Aren’t they just!

Completely agree! Thank the Department for transports daft aims of making everyone suffer for the sake of a few disabled passengers who may or may not chose the travel and the crackpot idea of chasing net zero

If you have the knowledge on these things buddy please let us know what’s what as we’d be very interested 👍🏼

Grand chaps I’m sure cheers 🍻

There's railway guys in the road too and enough noise and lights really. Ironically they've just spent a load of money doing the crossing up and now it wont get a lot of use sadly

@@RailwayTavern That sounds like the UK's fragmented transport thinking to a 'T'!

Give it 10 years and we'll be putting all this stuff back again. Much like the royal mail train last year and the old story of closing lines and demolishing railway stations or trams systems, someone then realises it was actually a good idea and we spend lots of money putting everything back. In the meantime yes enjoy the extra road traffic sadly.

2 rakes I believe, depends if they will leave together I guess once they're cleaned up

I think movements in and out of the museum there will still use the line but I don't think theyres allowed across strand road otherwise with fare paying passengers.

Now those were the days! Much as I like a 56 I'd take a few 37s any day! How many days a week did the crossing get traffic in those days?

@ I can’t say as I wasn’t in the office all day / everyday. I seem to remember one at around 8-8.30 on Friday morning, but it’s a long time ago. I remembered the 56s as they were quite new and very different than the shabby 37s. 🤔😊

@ end of feb I think for the last move if you want to reminisce!

Yea the pickup on the shunter was really something!

Great location to live! You'll still get the stuff at the weekend but only a few more crosses of the tankers for now

Nice one, what was pulling the tour you were on?

cheers buddy

I wondered that too, unless it was one of the groundstaff for the train?

Not sure about the legality but, if you look on Google Maps, there isn't a road there. Looks like the van was parked on a bit of ground between the railway line and a property boundary wall, near the gate where the railway heads up towards the station. So probably was a railway employee.

Ahh yes, silly me , I realised that myself on watching again , thank you though for clarifing that. Good day to you .

Yes the van is part of the Colas setup and was heading to the next location to change the points I think

@ Shame they don't paint their vans in the same cool colour scheme as their locomotives! 😁

@@moormoor4281 thanks

thanks for the info, there was still a good 2 or 3 trains a week going in with circa 8 tankers I think? That's a lot to go on the road and pretty daft by VTG business wise if there are no other immediate takers for the tankers. Is it going by road now to the same location do you know? Cheers 🍻

Cheers buddy, nice one 🍻

Cheers buddy 🍻

Totally with you buddy. Ironically Total was the customer using the tanks but apparently the owner of the tanks put the price up making it cheaper to go by road. Yes makes no sense does it but such is the UK at the moment! Cheers🍻

Too uneconomical this ran to Lindsay oil terminal

Don't know how the capacity of the rail wagons compares to road tankers but the loss of that train alone will add quite a bit more traffic to our already overcrowded road network.

@@RailwayTavern Well, presumably, they put their price up because their costs increased.

Didn't know u had to run around the tanks and go out the opposite way?

Yes your intel is the same as mine at the minute, not sure what the plan is for the tanks after, hopefully we can find some work for them. Cheers 🍻

@ the information did come from a colas driver, so could be reasonable accurate, with tanks being left for cleaning.

Yes was hoping for a 56 and we got one! End of Feb still we think for the last tanks leaving, maybe another 56 if we're lucky! Cheers 🍻

Yes, often a weekly sight until last year, check out some of our previous videos with them in action if you want another hit! Cheers buddy 🍻

Thanks Steve, yes bit by bit I kinda feel we're chasing one 'last' thing after another at the moment. Its a shame but maybe we can turn it around and get some freight back on the rails soon if some changes are made. Cheers 🍻

The bitumen plant (total or lanfina) are using road haulage going forward so I believe.

One more at the end of Feb we think then that's all for the moment unless rail freight gets some changes made to make it more financially viable

Cheers buddy, yea I was the last to arrive, lucky it was delayed a tad leaving Preston else I think we'd have been struggling! 28th at the moment i think but could change before then. See you next time 🍻

haha didn't it, and driving it like just like his hornby model i reckon!

@jdemmz Good old Sentinels , surprising how a 0.4.0 without connecting rods can get so much traction especially when working a heavy train but they were great industrial locos and up for the job .

Nice touch with the headboard❤

Drive it like you stole it!

Cheers 🍻

Cheers buddy, plenty of action today!Alas that’s not a hat I have in the headwear armoury, black hat and body warmer with red fleece on underneath today! Lucky the rain stayed off!

@@RailwayTavern Oh dear, thought it may have been you. Yes, very lucky with the weather. All the best.

Oil fired Hell Fire!

cheers was a good selection

Do read the description old chap 😉

Dohhh😅

Many thanks!

Same, glad you enjoyed it buddy🍻

Cheers Nige, do like a a bright crisp morning!

Every home should have one 📸

Cheers buddy 🍻

Haha indeed!

Less crashy I imagine too!
