Thank you Keith, the first time I saw this line, trains had just started running between Bridgenorth and Hampton Loade. As a child my parents used to stop at a transport cafe a mile or so south of Bridgenorth on the road from Kidderminster. My parents couldn't afford to take the family for a ride on the train back then, but the sight of the steam trains on the other side of the valley will always be etched on my memory. Eventually the day came when my parents did take the family for a magical ride on the railway, the line became folklore in my family history. Walking the line must have left you some fascinating memories, we are lucky to live in a country with so many wonderful heritage railways. All the best. Tim.
One of my ‘favourite’ heritage railways which has an asset in the railway museum at Highley. Well worth taking time out from the train ride to go round.
I visited the museum at Highley for the first time during this year's Diesel Gala and I have to say I was impressed, I wondered where Gordon had got to? and the views from the cafe are superb. I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with you, the museum is well worth visiting.
Hello, I've had the pleasure of watching this railway grow from it's humble beginnings when the first section between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade reopened in 1970. It's amazing to see the railway today, I bet those early preservationists never expected their dreams to one day become the amazing railway we see today.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, some of these heritage railways put on evacuation events for local school children, so that they can experience the days you remember. They dress in period cloths and carry tiny suitcases with the few items they were allowed to take with them, they look pretty convincing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the train ride through the English countryside. Very beautiful and picturesque scenery. Lovely time to spend a day on this train/ride. Thank you for another marvelous production of yours.
Nice video, last time I travelled to Bridgnorth I was a raw recruit just joining the RAF this was where we done our square bashing 1954, it was such a shock I signed on for another five years.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Did you join up voluntarily or were you doing national service? I think the return of national service would help a lot of youngsters, a bit of discipline wouldn't go amiss, both my nephews went on to make careers from what they learned in the forces, one in telecommunications and the other became a pilot. The Severn Valley is one of the few places that hasn't changed much over the last half century. Thanks for sharing your memories. Cheers. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I was National Service but after the two years I signed on for another three years. A glutton for punishment. Totally agree with you, today's young need just the square bashing bit to bring them down to earth.
@@ronholfly I missed National Service, but I think I would have enjoyed it. The discipline of the forces would most likely benefit today's youngsters.
Well done Tim, as always and Thank You .Our familly have been on the SVR many times in the past so this view of the line is much appreciated, theyre all Mums and dads themselves now so ill pass on the link 😊 Quality Footage 😊
Hello, I'm pleased this video reminded you of happy days spent on the railway with your children who are now parents themselves, my story is a similar one, first my parents took me to the railway, then I took my children and now they are taking their children, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊.
Brilliant video, well worth spending the time with three mugs of tea and a packet of biscuits to watch, thank you. Now we need one going south in the cab of a diesel please.😉
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed the ride and when I visit again, I'll ask for permission to shoot a video in the opposite direction from one of the railway's superb fleet of diesel locomotives.
Woo, my local line, been on it so, so many times! This video definitely showed it off nicely! And 75069 sounded in good nick as well, especially going up Eardington. Hopefully the SVR will be able to pull itself out of the financial hole it currently finds itself in.
Hi, the SVR is one of the best, it must be nice to live close enough to be able to call it your local line, 75069 looked and sounded like new, a real credit to those responsible for looking after her. I visited on a week day and from what I saw, the future looks promising, there were plenty of visitors and they looked to be spending freely in the cafes and souvenir shops at Kidderminster station. The SVR has proved its resilience in the past, this isn't the first time the railway has hit financial issues and I'm sure it will pull through again because it has a strong and loyal membership, coupled with a good public image, who wouldn't want to ride an SVR train? My local railway "the Bluebell Railway" keeps reminding people that it is running trains and staging special events with radio and local newspaper advertising and that is helping to keep visitor numbers at a reasonable level. I'm sure the guys running the SVR are up to the task, I'm looking forward to visiting again.
Thanks Tim, yet another corker production! BUT, something appears wrong with SVR policies, so much shiny rolling stock, super buildings and stations yet a very light train which is one of only a few a day cannot maintain a good speed without numerous restrictions?
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Like most heritage railways these days the SVR is having to cope with the aftermath of Covid restrictions and the high cost of coal to survive. The train was busy and a number of staff commented on the surprisingly high number of passengers travelling on a weekday before the children had broken up for the holidays. From what I saw the passenger numbers bode well for the future of the railway and I'm sure the timetable will be more intensive once the holidays have started. As for speed limits the railway is governed by the usual 25 mph light railway restriction applied to heritage railways, it also is built on a steep sided valley close to the River Severn, this has given rise to speed restrictions of less than 25 mph in places where the trackbed is unstable due to slow moving landslips. In 2017 repairs to the landslip at County Boundary, between Arley and Highley required a £1 million solution involving soil nails and sinking new piling sheets. I think the railway is doing a very good job under demanding circumstances. On the plus side, who would want to speed through such attractive scenery?
Many years ago I had the pleasure of travelling on this beautiful railway with my late father. What happy memories I had as I watched this great video. Thank you for uploading this as it brought back fond memories.
The sound of the rhythmic beat of a steam locomotive and the clickety-clack of the wheels on joined track is often used by people who have difficulty falling asleep to drop off.
This was magical. The Bridgnorth Station looks as charming as it has always been. Your coverage was crisp & clear. Though I wish I could also see the train from inside. Have a wonderful day, Tim ~

Удивительная дорога. Особенно поразила конструкция дистанционного переключения стрелок. Англичане молодцы, поддерживающие в рабочем состоянии такую уникальную железную дорогу. Как знать, может в скором времени придется вспомнить забытые инженерные чудеса.
Здравствуйте, я рад, что вам понравилось наблюдать за этим фрагментом британской истории в действии. Наши предки изобрели удивительные вещи, и нам есть за что их поблагодарить, и приятно видеть, что живая история, такая как эта железная дорога, все еще выполняет свою работу, для которой она была предназначена. Hello, I am pleased you enjoyed watching this piece of British history in action. Our forefathers invented some amazing things, we have a lot to thank them for and it is nice to see living history such as this railway still doing the job it was designed to do.
Hi from New Zealand! My father, who is 89, was born in Bridgnorth. I used to go to a school called Apley Park, situated just north of the town, on the banks of the river Severn, in the late 1960's. I have not been back there since then, but its on my bucketlist.😊😊😊 A beautiful video, and country side.
Hello, nice to hear from New Zealand, I'll be over there in October to see my son and his family, I'll also be taking the opportunity to ride one of Steam Incorporated's special trains. Bridgnorth hasn't changed much since the 60's, it's still an attractive town with plenty to see and do. If you do get to ride a Severn Valley train, I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience, not quite the Manawatū Gorge, but never the less it's a scenic ride with some of the prettiest stations to be seen anywhere.
こんにちは、日本から連絡が来てうれしいです。これは博物館鉄道なので、手旗信号が使われています。幹線鉄道の信号機はほとんどすべて色灯ですが、私の地元の駅には今でも電気式信号機が設置されていますが、昔ながらの手旗信号機がまだ飾られています。 Hello, nice to hear from Japan. This is a museum railway, hence the semaphore signals. Almost all mainline railway signals are colour lights, although my local station is still graced with old fashioned semaphore signals, although there are now electrically operated.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I use the latest GoPro cameras and to the best of my knowledge the inbuilt mics are mono unless wind noise reduction is turned off. I could use external stereo mics, but that would make it difficult to mount in the short time I typically have to set everything up, hopefully GoPro will come up with a suitable solution.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video; it is a wonderful railway, a real credit to all involved in saving and maintaining the railway for us all to enjoy. I will be uploading a replacement video with spelling errors corrected early next week.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride and I'm really grateful to the staff and volunteers at the railway for their help and cooperation in making this video.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. “Driver's Eye View” isn't totally honest, but I use it in the title to indicate it's a forward view and the dreaded UA-cam algorithm picks up on “Driver's Eye View”, whereas it almost completely ignores “Forward View”. I hope you can forgive me for my little indiscretion.
Gee Tim, you keep going to my favourite railways! Did the SVR on our anniversary visit to Shrewsbury in January 2004. Went there again in 2006, although only took lineside shots, mainly at Hampton Loade, on a beautiful warm July afternoon. In 2004 the Severn was marginally flooding Shrewsbury and looked fabulously ominous and dangerous, especially from the big bridge - definitely not a swimming day, as there was frost on the slopes beside the shed roads at Bridgenorth when we arrived in the morning...
I've been a regular visitor to the SVR since I was a youngster back in the 70's when the line only operated between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade, seeing each new section opening all the way to Kidderminster was the highlight of many family holidays to the area. I'm glad this video bought back pleasant memories from your own visits to the railway. The Severn in full flood is a reminder that even today mother nature still gets the better of man from time to time, like you, I've seen the muddy, swirling waters rushing around the bridge parapets and felt a sudden desire to get back to 'Terra Firma'.
What a pure joy to travel this line and how the stations are kept so neat and tidy is incredible. Beautiful countryside of Worcestershire to take in en-route and seeing England in all it's glory. I know now why Sir Edward Elgar loved the county of his birth so much to help in his composing of the music he was so renowned for.
The Severn Valley Railway has needed video footage like this for a long time. Congratulations on making this happen. I can see me watching and listening to the sounds of my weekends enjoying the smell of steam.
The guys at the 'Severn Valley Railway' were really helpful, without their time, effort and fund raising, videos such as this one wouldn’t be possible. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride and I'm sure you'd be happy to join me in saying a big "Thank you to the people of the Severn Valley Railway; we really appreciate what you do".
It's funny how everywhere looks different when viewing it from a train, the Falling Sands Viaduct, for example, is a bridge we drive under all the time because we live very near to this railway but from up above it takes a few seconds to work out where you actually are, the only giveaway here is that big yellow building with 'Stock N Lock' on it!
A nice ride, a green landscape, a great machine and then this sound: a symphony of tones that inspire every railway fan. Hello Tim, many greetings from Germany. 👍😊🚂🎶👏💯🙋♂
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have posted a passengers eye view. I would send a link, but I'm away from my computer filming in Australia at the moment. Cheers. Tim.
Good question to which I don't know the answer, I looked on the internet where there is some information such as this article - forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4311&sid=32cceaed172d7a28dda60c7537fee820 I can only assume it was there for modification and testing.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Well, it isn't very far afield from either Stourbridge or the Parry factory. From the rather non-TOC looking livery, I suspect this is one from the factory; as I am not even sure Parry exists any longer. I might do a bit of research on this. Either way, Tim, this is another fine example of your work.
@@tsl56If you do find more information about it, I'd be interest to know more. There is also a chance that it has been donated to the railway. However you look at it, it is just as historic as the rest of the locomotives and DMU's on the railway.
Sy sangat suka dengan kereta api tua, namun sayang lokomotifnya ga di perlihatkan. Coba bikin Videonya di perlihatkan dong ketika sedang jalan. Terima kasih
I'm wondering, how does it come that the semaphore signal seen from the rear at 23:12 shows the "off" position (arm tilted in to the lower quadrant) for the opposite direction? Should it not protect against a movement leaving the station in the opposite direction of ours, that potentially could come into conflict with the train we arrive on?
Here in Italy, along the single-track railway lines without an electrical block (therefore managed with the telephone block or with a similar system), the semaphore-type signals of a given station were set free during the periods in which the station railway was "disabled" (no crossings, right-of-way, shunting, etc.) and the signals were not supposed to protect level crossings.
In fact, in the railway station in question we do not notice the exchange of the token (or the pilot stick) between the traffic operator (in Italy station master or movement manager) and the train driver. Therefore I suppose that at that moment the railway station was actually "disabled" and excluded from the distancing (that is, it did not perform the function of the blocks-system consensus exchange point, through the token-block or similar).
Signalling block systems enable the safe and efficient operation of railways by preventing collisions between trains. The basic principle is that a track is broken up into a series of sections or "blocks". Only one train may occupy a block at a time, and the blocks are sized to allow a train to stop within them. That ensures that a train always has time to stop before getting dangerously close to another train on the same line. The block system is referred to in the UK as the method of working, in the US as the method of operation, and in Australia as safeworking.
Token block Main article: Token (railway signalling) Authority to occupy a block is provided by physical possession of a token by train staff that is obtained in such a way that ensures that only one train is in a section of track at a time. Ordinary train staff (OTS) A driver approaching a single track section would get the token, and uses it as the authority to enter the block section. He would surrender the token at the other end of the section. This caused problems if one train was to be followed by another in the same direction, as the staff would not be at the correct end after the first train. Ordinary train staff and ticket (OTST) or (OTS&T) Ordinary train staff (OTS) was therefore extended: if one train was to be followed by another in the same direction, the driver of the first train was required to be shown the token, but not take possession of it (in theory he was supposed to physically touch the token, but this was not strictly followed). He was given a written authority to enter the single line section, referred to as the ticket. He could then proceed, surrendering the ticket at the other end of the section, and a second train could follow in possession of the staff.
There weren't many trains operating at the time, so there wasn't a need for all the block sections to be operational, some were switched out. When this happens the signals in that section are left in the off position almost as if they weren't there.
I didn't know the answer, so I asked Google and this was the best answer - a black St. George's cross on a white background indicates the approach to an open level crossing. www.railsigns.uk/sect16page1.html
I'm sure the permanent way guys will enjoy reading your comment. There are several camping and caravan sites along the route, beautiful scenery and one the country’s finest heritage railways adds up to a winning combination.
Thank you, I' glad you enjoyed it, the volunteers and staff are doing a wonderful job enabling us all to enjoy the sights and sounds of steam locomotives doing what they were designed to do on one of Britain’s best preserved railways 😊.

Hadn't been that way since 1986. Wyre Forest Junction completely disappeared and the connection to the BSC sidings still there but the sidings long gone.
"It wasn't easy, but somebody has to do it" is not the correct answer. I attached a small GoPro camera to the locomotive whilst I rode in a comfortable seat in one of the carriages.
The railway is built on a relatively steep sided valley next to the river Severn, this has resulted in very slow moving landslips such as the one between between Arley and Highley, which required a £1 million solution in 2017 involving soil nails and sinking new piling sheets. The slower speed does give passenger more time to enjoy the attractive scenery.
Amazing watching this in Philippines if you Google me Louis wall station gardener see what l did for our scottish Railways but l was a working member at Highley proud to spent so many happy times.
Hi, hope you are keeping well in the Philippines. I looked you up on the internet - ciltscotland.com/arcmr061216.php Railway gardens have become very popular, making ordinary stations look amazing.
No, I'm surprised you're still using a tablet. At first I thought it was a tourist route, but there are freight cars running. But it's taken well. Better position than the driver. It's important
Hi' I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, the 'Severn Valley Railway' is one of my favourite UK heritage lines, I especially like the smaller stations, they are set in some of the most scenic locations to be found on any preserved railway in Britain.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. One of the Severn Valley Railway's main attractions for me is the wonderfully restored stations, they are as much part of the railway as the locomotives. I hope you have an enjoyable visit, there is so much to see and do.
Hi, I started to write an explanation, then I checked my facts to make sure I'd got right, in doing so I found this well written description by David A. Davis, so I just copied and pasted it here - The steam you see coming out from the cylinders is actually controlled by the engineer, via what are called the "cylinder cocks". These are ports in the cylinder that can be opened to allow steam and/or water to escape, and the reason you would want to provide them is simple. When starting, a locomotive's cylinders are relatively cool compared to the incoming steam, and water, liquid water, will condense out in the cylinders. These cylinder cocks allow the liquid water, along with some steam of course, to escape, preventing the cylinder heads from damage or being blown off, as liquid water does not compress!
@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks so much for your reply ! I'm going to ask my Ace Engineer hubby , and it will be fun to see if he STILL " knows it all " ! He probably will give a 10 minute lecture about it ! 😊! But I will have fun thinking that not many other folk would know what you so kindly just explained here😊🦉🚂
This could have been a brilliant video, but for the focusing. I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. The video needs to shot again with the point of focus corrected on the camera. The faster the engine the faster the camera has to focus. Consequently, when the engine is moving slowly, everything into the far distance is sharply in focus, but when moving fast the auto focus is only catching up at around 25m away. Just watch the video and at speed you will see the middle distance completely out of focus, only to snap into focus when the engine reaches less than 20/25m distance. This does not make for pleasurable viewing. I would suggest turning off the auto focus and focusing on the hyperfocal distance.
Hi, thank you for the advice. This was filmed with a GoPro 11 camera, it uses a fixed focal distance and the result when played directly from the original footage is both good and in focus, although ideally the camera should have been mounted higher. The footage played back from UA-cam is never quite as good as that I upload. If the chance comes my away again, I will shoot this film from a higher position. Cheers. Tim.
All chuffing wonderful. Lots and lots of stuff to go oogh at, but it was the wonderful quality of the track that most impressed me. Not exactly heritage, but it goes to show that the Severn Valley Railway are a proper outfit.
The Severn Valley Railway is doing a great job, like many heritage railways, traditional bullhead track is used in the station areas, but increasingly heritage railways are investing in modern track between stations to keep track maintenance costs down and give passengers a comfortable ride, the improved ride also reduces the cost of maintaining the rolling stock.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. I looked at your channel, loved watching the old tractors, I grew up in a village surrounded by farms where I started driving tractors when I was only 12 years old, the first one I drove was an ancient Fordson with a scaper fitted to the back, it was my job to scrape all the cows manure to one side of the yard ready to be loaded into muck spreaders, as I got older I was trusted to do must of the tractor driving jobs around the farms at weekends and evenings when I wasn't at school. Happy Days 😊.
Hi, I really enjoyed visiting the railway, nice people, awesome locomotives and some of the best carriages to be found anywhere in the country, especially the full train of LMS stock and the Gresley teak coaches. The coming gala should be a good one, I hope you enjoy the event.

Thank you for your kind comment, the SVR staff and volunteers are the real heroes, without them videos like this wouldn't be possible.
Hi from New Zealand! My father, who is 89, was born in Bridgnorth. I used to go to a school called Apley Park, situated just north of the town, on the banks of the river Severn, in the late 1960's. I have not been back there since then, but its on my bucketlist.😊😊😊 A beautiful video, and country side.
Hello, nice to hear from New Zealand, I'll be over there in October to see my son and his family, I'll also be taking the opportunity to ride one of Steam Incorporated's special trains. Bridgnorth hasn't changed much since the 60's, it's still an attractive town with plenty to see and do. If you do get to ride a Severn Valley train, I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience, not quite the Manawatū Gorge, but never the less it's a scenic ride with some of the prettiest stations to be seen anywhere.

こんにちは、日本から連絡が来てうれしいです。これは博物館鉄道なので、手旗信号が使われています。幹線鉄道の信号機はほとんどすべて色灯ですが、私の地元の駅には今でも電気式信号機が設置されていますが、昔ながらの手旗信号機がまだ飾られています。
Hello, nice to hear from Japan. This is a museum railway, hence the semaphore signals. Almost all mainline railway signals are colour lights, although my local station is still graced with old fashioned semaphore signals, although there are now electrically operated.

Watched on my home theatre . Loved watching the video, But, the audio was mono , if it was surround sound , it would have been great!!!
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I use the latest GoPro cameras and to the best of my knowledge the inbuilt mics are mono unless wind noise reduction is turned off. I could use external stereo mics, but that would make it difficult to mount in the short time I typically have to set everything up, hopefully GoPro will come up with a suitable solution.
Very nice video.

Great Video. Travelled line many times. One note though, there is no 'E' in Bridgnorth !!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video; it is a wonderful railway, a real credit to all involved in saving and maintaining the railway for us all to enjoy. I will be uploading a replacement video with spelling errors corrected early next week.
Thanks for another great train cab ride video, Tim! 👍🏼🚂
Great video along this line, well recorded and great sound. Shows the SVR off well!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride and I'm really grateful to the staff and volunteers at the railway for their help and cooperation in making this video.
Great quality video thank you, drivers view is hardly from the front buffer beam though 😉👍🏼
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. “Driver's Eye View” isn't totally honest, but I use it in the title to indicate it's a forward view and the dreaded UA-cam algorithm picks up on “Driver's Eye View”, whereas it almost completely ignores “Forward View”. I hope you can forgive me for my little indiscretion.

Gee Tim, you keep going to my favourite railways! Did the SVR on our anniversary visit to Shrewsbury in January 2004. Went there again in 2006, although only took lineside shots, mainly at Hampton Loade, on a beautiful warm July afternoon. In 2004 the Severn was marginally flooding Shrewsbury and looked fabulously ominous and dangerous, especially from the big bridge - definitely not a swimming day, as there was frost on the slopes beside the shed roads at Bridgenorth when we arrived in the morning...
I've been a regular visitor to the SVR since I was a youngster back in the 70's when the line only operated between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade, seeing each new section opening all the way to Kidderminster was the highlight of many family holidays to the area. I'm glad this video bought back pleasant memories from your own visits to the railway. The Severn in full flood is a reminder that even today mother nature still gets the better of man from time to time, like you, I've seen the muddy, swirling waters rushing around the bridge parapets and felt a sudden desire to get back to 'Terra Firma'.
Brilliant
I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😊.
Adoro ver trens antigos, ainda mais, com estações tão bem cuidadas e com flores! Parabéns ,!!!
As estações, carruagens e locomotivas são muito bem cuidadas nesta ferrovia. Estou feliz que você tenha gostado do vídeo.
What a pure joy to travel this line and how the stations are kept so neat and tidy is incredible. Beautiful countryside of Worcestershire to take in en-route and seeing England in all it's glory. I know now why Sir Edward Elgar loved the county of his birth so much to help in his composing of the music he was so renowned for.
Hello, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, even on a grey day the English countryside along the Severn Valley Railway is beautiful.
I believe that there's a passage in Elgar's 'Introduction and Allegro for strings' that was based on the sound of an engine climbing a bank.
The Severn Valley Railway has needed video footage like this for a long time. Congratulations on making this happen. I can see me watching and listening to the sounds of my weekends enjoying the smell of steam.
The guys at the 'Severn Valley Railway' were really helpful, without their time, effort and fund raising, videos such as this one wouldn’t be possible. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride and I'm sure you'd be happy to join me in saying a big "Thank you to the people of the Severn Valley Railway; we really appreciate what you do".
@@Timsvideochannel1 Here's a thought a Class 50 Bridgnorth to Kidderminster
@@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway That would be nice.
What a picturesque route! When was this filmed, if you don't mind me asking?
Hello, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, The video was filmed on 20th July 2023.
It's funny how everywhere looks different when viewing it from a train, the Falling Sands Viaduct, for example, is a bridge we drive under all the time because we live very near to this railway but from up above it takes a few seconds to work out where you actually are, the only giveaway here is that big yellow building with 'Stock N Lock' on it!
The view from the viaduct is very different, but it doesn't include the best bit, the viaduct arches that can only be seen from road level.
Thank you!
Another great video, Tim. Many thanks for what you do.
Thank you Jim, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.
A nice ride, a green landscape, a great machine and then this sound: a symphony of tones that inspire every railway fan. Hello Tim, many greetings from Germany. 👍😊🚂🎶👏💯🙋♂
Hello and "Hi" from the UK, I enjoyed reading your description of the ride, it is spot on, almost everyone loves the sound of a steam locomotive 😊.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have posted a passengers eye view. I would send a link, but I'm away from my computer filming in Australia at the moment. Cheers. Tim.

Why is there a Parry People Mover on a siding at Highley Station?
Good question to which I don't know the answer, I looked on the internet where there is some information such as this article - forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4311&sid=32cceaed172d7a28dda60c7537fee820
I can only assume it was there for modification and testing.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Well, it isn't very far afield from either Stourbridge or the Parry factory. From the rather non-TOC looking livery, I suspect this is one from the factory; as I am not even sure Parry exists any longer. I might do a bit of research on this. Either way, Tim, this is another fine example of your work.
@@tsl56If you do find more information about it, I'd be interest to know more. There is also a chance that it has been donated to the railway. However you look at it, it is just as historic as the rest of the locomotives and DMU's on the railway.

I'm wondering, how does it come that the semaphore signal seen from the rear at 23:12 shows the "off" position (arm tilted in to the lower quadrant) for the opposite direction? Should it not protect against a movement leaving the station in the opposite direction of ours, that potentially could come into conflict with the train we arrive on?
Here in Italy, along the single-track railway lines without an electrical block (therefore managed with the telephone block or with a similar system), the semaphore-type signals of a given station were set free during the periods in which the station railway was "disabled" (no crossings, right-of-way, shunting, etc.) and the signals were not supposed to protect level crossings.
In fact, in the railway station in question we do not notice the exchange of the token (or the pilot stick) between the traffic operator (in Italy station master or movement manager) and the train driver. Therefore I suppose that at that moment the railway station was actually "disabled" and excluded from the distancing (that is, it did not perform the function of the blocks-system consensus exchange point, through the token-block or similar).
Signalling block systems enable the safe and efficient operation of railways by preventing collisions between trains. The basic principle is that a track is broken up into a series of sections or "blocks". Only one train may occupy a block at a time, and the blocks are sized to allow a train to stop within them. That ensures that a train always has time to stop before getting dangerously close to another train on the same line. The block system is referred to in the UK as the method of working, in the US as the method of operation, and in Australia as safeworking.
Token block
Main article: Token (railway signalling)
Authority to occupy a block is provided by physical possession of a token by train staff that is obtained in such a way that ensures that only one train is in a section of track at a time.
Ordinary train staff (OTS)
A driver approaching a single track section would get the token, and uses it as the authority to enter the block section. He would surrender the token at the other end of the section. This caused problems if one train was to be followed by another in the same direction, as the staff would not be at the correct end after the first train.
Ordinary train staff and ticket (OTST) or (OTS&T)
Ordinary train staff (OTS) was therefore extended: if one train was to be followed by another in the same direction, the driver of the first train was required to be shown the token, but not take possession of it (in theory he was supposed to physically touch the token, but this was not strictly followed). He was given a written authority to enter the single line section, referred to as the ticket. He could then proceed, surrendering the ticket at the other end of the section, and a second train could follow in possession of the staff.
There weren't many trains operating at the time, so there wasn't a need for all the block sections to be operational, some were switched out. When this happens the signals in that section are left in the off position almost as if they weren't there.
The sound is great with headphones on. Loved the journey, well done on ethe filming.
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed the ride.
Très belle vidéo. Il faudrait venir sur le CFBS (Baie de Somme) in France. Un mécanicien !

What does the sign at 16:51 (Black cross on a white background) indicate ? Many thanks in anticipation.
I didn't know the answer, so I asked Google and this was the best answer - a black St. George's cross on a white background indicates the approach to an open level crossing. www.railsigns.uk/sect16page1.html

You are correct in what you say, I use the term 'Driver's Eye View' to indicate it is a forward facing view.

Hadn't been that way since 1986. Wyre Forest Junction completely disappeared and the connection to the BSC sidings still there but the sidings long gone.
Hi, there have been a few changes since your last visit, but overall it's still one of the best heritage railways in the country.
How you hung on to the front of the train i'll never know.
"It wasn't easy, but somebody has to do it" is not the correct answer. I attached a small GoPro camera to the locomotive whilst I rode in a comfortable seat in one of the carriages.

Why does the line speed slow to 15 MPH in so many places?
The railway is built on a relatively steep sided valley next to the river Severn, this has resulted in very slow moving landslips such as the one between between Arley and Highley, which required a £1 million solution in 2017 involving soil nails and sinking new piling sheets. The slower speed does give passenger more time to enjoy the attractive scenery.
Like something out of the 1930s. Hard to tell the difference between now and then, when you're going down that track. Railway stations too.
The people at the railway have done a wonderful job in recreating a little bit of the past for us all to enjoy.
Amazing watching this in Philippines if you Google me Louis wall station gardener see what l did for our scottish Railways but l was a working member at Highley proud to spent so many happy times.
Hi, hope you are keeping well in the Philippines. I looked you up on the internet - ciltscotland.com/arcmr061216.php Railway gardens have become very popular, making ordinary stations look amazing.
What a beautiful journey, thank you.

Dark tunnel, no light. Welcome Bangladesh & see Bangabandhu tunnel in underground the surma river.
Where's the long boiler we should be looking down towards the track ahead? How is this a drivers view??
I call it a "driver's eye view" to indicate that it is a forward view.
No, I'm surprised you're still using a tablet. At first I thought it was a tourist route, but there are freight cars running. But it's taken well. Better position than the driver. It's important
The driver has the best view 😊.

Hi' I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, the 'Severn Valley Railway' is one of my favourite UK heritage lines, I especially like the smaller stations, they are set in some of the most scenic locations to be found on any preserved railway in Britain.

Great video. I liked the photo station tour at every stop. I’m going to visit this summer
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. One of the Severn Valley Railway's main attractions for me is the wonderfully restored stations, they are as much part of the railway as the locomotives. I hope you have an enjoyable visit, there is so much to see and do.
1 min 17 seconds : why does the
engine release big clouds of steam
before it starts moving ? 🚂🌫️☁️
🤔🙂🦉🚂🌫️☁️🦉
🇬🇧🦉🚂🌫️☁️🦉🙂🇬🇧
Hi, I started to write an explanation, then I checked my facts to make sure I'd got right, in doing so I found this well written description by David A. Davis, so I just copied and pasted it here - The steam you see coming out from the cylinders is actually controlled by the engineer, via what are called the "cylinder cocks". These are ports in the cylinder that can be opened to allow steam and/or water to escape, and the reason you would want to provide them is simple. When starting, a locomotive's cylinders are relatively cool compared to the incoming steam, and water, liquid water, will condense out in the cylinders. These cylinder cocks allow the liquid water, along with some steam of course, to escape, preventing the cylinder heads from damage or being blown off, as liquid water does not compress!

This could have been a brilliant video, but for the focusing. I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. The video needs to shot again with the point of focus corrected on the camera. The faster the engine the faster the camera has to focus. Consequently, when the engine is moving slowly, everything into the far distance is sharply in focus, but when moving fast the auto focus is only catching up at around 25m away. Just watch the video and at speed you will see the middle distance completely out of focus, only to snap into focus when the engine reaches less than 20/25m distance. This does not make for pleasurable viewing. I would suggest turning off the auto focus and focusing on the hyperfocal distance.
Hi, thank you for the advice. This was filmed with a GoPro 11 camera, it uses a fixed focal distance and the result when played directly from the original footage is both good and in focus, although ideally the camera should have been mounted higher. The footage played back from UA-cam is never quite as good as that I upload. If the chance comes my away again, I will shoot this film from a higher position. Cheers. Tim.
All chuffing wonderful. Lots and lots of stuff to go oogh at, but it was the wonderful quality of the track that most impressed me. Not exactly heritage, but it goes to show that the Severn Valley Railway are a proper outfit.
The Severn Valley Railway is doing a great job, like many heritage railways, traditional bullhead track is used in the station areas, but increasingly heritage railways are investing in modern track between stations to keep track maintenance costs down and give passengers a comfortable ride, the improved ride also reduces the cost of maintaining the rolling stock.

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. I looked at your channel, loved watching the old tractors, I grew up in a village surrounded by farms where I started driving tractors when I was only 12 years old, the first one I drove was an ancient Fordson with a scaper fitted to the back, it was my job to scrape all the cows manure to one side of the yard ready to be loaded into muck spreaders, as I got older I was trusted to do must of the tractor driving jobs around the farms at weekends and evenings when I wasn't at school. Happy Days 😊.
Muito bom gostei parabéns

Many thanks for a fantastic video ,I never ever dreamed about having a cab ride down the valley, I will be there next week for the Autumn gala
