Anglia Cab Rides
United Kingdom
Приєднався 30 лис 2023
Cab ride around Anglia with route information of line speeds and level crossings added to help with anyone route learning.
These are made for information purpose only and not intended to be used as a training material.
All the videos are recorded while working and unfortunately I can only capture routes as I go over them but will add as and when I can.
My aim is to try and get the whole of Anglia and also create shorts of sidings and routes less used to help route learners and for people general interest.

6Q01 2241 Stowmarket D.G.L. to Foxton Departing on 9th September 2024 will U be asking if you can go by Newmarket
Don’t suppose that was you on 6J90 earlier lol
@easternrailfreight it wasn't am currently on nights in and out of Diss, am not on days again till Sunday out of Lowestoft
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck Ahhh fair enough 👍🏻
feels weird seeing Romford station without BTP there or someone doing something stupid 😉
my days the elizabeth line is so frequent look at the headways between each of those trains
Would I be right - the unit you were driving is a Tamper? Ah yes - just answered my own question from your Plasser bridge video. A Plasser 08 .
@ACELog You are correct it is a tamper, I put a photo at the start of every video of the one I use to record from.
Thanks for recording this, really enjoyed barrelling down the Great Eastern mainline and then along to Yarmouth and Lowestoft! A smashing little set of routes there. Silly question, where are you normally based - did this involve a short stay in East Anglia for you? Hope you enjoyed it if so!
@trainsonthebrain Glad you enjoyed the video, There is no silly questions if you want to ask you are welcome too, I am based in Anglia I have been here for about 5 years now having previously been over Wessex area.
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck excellent. I’m from West Norfolk originally, moved to London for work but still head back as often as I can. Went to to Wroxham recently for a trip an along the Broads, fantastic!
@trainsonthebrain I was on the Broads boating for a week just last month, I am hope to be able to get Liverpool Street at some point.
Another great run. I do hope you'll be taking us to Kings Lynn soon!
@iantaf5559 thank you and it is on the to do list 👍
March yard is still quite large
@martyn6792 It was my first time there so I was surprised how busy it was.
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck station building is classic architecture
@@martyn6792 Yes it was a shame the disused platforms ways blocked off
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck it was, I watched a video way back in more or less it's original state, think late 1970's possibly early 1980s, was very busy
Nice video! Would you be able to video Ingatestone to Stratford via up electrics?
@reviewlandxl7782 I have been able to capture parts of it but not all in one go hopefully I will be able to at some point
What's the thing on the front called? What can it be used to transport?
@jakesdiner That is are trailer (fixed to the machine) it has an additional fuel tank, lockable storage compartments and also a brush box to tidy up the 4 foot after we have tamped it.
Thanks for the toot passing through Thurston.
@MartinHoughtonRN You are welcome, I try to do it every time I pass time of day depending of cos.
I enjoyed the video, thank you. Here's hoping you had a great couple of weeks away.
@tonywise198 Its was very good thank you I would recommend a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads to everyone.
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck I would agree with that - it is very relaxing.
Brilliant 👍🏻
@easternrailfreight Cheers 👍
Don’t suppose it was you on 6J90 last Saturday 🤔
Yes it was
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck I wondered who it was that did the horn show at Needham ! Got the vid up on youtube shorts 👍🏻
Yes I seen it and liked it, I did have my camera on but a bug decided to land on the window where it was and ruined it
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck Ah cheers. That’s a pain!
Where is this at 1:04:20. Has this junction got a name?
@RobertSweet-nw4tm Forest Gate Junction
At 1:01:22 something happened. Did you reverse?
@RobertSweet-nw4tm We had to change ends
But a discontinuity at Forest Gate. We suddenly find ourselves somewhere else on another line. Not a continuous journey. Disappointed.
@RobertSweet-nw4tm am sorry you are disappointed but I do believe the route is true to what I said in the title
For a kick off you cannot go to Lowestoft via that dump great Yarmouth, you have to go via Norwich
Do you drive trains? Did your Grandad drive the flying scotsman perchance? 😅
@annamarietrindal1967 Did you watch the video as you would see that I didn't stop at Norwich but I did at Great Yarmouth and this was not a passenger train but a OTM
Looks like some CWR going in along the haddiscoe new cut, I was told they weren't going to do that stretch due to cost and the flooding issues there. Great video really enjoyed it. I help look after the station gardens at somerleyton so was nice seeing them from a driver's perspective 😊
Yes, I saw them there as well. Hopefully, it will be replaced soon. You and your colleagues do a good job keeping the station looking clean and tidy and well presentable at Somerleyton it's always good to see
Why the DETOUR ?
I had to do this as I hadn't been over the route for awhile so I requested a drive over it to keep my current on the route
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck that explains it , just thought crikey he ain’t saving a planet 🌎 going that route thought when you left Ipswich you would go Woodbridge Blyth Lowestoft. Any way you got there safe and that’s always the main thing. Thanks for your reply. Take Care . 🚂
@kenboyooo Unfortunately we are not aloud to run over the East Suffolk line via Woodbridge during the day as we are restricted to 20 Mph over the route and would cause delays to the passenger trains, thank you for watch and you're welcome to ask more questions anytime
Shame can't see Romford Sidings from Romford Station. Great see from rail track
Just found your channle. GREAT stuff
Glad you enjoy them and thank you
Definition of a high speed train.
It’s a shame you’re only covering parts of the route with commentary - you may have covered it before but it’s offputting to those of us new to your channel
Point is noted and I will not skip the commentary if I make one like this again thank you for watching and raising this
Thanks once again. Very fine video.
Thank you very much
Norwich to Ely takes two hours!!! you could drive it in an hour!
@JL-rx6hl This was recorded on a tamper which runs at a slower line speed then the passenger trains
A very long-winded journey.
@petersharpe3186 being limited to slower speeds than passenger trains does mean it takes us longer to get places
I had looked forward to the route taken by the Easterling, Liverpool streeet to Beccles non stop then split to Lowestoft and Gt Yarmouth, south town,2 hours 30 minutes!
@daviddeniseskippings1054 I've been past the two remains of the bridges this week while on holiday
Just as a matter of intrest, there were three. British railway stations named after public houses. Bat & Ball in Kent (pub now closed, Berney Arms in Suffolk (pub now closed) and Portsmouth Arms in Notth Devon (status unknown)
Three Cocks Junction in Mid-Wales was another. The pub still exists.
I don’t get it! Why did you go all the way through to Great Yarmouth?
@thomassmiffie3132 I was due a refresh on the route or it would be taken off my route card
Excellent, once again. Thanks very much.
@phwbooth glad you enjoyed it
Enjoy yourself matey. Looking forward to future uploads.😊
@petertate8366 cheers
Enjoy your holiday, We've got freeman 23 on the Lanky 😊
@robertbrierley7083 enjoy
Thanks for all the videos you've given us, have a great holiday
@martyn6792 thank you
Enjoy your time off.
@tonywise198 cheers will do
Have a very good holiday.
@johnwiesen4440 thank you
And you thought your tampax machine is slow.
@cutter004 Max of 6 Mph its like being in one big worksite that never ends
Bridge looks pretty ropey!! Seems like not a lot of clearance underneath.
The clearance was 3 meters and the boat height was 2.75
Have a great holiday
Will do thank you
Nice one Matt, I need to learn Barking to Pitsea, so this is a massive help 👌🏻
can you imagine if cars and trucks etc had to slow to 15mph just to change lane...................................
@JL-rx6hl completely different machine's/Vehicles so you cant really comparer the both of them as the speeds are set over points for safety
Good video as always, nice bonus seeing the 37 hauled test train too.
We was lucky to capture it
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck you were indeed
I notice a member of staff at Tottenham Hale giving the driver a wave. It must be a nice moment to see a tamper go by - a bit of something different on the railway.
We get a few waves as we pass always happy to wave back or give a blast of the horn
Just started watching your vlogs and really enjoying them, I know those are train vlogs but being from the North it would be good if you could tell us something about the building's and sights you pass.😊
@robertbrierley7083 Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the channel, When I started this channel it was to help myself and other drivers with learning routes in are area of work but it has far surpassed this now and I have been asked this a few times now so I will have a look and see what could work
Why they had to put a bleeding Diesel behind Clan line what an insult to the Merchat Navy Preservation Society's years of running this superb loco without any failures in its history of running on mainline. 😮
@chrisfrost8456 am not sure but I think that it might just be standard practice now as a fail safe set across the board
Usually diesels are inserted into the consist to provide 'Hotel' services, i.e. electricity/heating to the coaching stock. It's also required by NR as 'insurance' against failure, as costs for delays and disruption to scheduled services costs a fortune, and it's the charter company that foots the bill.
Chris, FYI I have a thing or two to do with the locomotive you mention. Normally we are unassisted by diesels. Occasionally one is put on the back for operational reasons/ leaf fall etc. Mainly more recently due to the hot weather NWR have a system in place where steam locomotives are assisted by a diesal. This reduces any risk of sparks and setting the world on fire. Hope that helps.
Looked like line side bushes were covering a bunch of speed signs coming into Ipswich, is that pretty common or is something amiss there?
With the wet weather we have been having it is not unexpected but there is a team going round cutting back the vegetation
Great video .r u going to do one on the Acle route?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I am hoping to eventually capture the whole of Anglia so at some point hopefully I will do Acle
Did they put you through the Loop @ Temple Mills just for route learning purposes?
No we was booked in there so they could run a passenger train past us
