I saw this video last night and commented to myself that I never noticed that engine bay door before. Then this morning I saw 216 in Drogheda on the Enterprise. Sure enough, that door was open!
To clear the air on the red signal. I can assure you that the train would be cleared by the signaler with written permission and clear instructions. As for the reliability of the 201's. They are near to 30 years old and perhaps a full overhaul of them via Progress Rail with new EMD 710 units or the Caterpillar C-175 units would be ideal and would meet Tier 4 emissions.
Nice video. I am surprised that they didn't run the loco around to the front and drag it to Dublin.

This is quite rare to see a double-headed Enterprise. Class 91's can work double-headed when controlled from the DVT...
It’s not the most common sight to see on NIR anyway, that’s for sure
no one noticed train departing on a red, because its starting ahead of a signal ! also 201 are failing lots nowadays

@@BritishRail60062 correct, authority number was required,👍
What happened to the passengers? I ask this as the coach is still attached.
Passengers were allocated to a 6 car 3000 Class shortly after the set was declared a failure
What was wrong with it?
Broken air suspension as well as an engine failure
Oh dear looks like the Belmond 216 loco has broken down
Shocker
@@TrainSpottingsNI yeah
