Wirral TOMCC Ride to Bear's Paw 211024
A bad day for red and black Triumphs! My choke kept switching itself on, then my mystery electrical fault returned with a vengeance and finally the gear lever fell off just as we arrived at the Bears Paw in Warmingham. When we came to leave, Mark Lafferty's battery had drained itself flat. Luckily Peter had a jump starter with him.

    One of my earliest locomotive memories (1973?) was standing on Brombrough station (a few miles from Hooton) and seeing a 40 (or 37?) come thundering under the bridge headed toward Birkenhead. Amoungst the more familiar DMU's it looked magnificent and dramatic. Every time i used that station in the following years of my childhood, i remembered that moment and would gaze at the bridge span, which now lacked rails which were lifted shortly afterwards - I only remember them being there that one time. Presumably a relic of when Birkenhead Woodside still took express trains from London(?)

    Question at 2.20 why are the home signal and the ground shunt signal both cleared at the same time therefore signalling a conflicting move? I don't understand why the interlocking would allow it. Thanks

    • @djp252
      @djp252 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The shunt signal in both directions is operated by one lever on the ground frame, the signalbox controls the home signal. A ground shunt signal being cleared doesn't imply that the line ahead is clear

      The train has come out of Pentrefelin yard. The signalman has to pull a lever to release the ground frame there, after which the train crew set the points to allow the train onto the mainline, then reverse a signal lever there that clears a ground shunt signal in both directions. The home signal on the bracket then has to be cleared by the signalman to allow the train onto the mainline but no other signals can be operated until the ground frame release is put back @@anthonywarren4225

  • @Embracing01
    @Embracing01 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I can't believe this footage has so few views. I think footage like this is historically important. What saddens me looking back here to now is how much freedom we had then. To think you could get very close to the track, no fences, no stupid barriers and "Passengers must not pass this point" signs at the end of the platform, none of those weird spiked ridge things that they have now. There's no way you'd be able to stand on the slope of that plaform on a station today. I''ve seen some stations where half rhe platform has been fenced off for no apparent reeason. All this health and safety is just about controlling people IMO. I've noticed that most of the road overbridges and even bridges crossing the tracks at stations they have been altered where you can no longer see over and watch. It's ridiculous. Also the stations still had some character to them, now they are clinical and soulless looking with ticket machines, ugly regional rail company colours, metal seating and CCTV cameras everywhere. The trans now are futuristic, soulless looking.

    Thanks for uploading this. The only footage i've seen from the Rocket 150 Rainhill event in 1980 is from a TV news broadcast. It's a pity you never filmed Sir Nigel Gresley as I believe that A4 was there that day (a rare sight to see an A4 class steam loco on the West Coast). I bet most people in Rainhill have completely forgotten about this ever taking place. I live fairly locally in Wigan and I never knew about this until a few years ago when I stumbled across a photo.
