Didn't know you were this fun to watch

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks

[@mikeuk4130]

I did actually sit back, and particularly enjoyed that with my morning coffee and coffee cake. A very interesting episode, thanks Les.

Brilliant video Leslie. Lot's of good variety at Carlisle station. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rxcko172]

amazing leslie

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks

[@mels1811]

Brilliant video Leslie

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks!

[@MarchWestJunctionTMD]

Really nice footage Leslie. Interesting to see the Colas Rail class 70 with only six tank wagons. Makes it more justifiable to model when you have a small layout.
Thanks for sharing
Andy

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Andy. I know what you mean. That train has to split its load of 18 to serve the fuel depot. Other times we see engineer's trains with perhaps 1-3 wagons on. Perfect for modelling

[@mikeuk4130]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Hi Les. Presumably, these 3 trains of 6 tanks are split from 1 x 18 at a yard somewhere in the Carlisle area. Thanks for explaining why this runs as such a short train behind a 70, which can easily pull 18 TEAs or similar.

[@laycock1504]

I do like watching your v logs.You have a very good camcorder

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks!

Excellent as always

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks again!

[@teamtrains]

I saw the 68s at Crewe station on the UDL

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thats cool, being able to see them in several places even when you aren't there

[@2010ditta]

Nice one Leslie. Are those Land Recovery wagons/ hoppers relatively new up by you.?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Tim. We saw them brand new last year when there were quite a few weeks of aggregate moves to the Land Recovery HQ near Stoke

[@rxcko172]

you should do a trip report video

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I prefer to do vlogs where I visit if away from Carlisle

[@littlesid2023]

I’m guessing that the three southbound routes are settle, west coast main line and Cumbria coast (beautiful journey, as is the settle line)
Those tracks / points are like spaghetti junction!
One last question (I’m coming back to an interest in the railways after 55 years!) is how do you get to know all the various goods destinations of each train? I’m learning a lot from your videos! Thanks

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks. The left hand track is technically the North Eastern to Newcastle with the Midland (S&C) branching off at Petteril Bridge junction about a mile further on. I get all my information from the RealTime Trains web site. It lists every train planned, running or cancelled

[@littlesid2023]

I didn't think about the Newcastle track. Thanks so much.

[@user-cr2wx5uz7o]

Great as usual,do you get charged for filming on platforms, Carlisle should give you a golden ticket for promoting them

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks. Thank goodness we don't get charged. If they gave us full access then they might not be happy when I film things going wrong.

[@rxcko172]

24:00 hope she had not layed eggs there

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Hard to tell but the gull is still there

[@roboftherock]

If that gull isn't moved it could become a problem. Should it lay and hatch then its territorial attitude could percieve travellers on P1 as well as train and permanenet way staff as a threat to its young. I've experienced similar from gulls that nested too close to my home. Ah, the work of a trainee driver is full of back and forth - which is probably better than ups and downs.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Somehow I cant see Network Rail doing anything about the bird - there's another nested adjacent to the rear carpark

[@peterlittle6651]

Some unusual platform useage there Les, any reasoning behind it ?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Platforms 1 and 3 are always used for either direction for any of the southbound routes, In fact all three through platforms are bi directional and used to regulate traffic.

[@peterlittle6651]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Thanks Les it makes Carlisle an interesting topic.

[@garryproud8198]

Are the british railways in a competition to design the ugliest locomotives on the planet

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

The Class 70s are an acquired taste but have their fans

[@roboftherock]

Stop dissing my favourite loco.
