- Disruption and Unusual Workings:
Carlisle after Storm Jocelyn
Class 56s on Logs
Rare Low Level Nuclear Waste wagons at Carlisle
Delayed passenger trains
Tesco hauled by Class 88 Panto Down
24 January 24
Storm Jocelyn hit Carlisle but especially the hills north and south on the night of 23-24 January with most passenger services halted for most of the morning.
Locos were out route proving.
A DRS Class 86 went to retrieve a train of low level nuclear waste containers halted at Wigton - very rare to see these wagons and containers at Carlisle.
The Class 88 on the northbound Tesco intermodal arrived and departed on Diesel Power!
An MOD train passed through en route to Southampton.
A Nuclear Flask train heade to Sellafield with a pair of support coaches

Another great video. Always fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Lovely mix Les, very unusual to see the low level contamination wagons!
Many thanks! Yes especially as the containers are only ever used once!
Another great video les i love your videos , excellently done and very professional well done some good captures there matey in the very inclement weather you have put up with lately superb , nice to see the logs are still getting through ok and some of the more unusual stuff getting along ok thanks for sharing Les top man . take care a t b syd👍
Many thanks Syd!
It's been a while since I commented on one of your vids, sorry. Anyway, great video filmed in difficult conditions in a great location. If I could I would relocate to Carlisle in a heartbeat. However I cant so that was a pointless statement lol. I'm sure you know what I mean though. Watching your vids is the next best thing to being there. Greetings from the south coast, regards, John.
No worries. I will admit once I retired and we had the opportunity it was the ideal place to relocate to! Glad you enjoy them
Nice scenes from Carlisle Leslie, very enjoyable viewing. Jeff.
Thanks Jeff
Another nice vid Les, some great workings there. Hopefully be back up there in the summer
Thanks Kev. Look forward to you returning
Some interesting workings Leslie. Don't often see an EMU running down the shunting neck.
Its unusual but not rare - happened a lot last year when TP services were terminating in Carlisle for Carstairs.
Excellent catches there Les 👍
Many thanks!
Amazing video, the storms seem to have got platform 1 closed, did you manage to catch anything of 37409 this week? Also the flasks which were stuck at wigton due to a fallen tree finally made it this morning instead! Again amazing vid
I managed to miss 409 completely - partly due to the weather and then on the Wednesday morning it departed half hour early while I was driving into Carlisle! Still you caught 409 ok. The big highlight for me though was the train of low level containers.
@@LeslieGilpinRailways yes my dad was going to get a clip of it for me during daylight but he also missed it because it was esrly
Wow... quite a storm to create delays. Looks like a lot more freight was delayed than the passengers. Still, some grand shots. I remember outracing a nasty thunderstorm on an ICE3 in 2019. Trains after us did get delayed.
The freights got stuck when the lines became blocked. But the passenger trains were planned not to run in most cases. Made a change for TransPennine to be the hero between Preston and Carlisle!
You have really caught the unusual this time. Newcastle trains running from where the Barrow usually do, the TP going down the neck and waiting in all the different places, 88 running diesel. All I didn't see was the progress on the pools demolition and any progress in restoring the station's main entrance... Great spotting. Monday looked really close to the railway flooding again with the state of the River Caldew. Let's hope for fewer jostling storms.
I agree we need some settled weather! You could just hear the noise of metal being cut at the pools but to be honest I didn't film back there. Maybe next time. There's been no progress on the station front nor on the damaged or replacement entrance (which I believe is delayed again). The Newcastles using Platform 2 usually happens once or twice a week to transfer a coast line unit back to Heaton depot or vice versa. Coast line trains can't run into Platforms 4-6..
Great video les, nice to meet you on wednesday.
Many thanks, good to see you also
Very interesting 👍🏻
Glad you liked it
Love your channel, out in all weather's always something goin on at Carlisle ,37418s out in a new livery hum not to sure , hope you might catch it for the channel, I've just subscribed and keep up the good work.
I keep a look out for the 37s but the weather and trains being let out very early have prevented me seeing Loch Awe. Thanks for subbing and watching
@@LeslieGilpinRailways your welcome.
Hi Les, I am a subscriber, as I like your well made videos, the variety in Carlisle and especially the freight workings.
Am I right to assume the log train took to the Carlisle Settle line so as not to impact on the WCML workings ?
You are correct, If it does run WCML it often spends a lot of time in loops . Thanks for your kind words and glad you enjoy the videos
Very nice spread Leslie.
Thanks Andy

Bom dia lelies movimentação de trem bom
Thanks!
Another cracking video leslie very good camera work as usual I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on TH-cam bye for now Philip
Thank you very much! new one soon (once I've recorded it!)
Nice 🥰🤗👋👍
Thanks 🤗
15:37 - I've always wondered where each line is going looking at this junction and ignoring where the 397 is going...
It's going to be WCML S&C and where else??
From the left, Newcastle / S&C (split at Petteril Bridge), ahead WCML, right the line to Maryport, Workington and the Cumbrian Coast to Barrow in Furness
Wonder in the current climate if the flasks have gone bk to carrying armed protection hence the carriages. Nice selction anyway.
I think its a more subtle reason. Naval flasks for or from the submarines are accompanied by guards. Otherwise the flasks to / from power stations and from overseas are unaccompanied.
So the 88 puts out 17.5 percent of its AC power, how does it get the intermodal moving!!
I was hoping someone might know. Remember a 350hp Class 08 shunter has the same start up power as a large steam loco - I suppose the computer on board can make it happen - however I have no idea when the pantograph was dropped so no idea if it ran at speed on diesel.
On Wikipedia they specify 940hp for the diesel engine, so on that basis I suppose it should be able to shift it, although like you say at what speed??
Keep up the good work Les!!
According to Railway Herald they are having problems with spares for the 88's. Two of the fleet not being in service for 18 months!
Evidently DRS have plenty of Class 68s to spare! 😀
I think they have sufficient but still sent an 88 to Sellafield!
I like your video’s Leslie. But I don’t think I’ve seen one yet where the trains are running normally…. It seems that every time your videos come out , the “JOB “ is up the creek. Passengers up there, must be at their wits end, with it. 😴😴😴😴👍
I do produce the 'usual day when nothing goes wrong' but on the passenger side it does become rather repetitive! If for instance the Log train is held in the station anything up to half a dozen passenger trains will depart on schedule in the space of 30 minutes!
66305 - show just how dirty hard working locomotives get!
All those who say "that model is too heavily weathered" need to get a grip on reality and actually go look at the real stuff!
ABSOLUTELY FILTHY!❤️🤩😂
Its strange though, GBRf locos are usually among the cleanest. Must have been on a mucky engineers job
@@LeslieGilpinRailways the rear looked clean too, must have been front facing for a few miles!
The 66 needs a wash
Unusual for a GBRf loco
@@LeslieGilpinRailways I know
