Not guilty, I was just the cameraman on this trip. However, Emsworth can be a bit tricky in that the station rushes up on you at the last second, so it's important to get an early grip on stopping there. Add a twist of damp weather and the 1st generation wheel slip protection makes for interesting stopping.
Oh well!! I've got on a few times at Emsworth and once the driver forgot to stop i think and his rear 2 coaches were where it say 8/12 car stop. and it was only a 3 car 313
Does it ever get stressful in the cab? As a driver you don’t seem to have backup if you need advice or help - most other professions you have a team of people around you.
Your training helps to manage stress, but generally the job is 99% ok to handle unless something goes wrong and Joe Public kicks off. Then it can be stressful.
Great video! It's nice to see the view of the train journey you don't normally see as a passenger. Thanks. 😊😊😊
That beaten up old caravan next to Drayton Substation is still there. Walked past it today!
It is Clay Lane AHB not Cray Lane AHB. Cray Lane AHB is in Pulborough
Typo.
Hi! Do you plan to film any more locomotive ride videos possibly? Thanks.
Great video!!
What happened at Emsworth though?
you over ran your no. 3 stop. As it sounded like you were on a 313 which is usually a 3 car!!

With some of the sporadic irregular timings I'm not surprised.
What’s the video pack thing at the beginning
It's the route pack issued by TOCs to help drivers learn the routes. It includes information such as speed across points etc
