[@harrymcandrew1447]

3:56 to 3:59 was that the siren trying to wind up while its spinning down but hasnt quiet been able to fire up

[@MichalM]

Correct.

[@F71Andrixx]

Or someone was messing with the control boxes

[@Andrewthefurrygoanimater2003]

1:13 nostalgia

[@sirenealerte85]

3:59 the siren to a little problem at startup she beugue a little

[@MichalM]

Also 3:56 and 4:04 the siren tries to run up.

[@F71Andrixx]

​@@MichalMI think that its faulty now

[@F71Andrixx]

I need to visit this one EDIT: this one is the only one thats reverse-wired

[@Vigilance108]

be my guest, I don't live in the UK

[@MichalM]

All of the sirens have been decommissioned and no longer work, unfortunately.

[@F71Andrixx]

@@MichalM but i think this one's still there i searched on google maps and it was still here! (location: Chalpans hill's 20 yes it was 2023 google)

[@F71Andrixx]

@@Vigilance108 sure🤣🤣🤣

[@Cvtrdx]

I remember living in crowthorne and hearing this was scary! I've always wanted to know what it's like in Broadmoor

[@MichalM]

It's a very high security area, so lots of fences, locked doors, and security guards. What would be interesting to see is how they activate the sirens from the hospitsl control room. I have tried to arrange this but they declined It. Edit: With regards to the siren, it's the last one left being tested. It sounds amazing, don't you think?

[@MichalM]

@UNIX Man Someone else mentioned that to me the other day, I wonder if the sirens feature in that?

[@MichalM]

@UNIX Man Very interesting - thanks for the info!

[@MichalM]

@UNIX Man The people that are in there are dangerous. They should keep the sirens and maintain them properly, so that members of the public are aware of an escape. I do wonder what the hospital control room looks like though.

[@RoadCone411]

I lived in Crowthorne too - the sirens never scared me as long as it was Monday 10AM. It’s when they went off at a random time that was a little scary, people sort of closed up their homes.

[@Vigilance108]

Status: still in place

[@MichalM]

Yay! Any videos?

[@Electronicsandsirens]

That’s great! Do you know if it’s still being tested?

[@F71Andrixx]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@MichalM]

@@Electronicsandsirens I believe it is only being silently tested.

[@Vigilance108]

I saw a couple of pictures taken not too long ago

[@hmsirensandfirealarms]

4:12 sounds like Siren C in Carstairs. I remember recording it and iit sounded like that

[@F71Andrixx]

Agreed.

[@crazyleyland5106]

I don't know of any other sirens that made a hi lo noise.

[@MichalM]

All the other broadmoor sirens played the hi-low tone when they were in use, and there is still a Klaxon CS8 at a Solutia site which plays the hi-low tone.

[@pretzsaetern3777]

How come I heard when the run down starts I hear the high tone shutter stuck open then it shut

[@MichalM]

There was a fault. This siren is now being scrapped, along with the rest of the system.

[@ASTRO-dr4nu]

@@MichalM sad ain't it

[@MichalM]

@@ASTRO-dr4nu Very sad yes, especially as they didn't maintain them in the first place. :(

[@TriStateRailfan]

Is Siren G still there as of today?

[@MichalM]

Not sure, I imagine it is though.

[@TriStateRailfan]

@@MichalM I do want to contact someone about a purchase of that siren. I would keep it there privately and pay someone to maintain and run it for the weekly.

[@harrymcandrew1447]

@@TriStateRailfan i think thats the only siren they've kept with the surrounding area ones being removed

[@F71Andrixx]

​@@MichalM its still there in 2023

[@F71Andrixx]

​@@TriStateRailfan Yeah they dont want to remove ot because its the main hospital siren

[@perhaps3990]

It’s sad for how long they have been used for and they are all gone Carstairs : older sirens and still work

[@al66class59]

I think Carstairs sirens are a little bit younger. Secomak logo is more modern than that on the control boxes for the broadmoor sirens

[@MichalM]

Indeed it's a shame they're being decommissioned.

[@MichalM]

@@al66class59 I agree.

[@F71Andrixx]

@@al66class59 yeah i agree too!

[@MichalM]

It's being removed whenever they get access to the tower. As far as I'm aware it's still there.

[@ivybesmonte2577]

Is this siren going to be removed? This is my favourite siren!

[@MichalM]

Not as far as I'm aware.

[@MichalM]

Yes it will be.

[@Vigilance108]

3 years later its still in place but not operational

[@F71Andrixx]

@@Vigilance108 if i get my hands on its control boxes i will turn it running (or at least try because its faulty now)

I don't know why but,i loke broadmoor siren 😑

"Like" and btw i like them too

[@kierantaboryt7827]

Wow wonder what fault could make it try wind up when its not meant to. /:

[@MichalM]

Not sure, it could be anything.

[@Vigilance108]

probably bird nests

[@philno]

possibly cross talk on the old degraded po lines

[@Jeagles]

Are it or any others still around?

[@MichalM]

This is the only Broadmoor siren still tested. Siren F is still on its tower, but it has been decommissioned.

[@AnimalAnimeLover]

some have been removed

[@MichalM]

@@AnimalAnimeLover Correct! Sirens A, C, D, E, H, I, J (maybe), and L have been removed. All the others are still there as far as I'm aware.

@@MichalM thank you :)

I haven’t got any more spare Mondays :( I probably won’t see these running myself- ever. Shame I picked two weeks they didn’t work 😭
