Many of the signals at Shrub Hill seem to be on the wrong side of the line. Was that a GWR thing?
No. As far as im aware it's because of Restrictive clearances. Ive worked over other semaphore routes and never encountered so many wrong sided signals as Worcester. Very unique and a challenge for drivers who don't pass over this route daily
@@dougthetrain Unusual! The route learning must have been a challenge - especially in former times when there would have been many more signals. Thanks!
could not get very far as the autofocus issues messed with my OCD!
Good video, like!
Nice cab ride, the railway line looks quite rustic. (I had the same problems with the focus at my last video and even without wiper, but only a few minutes, I skipped the parts.)
Hi Simon, great video and also a great video you have with the driver's eye view from Exeter to Plymouth. I make driver's eye view documentaries for my UA-cam channel which includes narration talking about the history of the route and showing run by shots of the train passing certain locations. With your permission would you allow me to use your driver's eye view footage and make a documentary out of it? The documentary will include credits and you will be listed in them with a link to your channel and the original footage. This would be a great opportunity to make a driver's eye view documentary of this route if you allow me to use your footage. Hope to hear from you soon :) Train Paul
Yes that's absolutely fine with me. Look forward to seeing it. Simon
@@dougthetrain thank you so much! When it’s all finished I’ll send you a link👏🏻 thanks Simon again
thanks for uploading! :-)
Went right past my old house! Between Blackheath and Langley Green the railway crosses the Wolverhampton New Road in Oldbury. The house where I grew up in the 1950s and 60s is right next to the railway, but hasn't a lot of the surrounding area changed!!! Very nostalgic
Great video,shame about the auto focus though.I’m guessing it was picking up the wiper blade occasionally
As the camaeraman never heard of Focus, half the time its blurred.
Hard to watch because it keeps going out of focus. I have never seen that on train video.
Great video but the dropping out of focus is a nightmare
I noticed that as well, that windscreen wiper was upsetting the auto focus.
The camera appears to intermittently try to focus on the wiper arm and not the scenery. Probably because the arm is parked mid-screen.
Unfortunately, once I started moving I could no longer touch the camera and the screen went to black so I couldn't see what was going on!!
Camera need to be set at manual focus, Use a focus distance that gives the most detail.
It is great to still see semaphore signalling around Worcester.
I used to find lower quadrant signals quaint when I saw them on holiday as a kid. I'm now retired...
Interesting opening movement with two trains allowed to approach each other under main aspect signals and a limited clearance point/no flank protection. 'Back in the day!' Allowable only with Steady green flag from the Box (not possible at this location), clearing of a subsidiary warning arm or holding at the Main aspect, interlocked with the Crossover points until the route is available.
I agree that captions to give station names (and maybe significant features such as viaducts and tunnels) would be a good idea. It's a shame that your camera keeps intermittently focussing on the windscreen wiper and/or droplets of water, making the outside out-of-focus. At least *sometimes* the outside is in focus ;-) Not a lot you can do about the windscreen wiper in shot, if that's the only place you can put the camera, but it would be less intrusive if it didn't mess with the camera's autofocus. Maybe tilt the camera slightly downwards in future videos so as to see a bit more track and landscape and a bit less sky.
The whole idea of this video is to give you an idea of what and how a driver sees the route. A driver doesnt get a pop up on the screen(Yet!) to advise them of where they are.
@@dougthetrain But they have route knowledge which we do not.
@@rubyait Just look at google maps or look up the train timetable and it will be easy to learn the route. It's not complicated. Using a bit of initiative does help, instead of complaining to someone who has actually bothered to record and post the video.
Okay. No suggestions to people posting entertaining or informational videos on how to make their efforts more enjoyable. See you on other providers. @@ds1868
I worked at sh on a unit for signals maintenance, back in 1982. We put the heating system in. The unit comes into view at the end of the righthand platform by the crossing. Ironically as the jcb driver was digging the trench for the gas supply ripped up a load of comms cables, and it took 1 month to repair them.
They should pull up all those redundant tracks north of shrub hill and use then to redouble the line between Evesham and Worcester.
Would have been better if the camera had been locked off and not in autofocus mode.
@@laurencecope7083 Yes, that autofocus is a right pain.
@@Mortimer50145 stupid camera kept focussing on the window wiper. It wouldn't have been too much trouble to move it or move the camera. It ruins an otherwise good video especially of the southern approach into Kidderminster.
the track is no good for mainliine running. hence why its used in sidings
Named stations en route would have enhanced this good video

@@dougthetrain point taken but set this against other front end views it seems that just a little more would attract viewers back.
puta banda , parece que hay cuatro gatos viendolos , suerte los que estuvisteis ahi , nada como algo intimo
First gig in 18 months and they didn't disappoint - Awesome night
Forward to 3:00 to get moving!
Cracking video there Simon!!
Nice I might ride it when I go back
