Trains in snow storm at Gillingham station

[@tractioninverter]

That's amazing. I love seeing trains run through snow, it's statisfying somehow. :)

[@railworksamerica]

this looks amazing

[@sparkidee]

This looks like the other week when it was constantly snowing. I didn't know u was from Kent? I go to Gillingham a lot as one of my friends lives there. I live down in Margate and we had no snow whatsoever

[@benolifts]

I live in Medway and it is a shithole. I very rarely go around town in Medway as I have no reason to. I travel to other places when I go out. In fact, I have been to Poland more days this year than days I have been somewhere in my own town this year. Margate is a nice place. Lots of beaches.

[@jakewynn]

Wow! A class 465 with the GTO Thyristors!! I was told all of these have been put into storage.

[@franklinthebusdriver6387]

All 465/2s have been put into storage, along with a couple of 466s 465/9s and a large majority of 466s are still in service with their old VF drives

[@jakewynn]

@EastCoastSpotter yeah but I was to the knowledge that all the 465s that weren't the new IGBT Hitachi VF drives were put into storage. Maybe its because they are less efficient?

[@jakewynn]

@EastCoastSpotter so they have some rolling stock with new motors but the old VF drive?

[@danieldronzek8616]

Thameslink trains sound like car alarms IHMO.

[@jakewynn]

All Siemens desiros sound like this. It doesn't sound as good as the 465!!

@Daniel Dronzek No IMHO is In My Humble Opinion. There is no such thing as IHMO and In Honest My Opinion doesn't make sense.

EeeBahGumLad, tha' loves t' suffer for yer art and very grateful for it am I. How many inches of snow on yer ed did you grow taller by? That was a special night.

[@ReubenAshwell]

The snow does make a good backdrop for the trains I'll admit.

[@ReubenAshwell]

Also I've noticed Austin hasn't commented, maybe he's been snowed under? 😂

[@azuma892]

What does snow feel like? I've never experienced snow in real life.

[@moocow4654]

Crunchy and wet

[@benolifts]

Very cold and makes your hands hurt. Even the thickest gloves do little to keep you warm.

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

And if you go to pick up your midnight pizza to save the bloke on the ped from a slippery journey and forget those gloves, your knuckles bleed, you look like a nutjob and you get extra toppings! So not all bad.

[@railworksamerica]

it’s fun

[@wisteela]

Looks really nice

[@2112SSF]

When was this? Snow in Britain is very rare.

[@ReubenAshwell]

It does say in the title where the station is.

[@2112SSF]

@@ReubenAshwell im asking WHEN this was.

[@ReubenAshwell]

@@2112SSF Oh when, this will have been sometime between the 12th and the 17th.

[@rileyludlow961]

I'm from here but I do not recall snow om this date. Was this filmed when we had the snow and uploaded after?

[@johnrauner2515]

So Sittingbourne is on your right. Does that platform behind you get used?

[@johnrauner2515]

I have never seen snow. Or for that matter seen snow lying on the ground in a city like this.

[@benolifts]

Platform 1 used to be for terminating trains on the Dartford line. These trains now continue to Rainham. It is disappointing that they don't go further to Sheerness which would give them through trains rather than having to change at Sittingbourne. Also, Sittingbourne should be called Shithole-bourne

[@Andrewjg_89]

Usually when trains arrive and depart in heavy snow. You know you'll get some epic arcing on DC 750v 3rd Rail.

[@DISCOTECHS]

Whats the humming noise on back carriage 4:00

[@Looiiss37]

What are the services that Class 465/9 are used on to Faversham?

[@LemoncloudGT]

Hasn’t stopped any trains tho

[@danieldronzek8616]

There was 5 cm of snow in Košice and all the trams stopped.

[@Erick_GuitarMan]

Beno in on if your videos you wer complaining about people think when elevator cables snap they free fall down but after you go on to say you will fall up du to the counterweight being slightly heavier so what happens if the counterweight cable Were to snap would it free fall then ?

[@benolifts]

The issue is that the cables on lifts do not randomly snap. There are far more things to go wrong than cables snapping. It is the too obvious thing that people think off who don't know better. If the cables were to snap, or the more likly sinario that they fall off an unprotected 2:1 wheel, then the lift will go down until it overspeeds then the governer will stop it. or on a modern lift that isn't moving, the governer will trip almost instantly when set to zero speed tripping.
