Happy memories mate!!
What a lovely trip x
Nice video. Are you a driver there or did they just let you drive? I’m hoping to go to the next DMU event in November.
Thanks. I’m not a driver at the ELR. It was a private event for DMU drivers from other heritage railways. I can definitely recommend their DMU events
Fantastic steam train and wonderful scenery😉👍️✨
Super video :)
It’s thumper
Is there any better sound?
I don't know why there's such a fuss about whether they're still EMUs. Of course they are, even if they're not actually being powered by third rail. I'm more interested in the description of 7105 as a 4-CEP when it appears to have a BEP trailer...
I was thinking something similar. How were the BIGs numbered? 70xx? Or were they 73xx? The VEGs (79xx) were modified VEPs with extra storage for Gatwick?
It's definitely a BEP. I used to keep an eye out for them when studying in Portsmouth in the late 80s. Always gravitated to the buffet car on trios up to London. Great trains
When do they run the slam door stock?
That sure was quiet. What's the motive force for rolling the engine?
Ive rode in one of them to Reading they were very noisy
Is it not pemitted for Heritage railways to install live 3rd rail systems on safety grounds ?
@@DavidDewis Heritage railways will never be able to pay for a 3rd rail electrification.
Looks like they’ve been restored to working order
Great video, she’s a beauty!
Great video, can’t beat the good old 117, Captured the lovely sights of the CVR 👍
Very nice trip
Great video mate!
That brought back memories of travelling Greater London areas with my dad as a kid in the 80’s. He was a Kent man also. I can still hear the doors closing and clicking.
😊
Southern green...lovely.
Thank you for this video . The last part brought back memories of my travels. Nice vid. Miss these kind of EMUs in Portsmouth and surrounding area's
Question (and I suspect no one will know the right answer): Since privatisation, how much money was spent painting trains due to changing contracts/ToCs rather than simply keeping a version of BR's paintworks then putting decals on them to say "This train is operated by XXX" (the way London buses have the operator on the engine cover)? Lovely video though as these old Mark 1 EMUs and DMUs are part of the post-war national story in a way. Just a shame so many were simply scrapped rather than used, say for example, as static "museum rooms" at major train stations (if such a thing could be done, I mean, if you know Tynemouth on the Tyne & Wear Metro I've always thought one of the platform bays could have been a mini-museum to the Tyneside Electrics).
I'm no Financial Expert but it would've been alot , more than 3 million likely. most companies didn't even change anything. (As seen in Alot of Services Out of Waterloo in the Early years of Privatization.) Some Companies did Repaint most of their Fleet (Connex SouthEastern) And some didn't. Southern did a little bit but that's it because most companies didn't bother. About the Cost , it would've been around 9 Million since Repainting is A Little costly. And Yes , Alot of companies in the first 4 Years did slap their logo onto BR Paintworks just like EMR With EMT in the Late 2010s.
When the tynemouth station was originally built there was a third route that ended at tynemouth when traffic was lower on the other 2 routes. Over time they stopped using it because they went with twin routes in order to maximise the number of available rolling stock. Plus tynemouth has one of the biggest markets in the entire north east of England on the station every week. The reason that the tynem platforms are way bigger than the trains is because the original station building was built by LNER during the 1920’s in order to allow access to tynemouth docks back in the day and it was used extensively in world war 2. Also the total department of transport figures are 35 million right now and it was a copyright infringement issue for the logos. It’s immaterial anyway because the railways are being renationalised in the uk under the name Great British railways on the 1st of January 2025 and the old br logos are coming back in full not just on preservation based services. The Twin Directional logo otherwise known as the double arrow will be back in force.
Great video Simon!
I well remember the 4-COR/4-RES/4-COR formations on the Waterloo-Portsmouth services. They stand-out as the most comfortable trains EVER. Thank you for showing 3142 on the move.
How is it EMU where is the 3rd rail
Batteries in the MLV.
What railway is that its beautiful
East Kent Railway
It is lovely to see your engine My boat Gorse has the same engine I believe
@@TheScpotter thank you, I am trying to find someone but not easy around here
Could do with a bit of grease somewhere
Nice shots, but can they still be called EMUs?
One of the units seems to be operating without a locomotive. I don't know how it is managing it without a third rail!
@@TheScpotter and to think, "old" technology like that is now being used on the converted D-stock LU trains
much of the the transformer, rectifier and motor seem intact on these trains - and its not like the signaling system has changed since they were around, with little effort they could run on the mainline under their own power/
No transformer or rectifier..they ran on DC..unlike their OH cousins north of the Thames
@@paulking9734 my mistake
Excellent video Simon!
Thanks Josh
Very cool vid ! 👍😎
Fantastic footage, love the aerial shots, wish I could be there!
Thanks David. The drone definitely gives it a better perspective
This is tremendous. Well done indeed!
Thanks Mark
super video
Brilliant...
This is AMAZING
Thanks Josh!
Great video, good drone capture and refreshing to hear the sound of the engine over the background music.
Yes, we love the Caldon Canal but didnt have the clearance to go through Frogall Tunnel, having to take the footpath to reach the end of navigation instead. At least we can now say we had a virtual cruise through the tunnel on Dorado!
Narrowboat Clips thanks for the comment. Frogall was a great experience and as you know, the canal is stunning!
@@TheScpotter one of our favourites. Dorado looks an interesting boat as well
Loved It!
That oil gauge reminds me of the one we had - showed a reassuring 20 lbs even when the engine was not running.
cool
Nice cant wait to see the thumper, I be coming to see the emu,s and my favourite 4cep or bep, in the mouth to come cheers
