Excellent! I was nearly stranded up there a few weeks before you filmed this (28 February 2018) due to the Beast from the East. Just managed to get home to West Yorkshire before both routes out of Scotland we’re closed for several days.
I few happen to become casualties. ScotRail runs a inspection trolley through to remove the casualties in case it distresses the passengers. How many passengers were there in total on that run? We don't see how well used the line is & whether it covers staff costs in the winter months.
@@NJPurling in the summer the trains are packed to the brim with tourists - hence the introduction of the Class 153 bike/luggage/ski storage and café vehicles to be added to the most popular services. In winter it's just the odd local going from village to village or home from Glasgow
Great video, going over Rannoch Moor was a total whiteout, pity you had to get "off" at Spean Bridge, it's less than ten minutes to Fort William where you could have ended the video, nevertheless, I enjoyed my run in the train from Crianlarich to Spean Bridge
This is a superb and beautiful videos and I notice you have filmed four, at least on this channel. I hope you may do more, and was wondering, do you plan to film any additional videos like this in future ? Best regards, Dana.
For the protection of not just this driver but all drivers, there will never be a publicly available answer to that question, apologies about that but in respect of being able to obtain footage like this id rather not shoot myself or others in the foot :)
So, can anyone answer this please? At 9:50 - 10:00 the points are thrown for the passing loop and the train runs over them without derailing? How and why??
These points are sprung loaded so when the train passes over them the points move to the correct position, this then means that you don’t have to touch the points as a signaller meaning less time wasted and less to worry about.
I find that GoPro studio’s have a process on the MP4 that makes it quicker to upload, but aside from that can only think that changing internet service provider might help,
You'd be correct. They're spring loaded, so they don't require any actual control. They are moved by the wheels as the train passes over in the reverse direction, and simply spring back into position once the train has passed. Look up Radio Electronic Token Block on Wikipedia, it's the system they're using here.
Look at the front of a class 156 sprinter and you will understand why its like that. The cab is divided by a passenger walkway so that when units are joined together passengers can walk the length of the train.
To sit at home and watch this is amazing
Long been one of my favourite lines but to see it in snow is fantastic! Thanks for uploading!
Absolute Magic... Thank you my friend...
What a lovely and wonderful video ! Please keep filming such videos such as these ! Thanks, Dana.
Absolutely fantastic
You can just sit back and relax watching this do more pls

Where there is avalibility to film exclusively like this i shall :)
That windshield wiper certainly isn't in any sort of a hurry, is it? lol
whoa :D
I'm in Cornwall and if we had a tiny bit of that snow..all trains would be cancelled..or stuck for hours!..Cornwall Devon Somerset would be at a halt
@R F Railtrack will stop at any excuse snow, leaves, just search for Dawlish station sea wall fiasco to get a handle on the way they run things
@@WELLBRAN 👍
Great footage of the route, tell me if you don’t mind me asking did you ask the driver if it was possible to film the route on the day? :)

Is token issued by radio? I cant see anyone walking out to collect the token from the station?
The full line from Helensburgh to Oban,Fort William and Mallaig is radio controlled from Banavie.
So, can anyone answer this please?

What can I do to upload longer videos quicker than waiting hours for it to upload
I find that GoPro studio’s have a process on the MP4 that makes it quicker to upload, but aside from that can only think that changing internet service provider might help,

Is that a dead deer on the track at 31:37?
Unless it is just me thinking this but i seen at Bridge of Orchy and Rannoch the points were not set corectley

Looks bracing
Has anyone ever seen the movie Runaway Train?
What’s that got to do with this
Disappointed to find the left third of the cabin blocking the view. 👎

Awww, you poor thing. Talk about a sense of entitlement. Enjoy what has been offered. It's cost you nothing.
@@droge192 Yes, and it actually gives a sense of perspective.
