Paul Osborne 25mph is the limit on the Dean Forest Railway so we're not supposed to exceed that (the steam locos do because they don't have a speedometer)
Exactly, ask away. Got a cab ride Lime st to Crewe,, I was Pway,,, but not on duty. Dad blagged a Euro star,, going on holiday. He was footplate staff though. ASK,,, they can always say no. Lonely, one man operation. !!! Nice vid Kev. 👍😎🐢
A ride about as slow as when they were used with Mk1 coaches on Leicester to Norwich services. Truly a line that time forgot. Can a 31 actually manage 90 mph?
How did you get a cab ride? or are you only now aloud them for passenger trains? because my cousin drives the EWS Class 60 and 66's and id love to go on a ride with him on one.
awh right. yeah that's very true :P. only thing is health and safety is ridiculous and he does freight work, such as taking coils, tankers and coal to various places.
Love the driver covering up the speedo with his diagram when the camera was watching ;-)
lovely ole 31 's..!!! :) ~ may they go on forever, Nice little ride too..
The cup adds a certain homeliness to it all!
So true!
Great video. This must be the cleanest 31 I've seen. At 1.47 Those wagon are a bit overgrown.
Yeah, most are a bit grimey and well used to say the least!
A great video you capture the sights and sounds just right cheers
Old 31 sounds great, whistling away, great video.
The real macoy
love the piece of paper placed over the speedo lol
I wonder why..lol
1:11- such a shame to see 73002 in such a state
Agreed, even a decent tarpaulin is better than left to deteriorated in the open air.
Having driven a Class 31 I kind of know what lever does what but I was only limited to 25mph

1:10 - Driver appears to have green to proceed, before road barriers have started dropping. Erm, is this standard signalling practice?
nlo114 yes it is. That is just the way our barriers work. We are allowed to proceed at a white or green light.
Taken on my birthday also! :)
That is clean, did someone's mum get in there? lol
It would be clean not for the Aston Villa sticker
What are the oblong lumps in front of the left and right hand windows for?
They cover the windscreen washer jets I believe

Looks like one big scrapyard !!
Looks awsome!!!!
