Really clear, stimulating pictures. What an exciting journey. We even had a "Light engine", and a Steam train to boot. I prefer the static captions, which were brief, compared to the scrolling version, when your eyes are drawn away from the action. Train noises were very atmospheric. Excellent.
Many thanks, Don for your wonderful cab rides, and for the highly informative captions - they are appreciated. You would have thought that the Leeds to York route would have been electrified long before now... Best wishes to you.
Nice and interesting for train fans all over the world. The captions makes an overall plus to the video and much more interesting to follow. Thanks a lot
Another excellent run and yes please for the captions of the stations and junctions. I'm working my way through all your cab rides and thoroughly enjoying them. It's good to get a driver's eye view as we as passengers don't quite get the full picture. I'd love to see a Cumbrian coast cab view.
Good ,clear captions, helps no end in understanding where you are in the video. I didn't know it was such a tight squeeze getting out of Leeds to the East, reminded me of Man Pic to Deansgate.
I’ve tried both and although I prefer the still captions, the version installed on my computer doesn’t have a dark shadow and gets lost on bright backgrounds.
swerve0910 Another great Don Coffey video. You really understand what we want to see. Already recommended your output to the regulars watching the York ROC railcam. Brilliant captions!
That’s excellent thank you. I’ll be coming to York several times in the next fortnight. I noticed the camera last time I passed. I’ll be editing the Scarborough to Leeds on the 68/Mk5A set next.
Another brill cab ride video! However this is my favourite so far simply because I actually live in York, and often go trainspotting at Bolton Percy/Colton, but I most often go to the car park on the right in the video at Challoners Whin (because it's really local to me!) Also, I think the Captions are a nice idea; it gives people who don't know the area so well some idea where they are. Keep up the great videos!
Great Video, nice to see this bit of track from a different view from the usual passenger view. Good to some more decent cab ride/route learning videos coming out as well 😀
It was a surprise and a joy to see! I’m surprised that you didn’t use the image at around 19:19 your thumbnail picture for the video! Also (and obviously) it’s another great video - thank you!
Superb video. Having travelled that line numerous times while on holiday in York, it's fantastic to see a forward view instead of a side window view. Wouldn't it be good if TPE could fit a forward looking camera and stream the footage out over the trains Wi-Fi so passengers could watch it on their phones or tablets. More captions please so we can appreciate what a train driver actually does do in the cab up front.
There are forward facing cameras but they are used for incidents and investigations. The videos have evolved and now have more captions in response to feedback. Cheers.
Don Coffey Well, since I discovered how to comment, I can let you know I’m here. My smart tv only showed full screen- or at least that’s all I knew how to do- so I didn’t know how to subscribe, like, and comment. I have been a fan for a couple years. Long enough to have watched many two or three times.
One of the conditions of filming was not showing how the train is driven. You might find it on SIM or other videos but you’ll never see it in mine, sorry Anthony.
Ran this video today alongside Realtime Trains display of the same train. The consistency of driving was quite amazing, otherthan that today's train was 5 mins late. Passing the various waypoints on your video was matched by the times on RT. As to whether captions are useful or not, I'd have been struggling to match actual with recorded without them. Please keep them.
Supplementary: I think the train you were driving was a late running Middlesborough service. The train I followed was a Scarborough service (also late running). The Scarborough route cannot be accessed from platform 11 at York and there was an ECML service pulling into Platform 5 which the Scarborough service uses. The observations above remain the same.
Better than the Video125 version where they missed out East Garforth completely. bit ticked off because I live there and love the place. This one is much nicer.
The stretch from Neville Hill through to York should have been electrified years ago (i.e. at the time of the ECML electrification). Not only would it have allowed for trains to run to the far North VIA Leeds, it would have provided an alternative route if there were problems between Donny and York. Can't understand why it is still wireless?!!!
Good quality interesting video. I like the fixed captions which are very useful (not a fan of scrolling text which can take too long to read and is distracting IMO). Wonder if it would be better to zoom in a little as the fish eye distortion was a little excessive and even at low speeds the scenery seems to come rushing past. Sorry to be a bit negative as I enjoyed it very much thank you.
I agree entirely. The problem is that the GoPro only offers limited zooming but yes, there is a “ground rush” effect. I have limited options on the installed software so these captions are a love or hate thing. The general opinion is more towards love so until I get something better or develop a very good BBC voice, I’ll leave them in. I do appreciate the feedback though - good or bad!
Yes thats it. One of the new 800 series bumped the back of and older HST on the way into the depot. They have a strange rule that allows several trains to follow the leader into the depot and apparently the rear driver took his eye off the ball. He’ll be well and truly in the bad books!
Re comment regarding ECML Diversion: l am sure these were the first 125mph switch points ever installed in Britain. They were part of the ECML Diversion scheme that took the through route away from Selby (late 1970s?)
Hey Don. Great ride....just thundering along. A few questions. How are the required speeds indicated to you ? I don’t see any trackside signs.Maybe my Ipad screen is too small. Also, I’ve often wondered where your attention is mainly focused. I imagine it is on the signal lights. I find that I am looking at the points so that I know when you are switching tracks. Not that there is much you can do if the points were wrong so I wondered if you just have to trust and pay attention to the signals. I love the sound of the power unit gaining speed. I imagine night time really focusses you on the signals. Do you watch train videos from other countries. I do..in Japan, Germany, Australia, Norway, Austria and Vietnam, to name a few. One time in Vietnam a train ran into and killed a farmer and three water buffalo as there are no trackside fences. Thanks again for the great videos.
The speeds are either indicated by signs or by route knowledge (we take intensive exams before being allowed to drive over a route). Sometimes it is the back of a sign on the opposite line. As a driver, you tend to know how to focus your attention, it changes as the situation changes. Of course, the cab warnings as well as visual make you step up your concentration for restrictive signals. I occasionally watch other in cab videos, mainly for comparison.
DEFINITELY WITH CAPS PLEASE ALWAYS WITH CAPS!!! ITS A LOT MORE ENTERTAINING AND YOU CAN FOLLOW THE JOURNEY ON THE MAP! GREAT VID BTW. I DO THAT JOURNEY ON THE WAY TO WORK!
The later ones have captions Harry. I’ll be revisiting some of the earlier ones and updating them with captions at some stage. I’m working on other videos at the moment.
In any train vid from Europe or Britain, it's odd to see buildings butted right up against the track. (I mean homes and businesses, not grain elevators or signal boxes). I live near Dallas, which is the very antithesis of "historic," and there was plenty of room when the rail lines went in.
No. A bit of forward planning that never came to fruition. All the ARCHED bridges were built with the intention of quadrupling but in fact it never happened. Each of those stone bridges is a work of art in my opinion.
@@doncoffey5820 Just out of curiosity, on the run out of Leeds just past Cottingley towards the Morley tunnel, there's a big curve run. What speeds do the trains take the curve at? That's always a fun run coming out of work :)
A 185 with 3 engines running gets to 75 just under the M621 and we keep that over Cherwell Viaduct and well into that curve which you will no doubt feel. However, the speed through the platform at Morley (not Moreley is I goofed it in the video!) is 45 so we have to be on the brakes toward the end of the curve.
@@doncoffey5820 I do feel the speed around the curve and am impressee that they take it so well. Thanks for the insight Dan you're doing a great job with this channel. Keep up the good work!
The similar units that operate where I live certainly don,t reach the speeds that they do here ! I think they are limited to 70 mph by track conditions.
@@doncoffey5820 The 185 series you have there are very similar mechanically to our V-locity trains we have here. They also have the Cummins QSK19 engine so plenty of power.
I prefer captions as I can tell , via this map www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php?lat=50.61206&lng=-2.46006 ,the actual location/s. I'm from Australia and have learnt a lot of UK geography from the map as well as videos like yours. Please keep them coming.
Always better with captions, didn't see a captions of where the line to the left went just before entering York. Watched your York to Leeds without captions, didn't enjoy as much.
Looking at Google Maps/Satellite, it appears that the line to the left leads to a freight yard and then rejoins the WCML (which does a big sweeping LH curve out of York station.
Yes, they are various audible warnings that apply to signals or vigilance. Don’t forget that in thick fog or snow a driver may not be able to see the signals until he is virtually passing them.
Maybe they will at some stage Nigel but you could do that on the current alignment. We do 90 towards Leeds no problem but at the moment it is 80 until just after the platform in the York direction.
Don Coffey Let’s hope so! When a local service is sent ahead of an express it’s really annoying having to follow it, sometimes all the way to Church Fenton, unless it’s a Selby stopper which obviously bears right Micklefield. If Cross Gates had through roads it could be timetabled in to do that. Local goes five minutes ahead and the express zips past at full whack!
Tell me about it! ;-) I seem to get behind the stopper every time but to be fair, since December, there is some slack so even after following, I arrive at Selby on time - mostly!!!
Really clear, stimulating pictures. What an exciting journey. We even had a "Light engine", and a Steam train to boot. I prefer the static captions, which were brief, compared to the scrolling
version, when your eyes are drawn away from the action. Train noises were very atmospheric. Excellent.
Thanks Michael. Thats a very early video, they’ve evolved a bit since then.
Wow, fast train into York. Quick and smooth. Thanks for the video.
I like reading the captions, it's tells us about the journey and sometimes the history of the railways. Please keep the captions.
They all have captions now James, only the very early ones didn’t. More coming soon.
I find the captions very interesting and informative. Thank you Don for great videos.
Much appreciated thanks.
Excellent video made all the better by your location and informative comment captions. Good for those of us not local to area.
I like the captions. Not too many, very interesting and not on screen longer than required. Brilliant.

I think Video 125 might do one of that route. Its a Northern Rail route which I don’t go over.
Excellent, thanks for your efforts with the very helpful captions. Some amazing trackwork at the 125 mph junction!
I’ll be revisiting that with slight revisions soon.
Another nice one. Thanks Don.
Cheers Ray.
Watched the reverse of this without the captions and it is definitely more enjoyable with them, the extra information is handy to have :)
I agree Ian. All the later video’s have captions. The next one showing a run to Crewe should be out on the 8th of this month.
Good ,clear captions, helps no end in understanding where you are in the video. I didn't know it was such a tight squeeze getting out of Leeds to the East, reminded me of Man Pic to Deansgate.
Thank you! Always appreciate non-scrolling captions :-)

Bonus was the steam engine waiting to enter York.
Excellent cab ride video. I like the captions.

Great run. It is better with captions.Thanks for posting.
Back in n the 1970s when I used this route regularly this service was often hauled by class 47 locomotives.
I remember seeing them off the M1. Long time ago but I would say 1993 maybe.
@@doncoffey5820 What traction is this?
Captions are useful, especially for spotting locations! A grateful Antipodean here.

In a lot of cases, they evolved together but now they are squeezed in all over the place.

Nice video. I would keep the captions.
Nice! I'm pretty young and wish to be a train driver :)
Excellent. Prefer with captions.
On the climb our of Leeds,looks like there was a lot of four tracking judging from the bridges ?
No. A bit of forward planning that never came to fruition. All the ARCHED bridges were built with the intention of quadrupling but in fact it never happened. Each of those stone bridges is a work of art in my opinion.
Room for HS2 then.........................
Why didn't you have to slow for the 30mph temp limit?
The restriction is signed 30/100. The 30 only applies to freight. We (Class 1) continue at 100 along with Class 2, 5 and 0 trains.
Why are some of the stations empty? No pax
Maybe the stopper just passed but Church Fenton and Ulleskelf are often quiet.
Great video! On the 3 junction approach where you said line speeds allow 125 mph, can the 185 reach those speeds?
No Jamie. We have a top speed of 100 mph but the new 802s are good for 125 when we get them.

Leeds could really do with some more Eastern approach tracks.
Yes, when you compare the Western approach, you can see it is a proper bottleneck with no easy solution. We sometimes wait quite a while for a path.
When is this line going to be electrified?
Hmm, at the moment that isn’t certain. We’re waiting for an announcement.

How come it keeps making that noise in the cab Dosent it get so annoying listening to it
Which particular noise?
The beeping noise in the cab it kept going off I don’t mean the horn I mean the other beeping noise
Hmm. I’m afraid those are normal noises Jack. If you ever ride in a train cab you’ll have to get used to those.
Why do they go off is they a reason
Yes, they are various audible warnings that apply to signals or vigilance. Don’t forget that in thick fog or snow a driver may not be able to see the signals until he is virtually passing them.
Scintillating.
That’s a fair old accolade. Thank you.
Leeds: 6 tracks one side. 2 tracks the other (but only for a few hundred meters)
This needs fixing.....
It is a major bottleneck but very difficult to fix. Luckily, most services depart to the west but yes, it does cause problems.
It’s high time the through roads were reinstated at Cross Gates! You could easily have 100mph running through there, maybe even more!
Maybe they will at some stage Nigel but you could do that on the current alignment. We do 90 towards Leeds no problem but at the moment it is 80 until just after the platform in the York direction.
