Short & sweet! The description is spot on. Tracking against a well known mapping system showed the well known biscuit factory, too. Part 2 awaited, like you at a Red signal. Thanks for sharing.
Firstly - grey videos. Love to watch them! Secondly, when you came to a stand at WM812 I have two questions: 1) That small two aspect on the ground with the right hand arrow seems to be out but with no cross through it. What's that about? 12:46 2) Shortly before the signal there's a square white sign with a black "20" in it. This doesn't conform to the usual speed limit boards. Is it a speed limit board? 12:36 Thanks! 👍
Thanks for the upload. Newbie question: does a human operator track the trains movements remotely and adjust the points or is it all computer controlled and a matter of just going A-B. Are you often sent the wrong way at points or would this be a serious incident? Thanks for your time. My son loves class 47's but Santa may soon bring him a 66 :)
In all signal boxes and control centres there are actual people who set the route and clear signals for trains to move, however there is also a system called Automatic Route Setting that is used in the newer control centres that looks at a trains scheduled and sets the appropriate route. The problem I find with this system is that it requires the signaller to intervene to override it, so most of the time they don't bother, so you end up being routed onto a slower line for another train to pass which is either not running or isn't about yet, only to be routed back out again without stopping, it would have been much quicker for you if they had just left you on the main route. In 6 years I've never had an incorrect route be set, but it can happen it's just not common. A drivers route knowledge should prevent this as they will know what route they can take to get where they need to be, it's then for them to stop and challenge the route given - assuming you can stop in time.
What qualifications do you need to be a driver because it has been a dream of mine. I am local to the merseyrail trains in liverpool and I really want to drive them when I'm older. Any advice is great. Thanks

Worked with a lot of drivers who have worked these routes nice to see them on film.

Class 66 sound alot like the Beautiful SD40-2!
Close but the 66 has a 12 cylinder emd 710 engine . The class 59 has the same 16 cylinder found in the sd40

I want to become a freight driver. But I have no idea where to look....
I presume the camera is on the driver's head.
