The last time that I done this route as a fireman was in 1963 on a black 5 with local passenger. Sad to see a car park where shed 1E used to be at Bletchley (my shed) but surprised to see that the concrete fly-over is still there. I can remember the giant pile driver/hammer running through the night as they built it. And I miss my fresh crusty buttered ham roll and large mug of tea in the 'Coffee Nob' outside platform 1 entrance...good days. Shed manager was Mr Todd, and my driver Tom Wright, god bless em both!

I grew up in Bletchley and still remember the old station buildings with the station approach. by the side. The tea rooms on platform 5.

[@markwilson4052]

My step Grandad was a fireman who operated out of Monument Lane , outside New St. He would have done this run too, as well a s via Weedon on WCML proper. He was in a train which unfortunately killed a porter in the middle of the night at Wolverton in the early 60s.

[@stevejackson7010]

I'm new to cab rides of any sort, and only found them on KZbin by accident, and now I'm hooked. Although cab rides will remain a favourite, I'm latching onto anything UK railways. I suppose you've been asked hundreds of times, but for us newbies along for the ride would you consider adding station names, or junction names and things like that. I know where I'm starting, and where I'm ending, but I haven't the foggiest about the places between. That said I'm thouroughly enjoying the journeying with you.. Many thanks. Steve

I have traveled this line for many years and as you leave Euston the tunnel entrance is a masterpiece in engineering you can see the tunnel from the rear at 48:20 Thanks I have really enjoyed this

[@deathrider7]

I must admit I don't know how drivers do it. I watched this video and my eyes closed a few times. Maybe it was because I was listening to some music atthe time, but I was so relaxed. Nothing boring though I enjoyed what I saw.

A great video EXCEPT. At one point we are passing Queens Park on the Up Fast under greens. Next thing stopped at the bottom of Camden Bank at a red. It would have been great and informative to have seen the actual approch to that point.

[@TrainPlaneHub]

Unfortunately while passing through Primrose Hill Tunnel the camera lost focus, so I was forced to cut the footage until the video had regained focus which was the point in the video you're referring to.

At 7.38 on the right hand side is the water treatment tower for Castlethorpe troughs, followed by a low retaining wall alongside where the troughs were located.

[@g8ktx]

+Henry Law Thanks for that info. I must have passed it hundreds of times travelling between Coventry and Bletchley or London and often wondered what it was. I thought it was some sort of wartime radar scanner or anti-aircraft turret or something. :-)

Why cut out the tunnels , they are part of the atmosphere ?

[@EASYTIGER10]

I like to play videos like this at 1.5 X speed to see how it would look if they could run 160 mph(ish) trains on lines like this. Is any one else as sad as me? :p

But you can do that

[@limeyfox]

Anyone watching this can’t possibly claim that the WCML isn’t full. So many trains!

Brilliant video, what are the reflective markers on the OHLE south of Tring for? i've seen them before

[@jamesatkinson3037]

ooh goody, i like cab rides:)))

[@robertlittlefield1855]

I have a question, and forgive me if it's a dumb one. Near the middle of the video I saw a signal indicating you were going to switch tracks to the right. Which you did. But then you went over an additional track (let's call it 3, with 1 on the left and 4 on the right). I get that British trains drive on the left, just like your cars. Or maybe your car do because the trains drove on the left. So why aren't the two left-most tracks used for the same direction?

[@greatbritishentertainmentl5636]

Very nice ride, although it would have been helpful to know the names of the stations?

[@pjt1974]

I thought I'd asked this before but the comment didn't come up. Is around 20:55 where you recorded the X men Pendolino?

[@johnnyboy3949]

I miss the pretendalino. The west coast mainlines last proper train.

Right at the end is that the Pretendlino in the line next the train?

Anyone know what the black dot on yellow square sign attached to the OLE portals means? To this day I've never understood why a busy commuter station like Watford has no platform canopies.

[@pjt1974]

[@AndreiTupolev]

Nice view of the Pendo leaning to the curve through Berkhamsted. hmmm, two DB red 90s and a 92 in Wembley yard. How scruffy it looks outside Euston with bits of rail lying about all over the place.

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the video totally enjoyed but need too tell us all the stations!!😎🚈🚈🚈🚈🇬🇧

[@matty_j598]

At 48:19 is that a wrexham and Shropshire class 67? If not what year did wrexham and Shropshire go out of business

[@robtyman4281]

No, it'll be a Chiltern Railways train - with a class 68 Diesel loco at one end (the other end is a class 91). Wrexham & Shropshire train operator sadly ceased to be back in 2011. The route got taken over by Chiltern Railways....and after a few years they replaced class 67, with class 68 locos..... because they accelerate faster and can travel at faster speeds.

[@soundseeker63]

Very nice journey! Does anyone know what the silver/grey train passing over the bridge at 48:16 is or what service it might be? It looks like a mk3 DVT its got on the back of it.

[@GofaqYusef]

Chiltern railways run them, usually between London Marylebone and Birmingham Moor Street, with some extended to Stourbridge Junction or Kidderminster at Peak Times, at the moment (13/10/2014) they consist of a Class 67, 6 Mark 3's and a Mark 3 DVT, in December (not sure exactly when) the 67's will be replaced by Class 68's from DRS.

[@LukeBridz]

Good video thanks for sharing! :) call me stupid but I must ask why you get a 'ding' kind of sound every so often? Is that some kind of warning or something?

[@wills54321]

+LukeBridz if it's the sound the driver gets everytime s/he is approaching a green signal then it is the AWS sounding to let the driver know the signal is green/clear/off

At what point does the train cross Bridego Bridge? Is it at about 24:20?

[@zedcharlie]

25.33 exactly

[@dooshy90]

Hi. I'll have my first train ride late this month. How do I make sure not to miss my stop? It's a connecting train. I was going to rely on announcements but in the video I couldn't hear any on the train indicating the various train station where it would stop.

[@bonan960623]

They are much easier to hear in the passenger compartment, and you can always ask the train manager or other passengers. There are also signs on the stations so you can see where you are.

[@INSANEGUITARIST101]

The Pretendolino operates the 19.03 EUS-BHM service Thursday and Friday night. it also makes the return journey back to EUS

[@INSANEGUITARIST101]

***** No, the MK3 service we ran was called Pretendolino it stopped running as of October 25th 2014. it was kitted out like a pendolino with the same decals and upholstery.. hence the name pretendolino. Trust me, I've worked there long enough :P 

[@FabianEason]

***** Yeah the pretendolino was pretending to be a pendolino, hence the name pretend-olino. It was not an official name but tens of thousands of trainspotters know exactly what it means.

[@paulrerrie7858]

Whats the warble alarm that goes off occasionally? Thanks

[@FabianEason]

Paul Rerrie Depending on which one you mean, there is the warning for yellow or red lights, and then there is the one that goes off if the driver hasn't done anything in a while, effectively it says "press button if you are still alive and awake"
