The Railway - Keeping Britain On Track : Summer Madness (S01E02)

[@macrent2]

The British always make the best documentaries.

[@IncredulousIndividual]

McCall friend, is televised series many episodes

@@IncredulousIndividual do you mean Friends?

[@jessicawatson7360]

Yes, so many on YT.

[@MissCattitude63]

I like Jason. He has a marvelous outlook on life. If everybody was like Jason, we wouldn't have to deal with so much crap.

[@Joshrowlands32]

Yeah I love Jason I wish all train drivers were like him

[@TJC01]

Yeah but we would all look and be the same

[@christydowns783]

If I was the train company, I'd bill the council for the delays caused by flooding due to the drains not being properly maintained

[@Ace_Larrakin]

Does anyone else come back to this series every few months? I can't seem to get enough of it.

[@terrystephens1102]

Big shout to the BTP who do a fantastic job under very challenging circumstances- you’re so professional 😃👌👌👏👏👏❤️

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

Only in Britain would you hear the words "yeah, but it would be a good funeral, he's a great lad" spoken by a friend talking about their mate who just had a lucky escape after falling onto a track in a drunken state. Love that driver's attitude to life, wish more people shared his view.

[@Joshrowlands32]

Exactly!

[@YourLocalGP]

The whole series is beautifully shot, honestly edited and comes across as thoroughly genuine. This episode in particular was very heart-wrenching.

[@georgemacpherson1992]

Saw that information desk guy and his brother eidris today at Leeds train station.

[@caroline812]

Really enjoyed this series. Who would have thought a programme about railways could be so good!?

[@Doodledoo92]

someone who has worked for Network rail as a signal engineer i saw people get hit and the aftermath.... you never hear about the drivers they are the worst effected think about others when you think about walking across the line

[@jpdfive]

think it was explained best on The Tube (2002) when they explained in great depth. you never consider the driver can feel the bump as they drive over a human being, with no control. Cant imagine first hand

[@tomp6792]

Funnily enough I saw Jason yesterday at Manchester Piccadilly and Preston (he'd got on the train I got between the two, at least I believe he did).

[@williamschlich8389]

"All i need is some popcorn" 😂

[@limeyosu2000]

Great show thank you for upload narrated by Lewis !!

[@jacksdjfam]

Neville you mean

[@Bobs2cents]

I cannot imagine having to absolutely ruin that mother’s life by telling her that her child has been killed so brutally. I’d feel like sludge after that.

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

I appreciate how the producers handled that whole thing with respect and dignity... That kind of incident is something you can never prepare for and you could tell that officer was dreading doing it and was putting on a brave face but it was not his first either.

[@Angelqueue]

Bless the members of staff. Having to deal with shite customers!

[@Jwnewall]

33:00 not all drunk people are horrible, this one just makes me smile :D

[@deadchannelpleaseignore6833]

this is a normal documentory for people but for me, I remember some of these people, I remember this summer,

[@dbdrdbag]

Many thanks for the re-upload. You have done a great job!

[@garethhelliwell9736]

Watching in 2020 and can't ever imagine a train that packed ever again 🙁

[@kyles1399]

It happens I got on one to derby 3 weeks ago it was rammed as they only put 2 carriages on it was like sardines in a can

[@Ace_Larrakin]

12:05 "I can't leave here, they're all leaning against the side of train" Can anyone tell me what accent that would be, cause I absolutely love it.

[@Hazzar595]

Certainly Yorkshire, I can't be more specific than that though

[@roythearcher]

@@Hazzar595 East Lancashire!

[@jacksdjfam]

West Yorkshire by the sound of it. 'On side a train' is definitely a west Yorkshire way of talking

[@jessicawatson7360]

Yeah defo Yorkshire.

[@johnmichaelpierce8652]

I work at Wakefield Westgate station. It really is amazing how stupid people (especially to London ) can be.

Great video Paul & Rebecca. Exceptional still shots of the bottom of the vent shafts. Keep them coming.

[@trainspotteruk7599]

Wow, the old Manchester Victoria. Not a nice sight but a bit of nostalgia.

[@SiVlog1989]

I travelled to and from Leeds station recently and compared to the horror stories painted by some, there were no problems with my journeys.

[@BramowitchIII]

Doing a great job. Cheers!

[@CSGuju]

Excellent series!

[@matthewcairns3988]

Love this series it's EPIC

[@mattvezz]

Jason is probably the most laid back driver ever... but what a legend

[@MrBiggzVlogs]

My close friend was hit by a train. Rest his soul 😭

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

It either needs a very high solid fence, or an electric fence.

[@georgemacpherson1992]

Doug Borrett How would you know if this is filmed in England

[@themidlandconnection]

i sort of hope we get a nice episode of some of britains preserved lines in this series :)

[@prodigalretrod]

If they just didn't let people on the trains when they were pissed, surely they wouldn't have this problem. But I guess they put up with it because it's good revenue. Not really fair to other passengers though.

[@oskarjarlemark302]

Profit is probadly one reason, but drunk driving is illegal the drunks might Need someone to drive them. Public Transit Staff really provide a vital social service gettin these buggers home safely, and I wish they wouldnt have to.

[@fetchstixRHD]

@@oskarjarlemark302: Indeed, better to have them on trains/buses (where for the most part, they’re only a danger to themselves) than on the roads, where they’re likely to harm other people. Of course, it would be better for people not to get that drunk in the first place (and I think you can get rejected if you’re too drunk) but that’s probably too much to expect! I’d even argue that even assuming they pay their fares, they’re still a overall loss in dealing with, taking into account the delays they cause and all...

[@jessicawatson7360]

@@fetchstixRHD yes you can be removed from the train/station if you seamed unable/unsafe to travel.

[@gaoeykreg]

Christ these programmes make me ashamed to be a train commuter sometimes haha. Just tossers everywhere thinking they should be a priority.

At 8:48, I would be very happy with driving the trains on Saturday!

Such a hard job having to break such tragic news to a parent that their child has died. Chokes me up just typing about it.

[@janverkoren8516]

This guy, I think his name is Mark, but he is quite the agressive dude with his: "we should just run over tresspassers" and: "cablethieves getting electrocuted is nice and sweet vengeance."

[@manomaylr]

9:45 goodness, that's uncensored and a half!

[@SamSitar]

did you see the prankster walking up the down escalator?

[@jacksdjfam]

Why do we pay out compensation for delays caused by weather? No wonder fares are so high

[@williamg209two]

24:37 per police officer has a tik , saying you know when hes in such a state

[@ProducerCliff]

I agree with the guy at 14:28 - run them down. UK is too much of a nanny state. I'm glad I don't live there, the places I live are sensible, they would just say 'tough, you shouldn't be in the track' and when other countries arrest people for crimes they go to jail for years, not a few days or nothing at all.

[@firestarteronyoutube5542]

45:24 "not my train of the week" if we had to go off this thing's service history, it wouldn't even be train of the hour

[@Doctorrayify]

When people get hit, thats natural selection at work. Those teens deserve Darwin awards.

You do have to wonder, the mainline from Leeds to London is blocked and then send three guys with shovels to try and fix it....Insane send a proper team with proper tools !

[@georgemacpherson1992]

Mainly baised in and around Leeds with the excpetion of a few minutes worth of footage at other stations is episode is filmed

[@MorganMcLenton]

Great!

[@SiVlog1989]

Manchester Victoria station looks so much better since this was filmed, no wonder some people I know refer to it as the "St Pancras of the north"

[@bencarter2841]

I didn't look that bad. Look like a typical British station...

[@erich1070]

what's the track playing at 45:30?

[@chocmonster]

Soooo much better than episode 1… 3D characters!

[@stanpatterson5033]

Jeeez. I think maybe Netwank Rail should change their policy on refunds where the weather has been the major contributing cause. Yes, obviously, drains should be cleared BEFORE flooding becomes an issue, but as the maintenance workers explained, it's often someone else's blockages that are the true problem. I'd imagine that the root cause is often found to be external to the railroad's responsibilities.

[@MissCattitude63]

About tresspassers: If they are adult, they know the dangers. If they are kids, only the parents are to blame. Why spend so much money on idiots and drunks? Let them do whatever they want, it's nobody's fault but their own (or their parents). Nobody should have to pay tax or astronomical amounts for a train ticket to protect idiots. The only thing is that it's very traumatic for the drivers and the people who have to scrape guts of the rails... that's life with idiots, I guess.

[@declancairns2083]

I don't agree with the kids part, the drunks and adults even still, I wouldn't want anyone dying even if they are to blame.

[@vorn29]

Declan Cairns No sane person wants to see anyone die but commonsense must prevail. Even as a kid I knew not to play on the railways. Nothing to do with being goody goody. People are not that stupid so as not to know the dangers, even at 15. Why build vast fences to keep them out. The tragic part is their own stupidity. The old message rings true. Don`t go on the lines. Simple.

[@declancairns2083]

Vorn Field I agree, was not a play on the tracks lad but same logic applies

[@sammy7388]

Declan Cairns u can't control trespassers if they get hit it's there fult

[@jessicawatson7360]

It really that simple, you can’t always know where a teen is however good thief parents are.

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

I suppose the people who keep trespassing no matter how often they get told, eventually get killed and only *that* stops them.
