Station you were travelling towards Birmingham City centre not reddich that's the other direction

[@jakewynn]

Shopping centre is Touchwood. Mel Square has always looked very spooky!

[@Alexliftswm]

In stourbridge there is a dover impulse

[@scottsliftsX1]

There is an Evans lift in Wolverhampton

[@williamsquires8010]

I think heritage railways are forced to stick to a very low speed limit by HSE and/or insurance. At least they still run at all, unlike aeroplane museums.

[@crazyleyland5106]

Almost all are maintained as "light railways" which have a maximum speed of 25 mph.

[@crazyleyland5106]

The Shuttleworth Collection is the exception, as most of their aeroplanes are airworthy. Duxford also has quite a number of airworthy planes as well.

@@crazyleyland5106 john lewis has old kone modded by otis

[@sleepythespian1455]

That 80's/90's Otis is extremely common in America.

[@fredstrainandbusvids.]

You should have gone to Telford and to the shopping centre - it’s got 1st generation EcoDisc

[@Andrewjg_89]

The West Midlands Trains Class 196 Civity DMU and Class 730 Aventra EMU should be in service later this year. With the Class 323 cascaded to Northern.

[@pjcnet]

Would still like to see if you can get in the BT tower (originally the Post Office tower) in Birmingham that I believe is now obsolete, if you managed that an even bigger challenge would be going down to the restricted area basement, I've heard rumours that it leads to a complex of underground tunnels below the city.

[@SamSitar]

what makes otis2000 different from other otis ifts?

[@whiskers8188]

in cheltenham, theres a car park at recently got abandoned; that led to a old lidl that is now the location of storage rooms. the lift and the car park are really creepy, if it even still works now. would be interesting to explore. the only problem is finding a way to get in
