High speed WCML Freight action here! Lichfield TV is a good place to see freight trains passing with lots of speed - Today was no different to with a good mix of diesel and electric action on a bitterly cold winters day.
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

That was me driving 88003 on 4S44 - I was being assessed as part of my final passout to become a driver! I had my final assessment six days later and passed - I’m now a fully qualified train driver! 😊

One of my favourite aspects of these videos is actually seeing the people on the platforms, watching in excitement. It's so cool seeing these kind of freight trains

This video could be a snapshot of UK's current balance of trade. Traffic from Southampton (imports) looks to be running at or near capacity whereas traffic to Southampton (exports) looks to be running at nowhere near capacity and is hauling empties to be filled with imports. Really good video though!

Nice to see you caught the new Whiskeyliner return train (4M50), this was the first day it ran and was deliberately planned to have 66587 leading with matching boxes loaded at the front!

The cars will be going to the Speke freight terminal next to the retail park. It’s next to the Ford dealer I worked at 22-25 years ago. We used to get all the damaged in transit stuff to fix off the trains and trucks

Hi Chris, how many got damaged roughly out of interest..?

@@trainsplanes there was quite a few in fairness. The damage ranged from light scuff to complete total losses. I recall a Mondeo ST200 being crushed on a double decker train, A Escort Estate being dropped from the top front position of a truck on its nose

@andrewbrown6786 Жыл бұрын

A great place to shoot freight - though I would dispute the term ‘high speed’ - nothing looked to be running at or exceeding 75mph. When we run these trains at 100mph or 125mph, then it’ll be high speed

@trainsplanes Жыл бұрын

Hi Andrew, 75mph is the capped speed for the majority of freight on the WCML - Thats plenty fast enough when you are up close to them.

@koksy Жыл бұрын

I thought they covered cars up on trains to stop metal fragments from the track/wheels/brakes settling on the car paint and rusting?

@trainsplanes Жыл бұрын

They don’t seem too bothered nowadays. Must have analysed the damage rate and worked out it’s cheaper to run them in lower cost open wagons. 🤷‍♂️
