As a train driver for GBRf, I can honestly say that I love my job, I have driven both simulator and real class 66. You did great and glad you enjoyed your day. Stay safe Daniel
22:40 "I realized the customer is always right so therefore I tried to get to the job as early as possible." Priceless. Daniel, for a first time in a simulator of that level you did good.
"Somebody parked their van along the way, but you know when people need their material, they need their material, so the van was removed from the train line by force" best line this episode 😂 Great video
As a newbie in the world of construction and health and safety, im doing my NEBOSH CONSTRUCTION and your contents have been of invaluable help in understanding the course and prepping me for the exams and practicals. One love
love how positive you always are man, like the how well you'll do, not how bad you'll do, little things like that really change the mindset for the better. thanks for always staying positive man.
Love this video! I used to collect the old Hornby train sets as a kid and people used to bully me, nice to see that I’m not the only one interested in trains and planes, Daniel Ashville you are a legend!
I know this was two years ago but I really enjoyed watching this, good serious commentary all the way through explaining what you were doing, loved the moon walking bit with the “stop the train now” from the signaller… 😂
Daniel you are not normal, that is intended as a sincere compliment. Inspiring and interesting as always. Glad you had fun, that was great. Fun fact for you, it would take nearly 3,300 of your train deliveries to deliver the equivalent weight of the largest pyramid which weighed nearly 6 million tons, remember they moved it all with just people power, shows what can be done with the right motivation, lol
As a class 66 technician you showed pretty good control and better than I see from some of the professionals at some points, key thing to remember is that the brakes don’t react instantly either on or off like a car. It takes more anticipation. Valiant effort though
Well explained while in the simulator, i enjoyed that as speaking on step by step is handy for remembering. Thank you im glad i came across your video :)
Nwwww what a lucky guy you are! I never ever had the chance to drive in a real train simulator with all the realistic Instruments and so on. I´m officially jealous ^^
Daniel you're probably absolutely excited about your train driver experience at GBR frieght, lovely stuff 👏😎👏 Your next mission if you wish to choose as you're near the major internatonal Airports see if British Airways could fit you in for flying Simulator experience that's always been in my wishlist to fly a 737cargo air frieght lol
I’ve been a train driver now for 3 years and the training was the hardest and most intense thing I’ve ever done. That being said it’s also the best job I’ve ever had and will ever have. Great money, great perk and loads of time off I’d recommend it to anybody 👍🏻
Yeh in the real world if your unfortunate enough to have this incident it’s a full service brake application and blasting the horn, not much else you can do sadly, I’d personally be straight out of the cab to put as much distance between myself and the crash, you’d also make an emergency call to immediately stop all trains in the area and summon emergency services, you would not move the train, great video all the same though
this was great, made me laugh :) . as for owning your own train, try getting hold of one thats heading for scrap, but aim for one thats not needing too much work doing on it....something like been scrapped due to no longer needed. all in all it all, it depends what you got for budget use. ive known many a bus/train enthusiast (more bus than train though) that buy up their own....you got the addition of knowing folks in the industry, and that can be a great help at times.
Great show ashville. I hope that you would consider buying a Class 60 Diesel Locomotive in the future. They are fantastic trains like the Class 66's :). GBRF are a great company to deal with and I would love to have a go at driving that simulator myself :).
Had no idea Daniel could fly a plane! So impressive you find the time to do all these things, it's like time moves at a different speed for you!? Next year Daniel trains to become an Astronaut. Probably not the best idea to touch someone's mic with your finger..
Well done, its not easy, so much to remeber.On the road stopping is not much of a problem with a train not so fast and your destroy anything in the way before you stop, nice video
Wow is that train layout your Daniel? I just bought a train set. Every year since 1976 when the intercity 125 rolled out, I asked my parents for a train set of one but I never got one, maybe because I was a girl, I don't know 🤷🏼♀️ but anyway last month I just bought my first, a Virgin intercity 125 at 50 years old!! Yes that's me, not the age of the train. My children are now adults and they've had the same train fascination as me. I spent their childhood parking near level crossings and stations. I am so happy to finally have my train, I need my husband to get some plywood for my track to be tacked onto. I am so envious of your experience Daniel. I'd love to just be a passenger on a train, it would make me so happy.
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Shows how different it is from the perspective of a simulator to real life! Shame about the Network Rail van. 😅 Looking to get behind the controls of a train? How about a volunteer railway. Many only require you to be there once every two months or so in order to keep your train driving license current.
That was an awesome video! The only thing i noticed is that you underestimate how low the friction is with trains. Once you're up to speed you can just cut the power and you'll keep going barely losing any momentum. Awesome job moonwalking out of the station though!
GBRf should give Daniel a cab ride in a actual class 66 to his yard so he can experience it first hand. Would make for a great video
Yeah good one, Shotgun ride from the yard to Ashville.
Agreed!
indeed
just dont put a van on the line
Good idea
As a train driver for GBRf, I can honestly say that I love my job, I have driven both simulator and real class 66. You did great and glad you enjoyed your day. Stay safe Daniel
That's awesome my dream job
What else do you sign?
@@TomMaddox888 most of east mids, crewe, parts of Wales to the Black Country, Notts, Doncaster..
Did it for 10 years boring job train driving absolutely mind numbed my brain couldn’t do it anymore. Resigned this year.
@@Matt-wr9cc that’s a shame, I love my job, I drive freight which is a very varied day to day role, it does keep it interesting
22:40 "I realized the customer is always right so therefore I tried to get to the job as early as possible." Priceless.
Daniel, for a first time in a simulator of that level you did good.
All aboard the Serious Express
😂 good one
Good one 😂😂😂😂
Drive Class 220 voyager cross country
If Daniel says that he wants his own train, you know in a few years, he will have his own train!!
Daniel: Buys Class 66
Also Daniel: Calls it Asheville Express.
Yet again Daniel: Asheville’s his locomotive
Class 66 in black and gold i can imagine
And Yanni will probably wrap it 😂
AS of right now, only railroads can have locos and cars. its impossible (r/woooosh)
@@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907 nothing is impossible for Daniel Louisy
The one dislike was pissed outside Ashville protesting about a train
Nah the guy who got hit by the train 🚊
there are now 20 dislikes
The other dislikes are from train drivers worried that Ashville will take their jobs now that he's a professional train driver. :-)
there are now 66 dislikes... rather ironic.
Politics
"Somebody parked their van along the way, but you know when people need their material, they need their material, so the van was removed from the train line by force" best line this episode 😂
Great video
And the dude in the blue never even cracked a smile man I rolling 😂🤣
That cheeky look out the window when you stalled it at the station to see if anyone was looking 😂😂
I think you are a real role model for young people you are humble and kind.
Well done brother
"Hello i m Daniel from Ashville .. i have green signal now ! and i m on the yard... waiting for unloading!!! "
keep doing it !!!
Great video, I’m a driver of 6 years and love my job, you display just how much is involved in getting the train moving and keeping it in motion
Brilliant vid Daniel! well done and respect to the train drivers not as easy as i thought!!
As a newbie in the world of construction and health and safety, im doing my NEBOSH CONSTRUCTION and your contents have been of invaluable help in understanding the course and prepping me for the exams and practicals. One love
love how positive you always are man, like the how well you'll do, not how bad you'll do, little things like that really change the mindset for the better. thanks for always staying positive man.
Daniel has the air and land covered. Now all he is missing is the sea lol.
Man is seeerious!
As if the man doesn’t do enough now he’s moonlighting as a train driver 😂
Because Desperate Dan is Serious
jack of all trades
Moonwalking* haha
Love this upload! You’re such an inspiration and kudos to you. “I’ll never simplify another mans trade” respect!
Nicely done, entertaining, fellow train driver here, glad you had fun!
12:58 that old dear looking in at him 😂
Daniels seriousness just stepped up another level 💪🏻👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Mans Serious. He’s gonna make a train line from his house to the yard 🤣
Daniel smile was like a child's in a sweetshop. Love the content mate keep up the hard work. U know man is serious when It comes to trains
Love this video! I used to collect the old Hornby train sets as a kid and people used to bully me, nice to see that I’m not the only one interested in trains and planes, Daniel Ashville you are a legend!
Looks really complicated, great video mate keep it up always love the content. More like this kind of content please.
Keep pushing forward and inspiring along the way Daniel 🙆♂️
Mate you are exactly what the model rail hobby needs...taken a hit recently what with one thing and another. Great vid.
There is nothing more exciting than driving a real train simulator and driving the real thing also its a amazing feeling
I love it
Well done Daniel
Congratz Daniel at getting one of you bucket list ticked off hope you enjoyed it from Ireland
Daniel with that big brain, fast learner, a smooth criminal as he moonwalks that train.
Can't wait for the Ashville class 66 👍 get it done.
When I thought TH-cam was getting shit I came across Ashville. Love the content daniel.
Well done say the timing for the brakes with the weight is hard to get used too
After watching this video I have much more appreciation for train drivers how they have to be focused on their work
Surprised to see a video being launched today, but not shook. Way to go, Ashville!
I know this was two years ago but I really enjoyed watching this, good serious commentary all the way through explaining what you were doing, loved the moon walking bit with the “stop the train now” from the signaller… 😂
As a driver I can confirm, driving trains is easy. It’s the rule book with all the things you need to know when shit goes wrong that is the hard bit 🙃
"WAIT!" :P
It's so hard
The easy part of train driving is making mistake’s, the hardest part is not making mistakes!
Totally awesome driving Daniel, fantastic video, had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂😂
Daniel you are not normal, that is intended as a sincere compliment. Inspiring and interesting as always. Glad you had fun, that was great. Fun fact for you, it would take nearly 3,300 of your train deliveries to deliver the equivalent weight of the largest pyramid which weighed nearly 6 million tons, remember they moved it all with just people power, shows what can be done with the right motivation, lol
I liked when DANIEL LOOKED OUT of the window & SAID HI HOW YOU DOING HOWS IT GOING STAY SAFE that was PRICELESS
As a class 66 technician you showed pretty good control and better than I see from some of the professionals at some points, key thing to remember is that the brakes don’t react instantly either on or off like a car. It takes more anticipation. Valiant effort though
I am a train control officer from South Africa this was a fun watch.
I'm not into trains but it was fun watching this serious man drive the simulator 😂
Well explained while in the simulator, i enjoyed that as speaking on step by step is handy for remembering. Thank you im glad i came across your video :)
Mans "serious", he wants Ashville's own train when he expands his business
And After the he will have his own quary and will deliver goods to all over GB
If he gets his own train, he's gonna be driving it more time than terry is in bed asleep
Nwwww what a lucky guy you are! I never ever had the chance to drive in a real train simulator with all the realistic Instruments and so on. I´m officially jealous ^^
This dude makes Hustling look easy. RESPECT!!!
Something about these and other train sims can help people learn and can teach people, we have come a long way!
When the customer pays for express shipping theres no time to waste for stranded civilians. You did the right thing.
Hello fellow train lover ;)
Nice video! I love class 66's
Damn, bringing back memories of my freight days, on passenger now, much more interesting on the freight engines
And the kicks are matching with GB Railfreight colours... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED BY HOW HE IS INTO TRAINS! lol
I have the same passion for trains like you because I don't know why I find train just epic.
Great video, that simulator looks amazing...
Well Done Daniel ♥️ Turning Childhood Dreams Into A Reality 🚂 💨 💨 Another One Under Your Belt 💯♥️
Daniel you're probably absolutely excited about your train driver experience at GBR frieght, lovely stuff 👏😎👏 Your next mission if you wish to choose as you're near the major internatonal Airports see if British Airways could fit you in for flying Simulator experience that's always been in my wishlist to fly a 737cargo air frieght lol
I am a train geek to Daniel and I play train simulators. You did really well on the simulator
I’ve been a train driver now for 3 years and the training was the hardest and most intense thing I’ve ever done. That being said it’s also the best job I’ve ever had and will ever have. Great money, great perk and loads of time off I’d recommend it to anybody 👍🏻
The van bit seemed ridiculous? Absolutely no chance of stopping unless you were going inappropriately slowly surely?
Yeh in the real world if your unfortunate enough to have this incident it’s a full service brake application and blasting the horn, not much else you can do sadly, I’d personally be straight out of the cab to put as much distance between myself and the crash, you’d also make an emergency call to immediately stop all trains in the area and summon emergency services, you would not move the train, great video all the same though
Another one off the bucket list Daniel, well done son. 👍
This is brilliant! My brother loves trains. He has a layout in his loft.
Well done Daniel you drove that train like a pro.
Nice vid Daniel and thanks for sharing this experience with us
Looks amazing Daniel hope you had a blast
this was great, made me laugh :) . as for owning your own train, try getting hold of one thats heading for scrap, but aim for one thats not needing too much work doing on it....something like been scrapped due to no longer needed. all in all it all, it depends what you got for budget use. ive known many a bus/train enthusiast (more bus than train though) that buy up their own....you got the addition of knowing folks in the industry, and that can be a great help at times.
"That will be the transit gone" 😂😂😂
Like the fact that your trainers match the GB Railfreight corporate wall
Love the intro ashville carriages
Daniel is going to be the next James Bond because he is serious 🧐
Totally incorrect!
@@Noname-dc9mm How?
@@florjanbrudar692 The next James Bond will be a professional actor !
@@Noname-dc9mm Yeah!
@@Noname-dc9mm r/woooosh
Awesome video! I would like to see the next time you take to the air!
Great show ashville. I hope that you would consider buying a Class 60 Diesel Locomotive in the future. They are fantastic trains like the Class 66's :). GBRF are a great company to deal with and I would love to have a go at driving that simulator myself :).
As a signaller i cringed when you started heading back out the station
I wished the GSMR calls and especially the REC had the proper sound, the fecking Klaxon going off could wake the dead.
Had no idea Daniel could fly a plane! So impressive you find the time to do all these things, it's like time moves at a different speed for you!? Next year Daniel trains to become an Astronaut.
Probably not the best idea to touch someone's mic with your finger..
In all SERIOUSness, lots of older shunting locomotives are going up for sale at the moment. Daniel, be on the lookout 👀.
That was really interesting to watch I think you done a really good job 👏
"people need their material so the transit was removed by force" 🤣🤣🤣
been looking forward to this one!
Absolutely brilliant! 👏
I was not even expecting this video at all
I was expecting another truck video
Good vid non the less
Well done, its not easy, so much to remeber.On the road stopping is not much of a problem with a train not so fast and your destroy anything in the way before you stop, nice video
I want ago as u play a hgv track simulator loving the videos keep up the good work
19:41 Waiting for Ashville Weekly on a Sunday
Keep up the hard work been watching from day 1

What about boat? You gonna be rocking up to sight on a train 😂
Well that’s an improvement to train sim world and train simulator. Great video
They are not to meant be a hardcore simulator made for training purposes
I had a BAD feeling you'd crash...........but this is SOOOOO cool!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Shows how different it is from the perspective of a simulator to real life! Shame about the Network Rail van. 😅
Looking to get behind the controls of a train? How about a volunteer railway. Many only require you to be there once every two months or so in order to keep your train driving license current.
Excellent post. Keep it up Sir.
The are you not into train bit is brilliant
That was an awesome video! The only thing i noticed is that you underestimate how low the friction is with trains. Once you're up to speed you can just cut the power and you'll keep going barely losing any momentum. Awesome job moonwalking out of the station though!
Pretty good driving! 👍
I'm train driver from Finland.
All i can say is continue rising to success, you are doing well. Still waiting for the drag race upload and yiannis home upload.
6:30 "brake pipe control" is in comic sans type font on the gauge
Big up Harringey!!! And obviously yourself there Daniel ✌
Brilliant video Daniel
Yes! I loved this video! Keep it up Daniel! I’d like to see you pilot a Boeing 747 next!
You're on your highest mode na keep going make your dreams come true, your the man💪👍
This is rlly helpful to people who wanna be a train driver
Let's hope that both companies can grow.
This is simply awesome. I love trains.
Daniel, great video, loved it👍🏼Try driving a fire engine next 😀👌🏼
