Not The Footage I Was Hoping To Record It’s Never Good Seeing A Brilliant Loco Having Problems. It Sounded Very Unusual On The Outward To Preston And Was Stuck At LAncaster For A While On The Return. Eventually it got moving again before running into trouble again around hest bank before crawling into carnforth. All Good Now Tho As 403 Was Back Out A Few Days Later
LONG LIVE THE 37s

Back in the 1040's I'm not sure if they had invented coal or water. I think the planet existed but not the wheel. What's a camera?

I was stuck on that train for 2 hours at carnforth right in front of the station but we couldn’t move into the station. It was probably the funniest thing that has ever happened to me on a train. It was boiling hot in the coaches because there was no AC and there was no free water or anything. Thanks northern 👏🏻.

Push-pull operation was in use between Glasgow and Edinburgh for many years using Class 47s. There was a nasty accident at Polmont in 1984 when a train with the engine propelling derailed after hitting a cow and 13 people died.

@@alexsteel5959 No it didn't. The Edinburgh-Glasgow services were push/pull class 47s until at least the early 1990s. Class 86/87/90+DVT combinations were in use on the WCML until 2006 and the London-Norwich line until this year, and class 91+DVT is still on use on the ECML.
