I miss any hst

[@bangerbangerbro]

@@dankstuff6127 Why did I wait until all the HSTs and 365s had disappeared to get properly into trains?

[@bb-3653]

What's the reason for that deep traction sound on the rails that every train seems to make. Although it's not coming from the trains motor

[@bb-3653]

@@TPhype-Discovery I'm not even sure, because on some tracks it doesent make that sound then all of a sudden you hear it , as though the train magically has a new traction sound

[@bb-3653]

@@TPhype-Discovery nah every train that rolls on certain tracks makes the same noise whether it be a class 700 or class 455. Or even in this video, listen to the trains depart it sounds like an old class 321 traction motor noise on the 365 and the 700s. perhaps some sort of vibration or friction echoes through the track making it sound as though it's the traction motor noise , it's a mystery

[@reacesm]

Its the way the rails are made so the train has faster traction and better grip

[@bb-3653]

@@reacesm ahh that makes so much sense, and the vibrations of whatever notches and patterns they etched into the track, echo through the track producing the sound I assume.

12:55 why did the driver do that?

[@ukrailspotter21]

To make him happy

[@bfapple]

To try and make Huntingdon a more cheerful place.

I live in Huntingdon and I have to get on a train every day because I need to go to school

[@bangerbangerbro]

School or university? Whenever anyone here is going to school out of town it is usually in Cambridge, Kimbolton or St Ives, and trains don't help much in getting to either of those.
