The Third Sam

[@NeilSpellings]

Great video! Never knew David Cameron used to be a train driver!

[@NewBuildmini]

It's Paul Tyreman, he's almost in all modern BR/NR videos.

Worked on those old 63's for years, and the old CEP's too, faithful old things. Only ever failed once with a flashover in the line switch. Happy days. Still miss them now, and the old motors growling then singing along as you went faster.

[@FishbedMyBeloved]

Good

[@ChangesOneTim]

The 1963s and similar vintage SR units were good, honest, English Electric traction.

[@dodgydruid]

Weren't the CEP's the most powerful of all the SR units once the Portsmouth express units were broken up? I remember my father telling me of the old GRI's etc which were demolished at Hoo Junc yard and the traction motors used for the BIG's and REP's for the express Bournemouths. Me old man was lifelong SR signalman who worked much of his life on lines where the CEP did roam. I remember being in a cab on a Dover express and the driver telling me the best setup was the 12 CEP plus one MLV as the formation was 13 coaches but the power including the MLV was for 16 cars making the trains very sprightly on the pullaway and up hills.

After doing shunting work on the railway for many years. Many times I had to go a rescue units this had broken down.

[@binyu2374]

It’s beautiful to see so much effort put into a training video back then whereas these days we just computer image one and be done with it

[@NewBuildmini]

Is the driver in beginning Paul Tyreman? He is so similar.

[@StewFisher]

yep, it was in the credits

[@andrewjames1982]

Think Paul plays the 2nd Sam

[@PottersVideos2]

@@andrewjames1982 I think he plays the First and Third Sam as well!

[@meme1millionyearsago673]

He is

[@grassytramtracks]

And the female passenger was Claire

[@paulfischer5750]

The original is a wonderful piece of history now, Stanley Holloway and all! We used to use it at LT's training centre as part of driver training - and a bit of light relief. I would love to find it.

[@riverhuntingdon6659]

Well so is this one really, there's no more MK EMU sets running alas. Takes me back to my time working on them. Only had one breakdown in 25 years, when the line switch on an early CIG went bang !

[@riverhuntingdon6659]

[@ChrisCooper312]

Sadly there seem to be too many 1st Sams these days, and not just on the railways either.

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Yes. It's a shame. People are so helpless these days

[@dodgydruid]

Only have to look down the line of the coaches to tell if a cord been pulled, those "butterflies" are the telltales to show which coach has distress that are on each coach.

[@bennickss]

I thought that this was about the THIRD RAIL!

[@andiyladdie3188]

Thanks for uploading the video, he he i like second Sam and how he is struggling in vain.

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Someone should make a similar skit to this but for GCSE and A-Level exams to motivate people

[@Paulsimon8]

If you get in touch with someone in the safety section at Northern Rail then they will help - we have just used the original version on our Drivers off train safety brief and also on our instructors course. That's if you haven't already found the original!

[@manomaylr]

1:53 Is that Claire from the FGW video?

[@timbervalleyproductions]

Yes, I believe Paul and Claire worked for Spa films who made many railway videos!

[@marcuspotter5590]

I have it on DVD if anyone wants me to send them a copy of that one.

[@philaypeephilippotter6532]

Whilst I admire Bernard Cribbins and although this is by no means a bad update I'm afraid that I don't think that it's anywhere near as good as the original ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn21n6h9arGJidk ). Ken wrote the rhyming monologue for Stanley Holloway and 'Sam' was a real locomotive driver (as is the updated 'Sam'). It was never released so it won no awards.
