Ahhh my go to for insomnia, this guys voice is perfect for getting to sleep, I’m serious it’s so relaxing, like listening to the shipping forecast but this is understandable, educational (should I ever change careeer) and I love it. 👍♥️

Fascinating! I've never seen those tunnels in such clarity, even despite the VHS-level quality of the recording

Interesting video especially the stock interchange track linking northern and wirral line together. I believe this used to be the old wirral line going from hamilton square to central via James st and when the loop line got built, the stock interchange took it over.

Yes, I think so too. I travelled between New Brighton and Liverpool Central many times in the mid 1960s. At that time there were no branches between James St and Central. Trains from the Wirral travelled directly from James St to Liverpool Central (Low Level then) Platform 1 (All Change) they then disappeared forwards into a "Reversing siding" and re-entered the station at Platform 2 to load for the return journey to the Wirral via James St.

I love how the video takes the audio from the train crew on the day - happily talking about a suicide at 6:25

The drive was making reference to the moment not an actual suicide

The state of the tracks in and around Birkenhead depot leaves a lot to be desired.

16:25 the switch is in the incorrect position

Looking at 16:26 , it looks like the train goes against the turnout blades - are they sprung like LT turnouts ?

The points are hand operated/not locked if I'm looking correctly, so running through them would be like changing them by hand and shouldn't damage them, as it would normal points?

This is a driver training video for adverse movements. This training video covers less commonly used movements for reversals, shunts and single line working should the driver ever need them.

How hard is it to become a tube driver? I am an American.

@dustybinproductions4779 6 жыл бұрын

MrEkg98 this network is massively different to that of the tube, not to mention the trains themselves (Classes 507 and 508) which are of the Sub-Surface or Standard train gauge whereas the Tube type trains only seen in London are shorter in Body and Bogies. Not to mention this network having only 3rd rail electrification and not 4th rail. But to answer the premise of your question, to become a driver on any railway network here in the UK you have to be at least 21 years of age (expect for the London Underground which is 18 years of age) and for most of the time it can take any length of time between 2 and 4 years of training to drive.

@caramelldansen2204 Жыл бұрын

@@dustybinproductions4779 To be fair, I can see how a foreigner might assume "Tube" is a general name for underground railways/metros, and not what it actually is; the _specific_ name for London's underground metro.

Merseyrail seem to like their conflict of movement operations

This particular training video covers less commonly used movements for reversals, shunts and single line working etc. It's useful for the drivers to know them as there can be occasions where they need to be used to keep services running.
