- Class 807 RETURNS to Hitachi through a Wet Carlisle,
TPE 397 FAILS
How short can a freight train be?
Class 43s on Network Rail Test Train

in 4 Hours at Carlisle 01 July 24
I went to Carlisle's Citadel Station, despite the wind and rain, to see what I assumed was a Class 807 heading for Darlington en route to Hitachi's Newton Aycliffe factory.
I was also expecting some light engine and civol engineer's movements together with a Network Rail test train topped and tailed by Class 43s.
What I didn't expect was a TransPennine Express 397 failing. You may say a failed windscreen wiper is a petty reason to cancel a train - but would you drive your car at 110MPH through wind and rain without your wipers? And I don't mean without a wiper blade - with the whole mechanism failed!
The two Engineer's trains did seem a little silly - one wagon heading to Tyne Yard and two wagons for Crewe!
In recent weeks the log train empties have been returning in a morning from Chirk to Carlisle.
Also Mid-week Cement empties heading to Castle Cement at Clitheroe.
Definitely a day of variety

It’s great to see perfectly framed and steady shots in your films. Some other TH-camrs could learn a lot by paying attention to your films and how you edit them.
That 807 didn't sound too clever!
Love the 807. Got to see 807001 in avanti livery pass Penrith yesterday. Absolutely gorgeous
So, it looks like the 807s will be going into service soon. Great video and mix, as per usual. I really liked the cement mixer haul for some reason. Go figure! Could use that rain here.
Great video as usual.
I could have seen this but I didn’t realise it was a 807! Nice video
Thanks for your time and effort.

Thank you ...... been wondering how those EMPTY Chirk wagons got back home !!!
Are there milometers on trains?
hi, great video, the thing is who asked for these ghastly hitachi trains ?, iam sure the public prefer standard rolling stock like the mk2d's with comfortable seating and a loco at the front, don't we get asked or is it, we do what we want and "F" you
