Most appreciation for the video and kudos to the Londoners on their extensive and high quality trains and metro/rapid transit system. The interaction amongst the trains and the elongated routes at high speeds is most impressive. I wonder if the people of London have an appreciation for their train network as a person viewing same, having only a video experience, for one here in the States doesn't have anything as high quality with beautiful trains running on third rails for such long routes.
London and the South East of England has a great train service but unfortunately this comes at the expense of the rest of the country. Although there has been some improvements in the North of England recently, it's still extremely substandard compared to Londons rail infrastructure.
And for the fans of Pink Floyd, the most known and famous coverdisk is here!! - Batter Sea Power Station at the begining of the trip on the left side. An amazing and iconic building. Thanks for sharing. Greets from Brazil.
Really fantastic to see this perspective of a journey that I have taken so many time before as a passenger . The view in the tunnel with the exit slowly coming closer is fascinating - almost hypnotic. I noticed that in my journies the majority of drivers sound the horn on entering the tunnel - doesn't seem to be the case here. Is sounding the horn at the discretion of the driver?
@@Meeyuh THANK YOU ...was driving me mad trying to figure out what it meant ...it just changed so random from say 19 to 36 for no rhyme or reason ....again thanks
A train stalled over a gap in the conductor rail of an electric railway is said to be "gapped". This occurs when the shoes on the train which collect the current have all lost contact with the current rail due to gaps left for junctions. Particularly prevalent at complex junctions such as the entrances to yards. See also conductor rail. A driver who has "gapped" his train will always be the subject of ridicule from his peers. Knowing where the gaps are is part of road learning.
Thanks for the notice, the video has been resubmitted by electrostargeorge as his own work, but he couldn't even be bothered to remove the credits from the video. Has been reported as a copyright infringement to TH-cam.
@@stephenrozario5742 Google it 😁 it's a type of network protocol I believe. I think the R is for Railway. The GSM is global system for mobile communications, it's what mobile phones all used to operate data transfer on.
How can I order route packs R01, R03 and R04? * Pugs Hole Sidings, another good name there I haven't heard before. You can see it's a 442 in the mirror @ 19:55, I wonder which one it is?
It means that the telephone provided has restricted clearance so must only be used in an emergency once you've stopped trains on the other line. Lineside telephones have mostly been superseded by in-cab radios now.
I have looked in Railfaneurope.net to try to identify this loco/train-set, but can't seem to locate it. What type/class of locomotive is it that you rode in to make this video? Thanks, Dog
It's not a 460 but a 442, you can tell because of the hissing you often hear, which is the "automatic air brake" venting the train pipe (which applies the brakes). Class 460s don't have these types of brakes.
You know what blows the most, since lifespan of a train is like 40, 50 years for the next few decades these are the speeds and trains that we will see. There will be no substantial improvement until all people watching this video are very old or dead.
Better than air travel. That has got Slower since the demise of concorde. Not only that but speeds in the air have remained static for decades and will continue to do so for some time to come.
@@timfy2162 I know this is a 5 year old comment, but even back then Aviation was about Range and Economy not speed. And in terms of range and economy, aviation hasn't stopped developing at an incredible rate since. Speed was deemed impractical, outdated and costly. After all, the faster something is, the more fuel it burns. And when it comes to aircraft, you generally have to pick between high speed aerodynamics or low speed ones, because designing for both becomes very technical and costly. Fine for a military aircraft where reliability isn't an issue if you have the right numbers of aircraft. Not really viable in a commercial application.
People just haven't got the time to scratch their ARZES eh ! Faster faster ! These sorts of speeds are perfect though not on the motorways it seems, the lemmings like to court death it seems. This is a great video thankyou, ( how does this man know all of that information, I don't see it written on those signals ? 🤔 )
Watching this always makes me want to fall asleep, so relaxing. The way trains work and how routes are planned out are so amazing.
0ne of the best, loved the commentary, knowing where i am and whats happening makes my day.
A fine video today. Always remember when I used to travel to the UK from USA. See you on the next. Cheers mates! ❤️🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

Wonderful video - great information -thanks from Canada

Calm and informative.
Great video, thanks. Drove this route a few times during my training. Don't drive any more these days but remember it well. Enjoyed it big time. ;-)
Nice video mate! good one!
Great videos
That's great, I enjoyed that. Cheers.
Fantastic HD Quality Thanks!
Please upload anymore at all that you have, especially @ 1080p! :)
Wow all this went right over my head! Seems so complex to be a train driver
Liked and subscribed cool video

Gave upon this one, have to stop and chat to every signal along the way !!!!!
Excellent work; thank you!
What are the black diamonds beneath the speed limit for?
It's a marker board for the cab secure radio area that the train is in

OUTSTANDING ! ! !

But the length of the trains was supposed to avoid that.....

well is it your own work either? looks to be a southern official video to me.
The I shaped objects or connecters embedded in the track are these expansion joints?
The black diamonds indicate the radio frequency setting for the NRN radio link.
Needed a vid like this
Brilliant, wonderful, most educational. What's the number below the speed indiction?
That used to be the area code for CSR radio, replaced by GSMR.
What does csr stand for
What does GSMR stand for
@@stephenrozario5742 Cab to shore radio possibly?
@@stephenrozario5742 Google it 😁 it's a type of network protocol I believe.
I think the R is for Railway.
The GSM is global system for mobile communications, it's what mobile phones all used to operate data transfer on.
love this
I see that frequently a UK 'junction' is in fact a US 'interlocking'.
Could u upload one to Bognor Regis?
How can I order route packs R01, R03 and R04?

You can see it's a 442 in the mirror @ 19:55, I wonder which one it is?
It was a 442 used in the video as the star wars trains went into hiding but it would be better if it was filmed in a 73 mk2 set
I am just wondering what the x means just above T93 please

This video is also at TH-cam account electrostargeorge
Aw I must find a different video, I don't know where this man is getting all of that information from, I don't see it written on the signals 🤔
Nice job. I am getting so I can actually understand that guy. Pretty soon I’ll be eating crisps.
I think that London Train Trips Look better then the Austrian ones do or it might be just me
what does gapped mean?
i think, having a driving car of the emu with no contact on the 3rd rail due to be on a set of points where is not possible to provide electricity
very cool

Dana Mack Is an old Gatwick Express set made of Class 460 EMU.

What is 1 in 64 in %?
100 divided by 64, or 1.56%
Thank you.

What's your hurry? I've ridden this train in both direction several times. Always a nice respite from the rush of people going nowhere.
