- This video shows a day of trains at Carlisle station, first we have 2 TPE class 68s, one on an engineering train and one on a RHTT! Next there is another RHTT with 68006 & 68018 we then have some class 66s. Later on there is 2 class 37s, 37685 left Aberdeen alone, it then picked up 37518 along the way at Perth, then we see both the 37s couple up to 47813, the 47 is then started along with 37518! We then see them depart Carlisle station.

Thank you for watching the video, if you enjoyed please feel free to like and subscribe! Thanks!
I don't know why, but 68s on RHTT always looks like punishment duty.
"If you break down on Shap, you've gotta do a month on the dirty tankers"
No problem for the 37s, of course. Typical old 'uns, they'd be constantly going on about how it's a doddle compared to Welsh coals on unfitted wagons back in the sixties.
How is that beautiful building so neglected?
I know TPE are short of drivers and units but have they reverted to the old fashioned way of carrying passengers in open wagons? (68031)
😂Not quite, TPE are going to be stopping using the class 68s in December, when they do stop they are going to be returned to DRS (who own them but just leased them to TPE). However a few of them (4 I think) have already been returned to DRS including 68022 & 68031 in this video! Thanks for the comment!!
The engines grumbled that night in their shed. ''I've had my beautiful front cut open and cables stuck on it'' complained Lady Penelope. ''I have to haul trucks full of logs'' moaned 70811. ''We're express engines'' asserted Resolution and Hornet ''And they make us pull half a dozen trucks around and we haven't been washed in weeks''. The engines decided they'd have to have a disposition and speak to the dietary challenged Controller.
Carlisle is and always has been one of my favourite stations. Great to see so much loco activity.
Yes there is a pretty good variety at Carlisle!
Can't believe all that public money spent on express locomotives to clean the tracks
They stop other trains slipping on leaf debris, the locomotives are used all year round on other duties for example intermodal trains or nuclear flask transportation! They are not just used for RHTT. Thanks for the comment.
great video but are my eyes failing or is this blurred!,
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing when i watched part of it, for me youtube seemed to have put the video on a low quality setting automatically i think u can change it by clicking the little settings icon on the video then choosing a higher quality! Sorry for the long response, hope this helps!
They could have given those 68’s a bit of a clean before they sent them out…where the hell have they been….??
They have been doing RHTT duties, (These trains are used to clean leaves off the line) the reason they are so dirty is mainly because they spray water at high speed on line to remove the leaves but a side effect of that is that the locos get coated in dirt! Thanks for the comment!!
But where are the gronks, its all about the gronks
There are none at Carlisle sadly
The 68s. The biggest victims of nimbyism in 20 years 😂
OH HOW THE MIGHTY have fallen a CLASS 68’s in TPS colours pulling CARGO 💔💔💔💔💔💔 AWFUL
Especially when South Wales to Manchester are often formed of 153's.
The TPE stock quality has gone down a peg or two..Cattle class!! Lol
Cracking video!
Always puzzles me why RHT locos are always dirty. I get the fact the line is being sprayed & any rubbish on the line may fly up into space but yeah - why?
I think you are pretty music right as far as I can find out, I think they get dirty because the water is sprayed onto the line at high pressure and then the water gets dirt in it which then splashes back up onto the loco, that’s what I can find out / think! Thanks for the comment.
You know how grimy cars get in winter with muck and spray
WOW ! 3:52 on. Dats a lotta lumber !!!! 15:00 'blow up', the modern form of 'blow down' ! 17:59 Ya coulda at least let us watch the points (blades?) change ! Why'd ya stop the camera just when !? Just joshin' wid ya...Nice Brit pix....
Certainly is a lot of logs, And the log train runs almost every day aswell!!
Is there a competition to see who can drive the dirtiest engine?
Haha just seen another RHTT
Love the colour reminds me of the western s in the lively great memories
Carlisle always been favorite train spotting place for me😊😊
Great! There is a good variety of trains at Carlisle!
Yer ive always had good few hours up there and train ride back home to wirral@@TRAlNVlDEOS
68 Trans pennine been demoted, presume this will have a repaint in time back to DRS livery ?
The TPE livery is just a vinyl, underneath is a base coat of blue I assume they will pull off the vinyl and maybe add drs logo over the base coat blue, just like they did with 68007 when it left Scotrail! Thanks for the comment.
Nice video great camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time bye for now Philip
Thank you, next video should be out tonight, hopefully featuring 37607!!
Thanks i will keep an eye out
Very good video
Thank you!!
Lovely pair of 37s!! One of the more attractive locomotives!! Why are they hauling the 47?
Yes I love 37s too!! 37685 & 47813 went up from Carnforth to Carlisle earlier in the week for route proving (checking the route is clear) during Storm Babet, 37518 was doing the same in Scotland. 37685 then continued into Scotland and up to Aberdeen! This video is taken a few days after storm Babet had passed and they are hauling the 47 because they are all heading back to the depot where they are based at Carnforth! Sorry for the long response but I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment!!
Love the video! That trio of the 37's and the 47 was just brilliant. So good to see these older loco's still in use on the mainline...one hopes they'll stick around for a while yet!
Yes I hope so too!!
That WCR convoy is great!
Certainly is!!
Not the great train of yesteryear, but nicely seen, better filmed and more economical than less modern trains.
Your right, but all the locos in the WCR convoy are 59/60 years old!
Class 47, 57 & 68 have to be the best sounds
your right! But what about Class 37!
@@TRAlNVlDEOS just not as smooth as a Class 57 in my opinion
@@Scouser89Liverpool22Yeah, I suppose so! Thanks for the comment!
I’m absolutely besotted with the 57, -- I sat in the cab of one of them , and started her up……amazing sound…..😅😊
@@1960dave1960 that must’ve been amazing!!
What's a RHTT?
Its a Rail Head Treatment Train, It sprays the track to remove leaf debris from the line to stop trains slipping! Thanks for the comment!
That's nice a loco with my late cat Felix's name on it!😻❤
Sorry about your loss, but it’s very fitting because Class 68s Are nicknamed cats aswell!! My cats are called Hendrix and Ginger! 💙🧡
Love Carlisle station...looking at the loco stabling area I take it the wall at the back used to be roofed back in the day
Yes it did removed I’m 1957 (i think)
@@TRAlNVlDEOS thank you for the info
Why is a tp express pulling freight?
All the TPE Class 68s are leased to TPE by DRS. However TPE are stopping using Class 68s in December so they will all be returned to DRS. At the moment a few (3 or 4) TPE Class 68s have already been returned to DRS (including 68031 & 68022 in this video). Thanks for the comment!!
@@TRAlNVlDEOS thank you for the info very helpful! 😄 the class 68 is a great workhorse
@@JDT-19933 Yes it is!
LOL: It seems to be getting dirtier and dirtier the farther into the video.
What a wonderful livery.......
A great catch. Well done.
Thanks!
Didn't think DR'S were hauling RhTTs this season, anyone know who the operators are working the RhTTs?
DRS are definitely hauling RHTT this year in cumbria and York area
Even now the 37s have a fabulous presence outshining all the new breed of power units. what better picture could you have than that 47 and 37s trio! Unbeatable. Great bit of nostalgia filming my friend....just brilliant well done.
Thank you!!
The guy in the hi-vis observations don't appear to be particularly good
Why?
All very well captured. Thank you
Thanks!
Carlisle?
Yes, I’ve added info in the description now! Thanks for the comment!
Awsome😊
Thank you!
12:43 what's the clicking? always wondered.
Sorry for the late reply, I think it is the spirax valve, which essentially drips away any condensation in the air system in this case I think it is coming from either 57307 or 47813! 👍
@@TRAlNVlDEOS Thank you for the response and it seems you're right.

My curiosity has been quenched :D
You have not added location .. unless you are local you would have no idea which station you filmed at .. pity, as you filmed a good selection of trains.
Sorry, I missed off the location, I do normally add it to the title. This video is filmed at Carlisle, I will add it to the description now, Thanks for your comment!
@@TRAlNVlDEOS Thanks for your reply. I actually made the comment just after I started watching, but after a few minutes I realised it was Carlisle .. but that's only because I've been there a couple of times recently (from Newcastle .. having bought Northern Rail Sale cheap return tickets at £3)
Regards from Whitley Bay
@@brianmorrison9168 Great! The cheap tickets are good and make it easier to travel!
