A beautiful weather day for this video. Love them. See you on the next! 🇬🇧👍🙂🇺🇸
update video liked very much. Take care.
Thank you. It’s appreciated 👍🏻
Great video emmo, very nice journey, brilliant imfomation which I love👌, that tunnel and viaduct were stunning 👍👌😀
Thank you for uploading. It's good to have a variety of passenger and freight drivers Eye views.
Never realised those driving tamping machines got to see more obscure ways to get from A to B than a trainload of spotters!
We find shunts nobody ever uses 😂😂
I used to live in Beckenham until we moved to Canada in 1965, and have not been back now since 1995.
My grandfather used to take me to Beckenham Junction to watch trains, and occasionally go into London, which I also did on subsequent trips back. I have fond memories of the EPBs, but did not appreciate them enough back then.
I have always been fascinated by railways, and have recently rekindled my interest in British railways.
I'm used to seeing the sideways view. The forward view is much appreciated.
The EPBs are much missed, their last run on the juice being in 1995
You really have the best job, you see everything(especially in the summer). Great video again thanks😃
I don’t get out in the daytime very often, which is a shame, as there are so many more routes I can film. I was out late last night from Hastings to Ashford. That’s a lovely line, but at night time you just can’t see anything, making filming pointless, which is a shame
Epic journey of many parts! Thanks for a great ride and commentary.
Thanks for the comments. The next part should be uploaded in a few days. Just need to find the time to finish the editing
Excellent video I really enjoyed it 😀
Cheers. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
@@emmo999 your welcome
Excellent . Clear and informative,
Thanks for the kind comments
I love it video. Good job.👍🏻.👍🏻.
Thanks for the comments. It’s appreciated!
1) Don't understand why anyone would give this sort of video a thumbs down......2) unless perhaps they were one of your passengers during the 20 minute "booked wait"??
All my videos get thumbs down. I have no doubts some people delight in just doing it for ‘fun’. Hey ho. As long as people enjoy the content, that’s what I’m here for. Some of my colleagues also use them to help route refreshing. It’s all good
@@emmo999 as far as I know, the downvotes still count as "engagement," hence the "edge lords" aren't having the effect that they think they are.
Super widok, uwielbiam oglądać nowe miejsca✋👍 😘
A u mnie spacer po mieście 😊☀️☀️☀️✌️✋
Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Warszawy Polska 🇵🇱😘
Another very enjoyable video, including a view of my house at about 6:20. But you shot through Bickley so quickly, I can only get a good look by hitting pause :-)
I used to live near the line between Bickley and Bromley South too, although you couldn’t see the house from the line
excellent video!
Thank you!
great video thank you.
Cheers. Thank you. Next one is being edited together and should be up in a few days
Very good good to watch
Nice one. For some reason, I was expecting Tonbridge, Redhill and Guildford again. I guess you needed to be the other way round this time.
Bizarrely the routing for this journey was Hither Green, Orpington, Herne Hill, down through Streatham, East Croydon to Redhill, then across to Guildford and Woking. Somewhat long winded!
Planning the routing for your trips must be an 'interesting' exercise for someone - to what extent is route knowledge a factor as you take some combinations which most drivers would never need to see?
Indeed. Final say is with Network Rail, who fit you in among already scheduled trains, hence our hold at Kent House, which although this might not seem obvious here must have had a knock on elsewhere along the route where they would be unable to get me out the way. Fortunately my route knowledge is pretty extensive, but, if need be, a conductor would have to come along too for the bits the driver doesn’t know
I don't suppose the ornate graffiti was a stipulation of the college? :)
Probably not, no 😆
What are we riding in ?
A tamper as per the thumbnail on the previous video. This video is part of a longer journey from Hither Green to Woking and has been separated into shorter clips
Would it be possible to put a request for a specific cab ride route?
You can try, but it can be awkward to get specific routes. What is it you’d like?
@@emmo999 anything on the south western railway reading line?
I’ll see what I can arrange
crazy Pidgeon bird strike? 09:45 mighty close
Haha, that one got away, thankfully!
@@emmo999 Great video, thank you for posting
Glad you enjoyed it
I find it ironic that they 'loop' you, to let a slow stopper past, which then proceeds to get n your way, causing you to crawl along!
Yes, I share that frustration. It quite a long booked stop, and I guess they were concerned the shunt at Herne Hill would get in the way? Passenger trains will always take priority
