Yes, I saw them there as well. Hopefully, it will be replaced soon. You and your colleagues do a good job keeping the station looking clean and tidy and well presentable at Somerleyton it's always good to see

I had to do this as I hadn't been over the route for awhile so I requested a drive over it to keep my current on the route

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck that explains it , just thought crikey he ain’t saving a planet 🌎 going that route thought when you left Ipswich you would go Woodbridge Blyth Lowestoft. Any way you got there safe and that’s always the main thing. Thanks for your reply. Take Care . 🚂

@kenboyooo Unfortunately we are not aloud to run over the East Suffolk line via Woodbridge during the day as we are restricted to 20 Mph over the route and would cause delays to the passenger trains, thank you for watch and you're welcome to ask more questions anytime

Glad you enjoy them and thank you

Point is noted and I will not skip the commentary if I make one like this again thank you for watching and raising this

Thank you very much

@JL-rx6hl This was recorded on a tamper which runs at a slower line speed then the passenger trains

@petersharpe3186 being limited to slower speeds than passenger trains does mean it takes us longer to get places

@daviddeniseskippings1054 I've been past the two remains of the bridges this week while on holiday

@thomassmiffie3132 I was due a refresh on the route or it would be taken off my route card

@phwbooth glad you enjoyed it

@petertate8366 cheers

@robertbrierley7083 enjoy

@martyn6792 thank you

@tonywise198 cheers will do

@johnwiesen4440 thank you

@cutter004 Max of 6 Mph its like being in one big worksite that never ends

The clearance was 3 meters and the boat height was 2.75

Will do thank you

@JL-rx6hl completely different machine's/Vehicles so you cant really comparer the both of them as the speeds are set over points for safety

We was lucky to capture it

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck you were indeed

We get a few waves as we pass always happy to wave back or give a blast of the horn

@robertbrierley7083 Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the channel, When I started this channel it was to help myself and other drivers with learning routes in are area of work but it has far surpassed this now and I have been asked this a few times now so I will have a look and see what could work

@chrisfrost8456 am not sure but I think that it might just be standard practice now as a fail safe set across the board

Usually diesels are inserted into the consist to provide 'Hotel' services, i.e. electricity/heating to the coaching stock. It's also required by NR as 'insurance' against failure, as costs for delays and disruption to scheduled services costs a fortune, and it's the charter company that foots the bill.

With the wet weather we have been having it is not unexpected but there is a team going round cutting back the vegetation

Glad you enjoyed the video. I am hoping to eventually capture the whole of Anglia so at some point hopefully I will do Acle

No we was booked in there so they could run a passenger train past us

Yes it's not as nice as the passenger trains, you can feel the bumps in the track

Glad you enjoyed them 👍

That I believe is just different sounds you can hear as I can honestly say I only sounded the whistle before I moved at the start and not again till I had to which was much later on

@Rabchog am glad you enjoyed the video I am working on a more detailed one of the machines we use in Anglia but there is one on my channel already that gives you a basic explanation of what it does

@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck I've seen your video of the tamper working, another great video showing it in action. A few years ago I used to go to Whitemoor yard to deliver sand and pick up recycled ballast, I worked for Frimstone at the time. The High Output Ballast Cleaner was sometimes there, with it's self loading and unloading wagon sets. Also a Flash Butt Welder, which I believe is no longer used.

@Rochog I've not been up to Whitemoor Yard yet but I think I've got to move a machine to March in a couple of weeks so I will be looking to capture that and am currently waiting to see if there is going to be a change in tamping machines we currently use in Anglia before I make a detailed video on them

@mitchellgiffard1978 thank you for watching am glad you enjoyed the video, you never know they might extend it that far one day

As and when I can 👍

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck Looking Forward to them

The machine is limited to 60Mph

It was a transit move as the machine had been working out of Romford at the weekend, but it then needed to be moved to Lowestoft, ready for it to work on the East Suffolk Line that night

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck Do you then return to London by passenger train? Thanks.

On this occasion we got a passenger train from Lowestoft about 06:30 in the morning before the move to get us to Romford in time to do the pre departure checks

I had to refresh to Yarmouth as I hadn't been over the route awhile. If I didn't, it would be taken off my route card

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck that explains it, a great video with plenty of looping etc

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck and those beautiful swing bridges

I was lucky enough to see inside of one last year and see the inside workings of it

No wonder the railways are in such a state if you have to do routes just to be allowed to do them! thats like telling a car driver "well, as you havent driven on the M1 for a while you are not allowed on it anymore" come on all you have to do is accelerate and brake, the signallers do all the hard work setting up the route for you!

@tonywise198 Glad you enjoyed the video and the Reedham Signal is a bit ruff to drive over, I don't think there are any plans to renew the track there any time soon

That what I was going to ask, for want of a better description why did you not go right coming out of Reedham?

I had to refresh the route as I hadn't been over it for a while, and if we don't keep up with our routes, then you can not go over them

Yes it was

I bet he had some stories to tell about that

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck To be honest i barely remember, he's been dead for 50 years. But the Germans stuck in my mind and the time to London, plus he liked the winters more than the summers, too hot on a footplate in summer. I don't suppose you have so much trouble with Messerschmitt's now?

Haha I would be a bit worried if I had too, I have been told stories of trains being used as target practice for the American A-10's when they was based in Suffolk

@john45305 That is from the Network Rail Stoneblower it leaves a strip of yellow paint a set distance apart to mark where it is working

@30041946 Thank you for watching

@johnpinfold4413 Not to take anything from your great pun Notwork Rail👌but I believe it is Murphy & Sons who are in charge of construction there

@rickmeyrick4357 Thank you for watching. I am thinking about doing a short video of just Temple Mills to Stratford and have more information in it.

Yes we ended up being in the way as we was meant to stay on the Electric's down to Gidea Park and then turn back but we was crossed over onto the mains early

@ds1868 That is on my list to do at some point

​@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ckthanks for that. Apparently there are plans to upgrade this stretch of line as part of East West Rail. No details yet though.

@@ds1868 Am not too sure I believe they are currently renewing the points at Chippenham Jn
