That showed the Pendolino or whatever it was! It was slowing to a stop, but even so! Thanks for the thrills.

There was a bridge carrying the Wigan bypass line years ago, don’t know where it was

I assume this was a light engine because the acceleration through Crew station was incredible.

It certainly was. 47593 to be exact.

Interesting section of the West Coast Main Line. I could only wish that it was being filmed from a steam locomotive rather than a diesel, but one man’s meat is another man’s poison!!

A BIG thank you just loved that! going sooo fast for a change! just asking how fast was that? was it the 110 that was on the side? part 2 yes please!

@RailMart 3 жыл бұрын

No. It was at 75 mph. Which is the maximum permitted speed for a loco on its own.

How do the signalling system work? Is it all those bells and whistles that I’m hearing?

@GeoffArnold1 3 жыл бұрын

It was striking that in half an hour traveling north on such a major route we didn't encounter a single southbound train. (Except for the oil train parked in the loop.) Is this normal?

@RailMart 3 жыл бұрын

6:08 Hello Geoff. Southbund Pendolino. Also the oil train was actually cement.

@@RailMart Thanks. But even so, just one (moving) train on the Up? Curious....
