It's good to see how the driver manager interacts with the driver, he's got a good attitude and treats his staff with the sort of care and respect that you would want from someone in that position.👏👍🤝

I think you can work on the assumption that every one of these videos is narrated by Paul Tyreman, unless told otherwise

Spa films made this many other films like it. Paul Tyreman is the presenter and voiceover of many of their films.

The most telling of the heroics here is the fact that no one was injured because everybody involved did the best they could to avoid calamity . Well done, sirs !

You know what else has poor adhesion? The lip sync on this video😂. But serious, I’m glad the emergency services weren’t so stupid as to park on the level crossing/tracks as I’ve heard of some of them doing (in a rail maintenance depot at that).

Luckily there's a recorder on those or they'd have blamed it on the poor driver.

16:06 This is the shit nightmares are made of.

Had a similar incident at the Ferry with a 158 and no emergency services, trying to make a station stop in the early 90's. Was only doing 40mph due to a speed restriction, but still stopped well past the station by over a mile. Didn't fan the brake either. Recognise the Traction Inspector, or whatever they are called now. Pretty sure he trained me for HST's.

Anyone else said "jesus" at around 4:25 when he said it RIP

The whole video is out of sync with the audio!!!

I love the old iMac

Nooooo not the precious gritty boy 1:00

Another Paul tyremam train guide🤣🤣👍

Happy 13 Year Anniversary!

Speaking of poor adhesion it looks like the Wiltshire crash may have been caused by similar issues

De-interlace= Did not get turned on

I'm curious why no horn was used, surely once the driver realised the situation he was in , why no train in distress. ? Everyone would have heard a warning horn and realised a train was coming through.

Who narrates these videos? Are there any more? Pretty interesting! Thanks for the upload.

parts of this video the lips are out of sync with whats being said

SPAD=P45. SPAD=You'll be going nowhere.

Driver is probably thinking he’s gonna gonna pass it with out even put the break on it he knew it wasn’t going to stop and there was no way he was going to

Yikes. Not as bad as this but Portuguese Millipedes have been known to cause poor adhesion on Victorian railways, particularly on the Ballarat line. I can recall hearing some lengthy wheelspin from the DE loco while starting from several stations.

What's the tool used by the MOM at 14.08?

If you encounter some type of unexpected emergency you should use the radio to contact the driver instead of relying exclusively on the signaling system.

Are drivers legally required to remain inside the cab even if the train is on a potential collision course? Sending out a general stop alert and moving everyone towards the rear of the train would seem more logical

FYI en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_railway "For steel on steel, the coefficient of friction can be as high as 0.78, under laboratory conditions, but typically on railways it is between 0.35 and 0.5,[4] whilst under extreme conditions it can fall to as low as 0.05. Thus a 100-tonne locomotive could have a tractive effort of 350 kilonewtons, under the ideal conditions (assuming sufficient force can be produced by the engine), falling to a 50 kilonewtons under the worst conditions. " This is just off my memory and of course I cannot find the article in Google, but, LOCO wheels turn roughly 15% faster than the speed of the train. It scrubs steel which builds up behind the contact point providing 'starting blocks' /all the time. A bit like Rockets in space use the spent gas to push against with the fresh gas to provide forward force. The 0.05 was equivalent of a Car trying to brake on Ice. The AWS senses the wheelslip and immediately attempts to reduce power to the motors to recreate traction again. A person would not be even able to sence the slipping let alone react to it. I'm having AWS installed on my model 5" gauge LOCO. To me this is a good, invention, and I do not have a problem with it, but I understand that point of when does the human make a decision. To me theres too many bloody controls. So instead of Good / Having an Issue / Its screwed, and letting the driver decide what to do next, by the time they try to read all the dials, they've gone over the cliff as it were.

Doggie Hill or Jay Leno?

what is the concquence of a spad

Hope driver sounded his horn at least Just saw that he didn’t damn .. good he wasn’t blamed but if there was a casualty at the crossing he 100% would get the blame and possibly jail

so who is the guilty party if any?

AV sync is miles out.

3:15 Big mistake. You do NOT fan the brake controller on a WSP fitted train when you need to stop in an emergency. Just put it into the emergency stage and leave it there.

The video and sound go out of sync on this video

WSP can over react to slight adhesion. I have known trains to over run platforms when there is only damp rails. The WSP equipment will off load brake applications to a dangerous degree. I used to teach my trainees not mess about if their train was approaching a potential collision. on a 375 cross the cab kick the plastic cover off and open the air cock. Bypassing the electrical braking. By dumping the air at least you have the parking brake. I looked at many downloads where the WSP was not applying any brake at all.

:/

9:39 "With the benefit of 2020 hindsight" What the actual f***

He was shit,.... put train in full EM, EM on the radio, continuous horn,

Seriously? "Disaster"? Absolutely not. The derailment of ICE train 884 in Eschede was a disaster, 9/11 was a disaster. This was a minor rail traffic incident.

Nasty computer-driven train that was at the start. Disc brakes never were any good on trains, why on earth they never gave us sand boxes and a sand pedal instead of all this "Automatic Wheelslip Detection" rubbish I'll never know. A similar, though electrically - powered train, overshot Stonegate Station a few years back. They've taken most of the control away from the driver now. It's all done by computer so it must be good they bleat. Glad I'm now retired and don't use trains.
