That clickety clack sound going over crossovers is incredible. Amazing.
London must be such an interesting city to drive trains in! Incredibly busy and complex network.
I don't know how old you are young man but when I was a kid i use to go from Liverpool to london in the cab. You will never forget that day well done great video.
I have a two monitor setup and watched this video while also watching the route on Google Earth. Added an interesting aspect to the whole thing. Saw some places I had been in 1979 while doing the big O.E. Ahhh the memories !
You're lucky to get a cab ride. I had a ride with an instructor on the Bakerloo line. It was amazing. I've also driven on the District line and my mate has done the Waterloo & City.
A most interesting video. Thank you for posting. My admiration goes to all in the cab... (and good luck to that young person).
This young guy knows his stuff. If I were a gambling man I'd put my money on him being a train driver one day.
He is a bit young for that, but he now works for them in the train planning department.
Great video! The young fella knows his stuff & asks some very good questions, obviously a train driver in the making 😉. Thanks for sharing a great ride!
Well done again for a great video. Another pleasure to watch and listen. Jack.
Even if this isn’t the fastest train journey, it’s very charming listening in on your conversation.
A very well executed video. Like the chat very much. Really enjoyed my view
Thank you
SMILEVIDEOTRAINS lo
Being Irish and living 22 years in Manchester, I find this fascinating - I know that some fellow Irish people living in London are Tube Drivers 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧🏴❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the ride. Loved it .
Ur gay
I Am A Person Who Always Loved To Go On Trains And Look In The Cab:: CAB DRIVE Its Just Wonderful
Great video, this young lad is already very knowledgeable. We can all learn interesting points with a video like this. Really good.
An interesting and entertaining ride-along.
Nice ride. Gotta love those UK trains.
Been "traveling" all over Europe, lately, on TH-cam cab view rides. I'm amazed how much electrification there is. In many cases there's a conduit of some sort following the right-of-way, on or in the ground, winding around every obstruction, cased in a rectangular metal box.
Takes me back watching this route.....I was a Signalman at Twickenham West Junction Box in the early 1970s
Sounds to me like that young lad is almost qualified~ Good on you son, enjoy your time in the cab, I never forgot mine and I'd give anything to be able to go back to it!
Brilliant video, Dan... and through your questions I have really learned a lot about the workings aso, which 'll come in handy once I play Train Simulator again...
zoomshane: He was asked to be quiet when the train was runing under caution (single yellow on the main aspect signal). As it means that the next signal is at danger (red), the driver shouldn`t be distracted with talking. To work a train on linespeed under green signals is not a big deal, but when you need to be prepared to stop a 300 tonns veichle at a certain point it requires full attention. If the driver would have missed a breaking point because they were talking, it could resolt a SPAD (Signall Passed at Danger), and it had serious consequences.
I Suppose there are nowadays failsafe techniques in place to take care in case such a situation should occur.
@@hawkeye0248 Failsafe mechanisms are indeed implemented depending on the route and such. However activating a failsafe mechanism is looked at in the same way as if the failsafe wasn't there.
34:59 looking to your left you can still see the old Eurostar terminus of Waterloo that has been closed since 2007
It is very interesting to see the number of commuter trains in your videos nothing like it is here were you would see only a few
This video made me thinking of this track when I was in UK. I used to travel to London by catching this train!
PMSL! Kid tells the driver to set his DRA! That's funny!
12:43 notice how the "off" indicator illuminated as the starter signal changed
great video!
At 1'27" there used to be a fiddle yard and when us boys were going to school in the mornings over the footbridge we would try our hardest to get sooty from the steam so as to get told off!
Nice, thank you!
Heading into the South Bank purpose based terminus is the London Studios and you can see it again even as the train enters platform 18 of Waterloo.
Love those train cab rides...there was a great one w/ Spain's High speed train - Madrid to Barcelona, but they removed it.
Nice ride
Thank you
those are limit of shunt signals. applies to trains performing slow motion
Ah -- thank you, Mr Sykes ! One continues to learn.
Something I see on roads all over the world: at rail overpasses, there is almost always a pair of "guard rails" (?) placed between the rails proper, and wedge-shaped at their beginnings and endings. Are these a form of protection against catastrophic derailment . . . ?
Great Video but my question is, what happens to all the Old Railway that is Discarded around the Network. Does it ever get collected as it seems it lies there for years.
14:25 The little metal pedestrian bridge ever the railway, we used to wave to the trains as kids on this.. as did our Dad before us, and my son did too.... Generations of kids probably have, as little kids can see through the wire mesh on the sides of the bridge.
Well said mate, I like it.
Marvellous.
When I went to London in August I arrived in London waterloo
If you want a laugh, turn on the Closed Captions and watch TH-cam murder the commentary. LOL!
Heather Lennox I turned it on.☺️ Sometimes the subtitles don’t work on TH-cam.☺️
They say near the end "Is this train going on the old Eurostar tracks" Did Eurostar just use that one line to the left going backwards & forwards from 30m54s > Waterloo ?
That kid really knows his stuff...
Excellent video. Why is it you kept having to keep quiet for a few moments every so often?
Even the trains drive left just like cars.
thats world wide a leaste europe wide
@@eric1895 no, germany and the Netherlands, both drive on the right. And theres more than just those in Europe
OK thanks. So @ 00:45 it is also a "double orange"...
Thanks, Tom. That gets it. I note that the overhead (my dad called it a catenary) line that powers so many trains moves right and left, even on a straight. I assume that's to keep the pantograph from heating up in one spot ?
I believe it stops the wire from wearing a groove in the pantograph, which it would if the line wasn't staggered.
MotoCrazy66 That's it. There is graphite on top of the pantograph, and it would get grooves if the wire would not move from side to side.
Collateralcoffee
Indeed!
Just an aside, it ONLY moves left and right on the straights, on the bends it does this naturally.
great video. Pity anout the audio. Sometimes it is hard to follow clearly
Very good video and please do more. Merlin Video Services.
The Glasgow electric Blue Trains were great. You could sit behind the driver and see the track in front.
St. Margarets is my local station. :D
Watching
3:35 - why is there scrap rail in the sand drag after the catch-point? If someone spadded and hit the scrap rail, it could throw it out into a running road, defeating the object of the catch-point and sand drag.
nlo114 it’s 20mph pal. With tpws, the driver hopefully braking well before this point and the low speed, I can’t see them rails going far if the trap was ever used.
Mortlake used to be our Local Station :)
I love the accent of the girl who is talking, where is it from?
Hello, Nice vid ! Not familiar with the UK signal, but It looks like the train passed over a double red at ca. 11:30 and 23:25 (which is here an abolute stop). Also the train arrives at platforms at very low speed. Any regulation about that? Thanks.
Good
Thank you
Worryingly the driver doesn't remember the last crossing, after White Hart lane, in Barnes.
I've been wondering why nothing is heard -- usually -- as wheels pass over the gap in a crossover. Is the outside diameter of the wheel riding on the rail at that point, rather than the wheel flange ?
MotoCrazy, I had trouble with the cab chat because the local dialect, RR vocabulary, and pronunciation aren't familiar to me. I would love to know just how bright that young fellow is, and what he learned on this trip !
Does every driver get such a brilliant co-pilot? :P
people who live in glass houses shouldn't live near bricks
Looks like all the signals were red :-/
yellow/double yellow. So slow ride.
Yellow signals look red on my monitor. Not sure what's up with that.
Great video ,, But please keep the camera still
As a North American most of the chat was lost on me -- sorry to say. Would love to know what that third rail is for -- and why it switches sides from time to time !
That is what the train gets it's power from. Only 750v DC but enough to power the train. It switches sides because the collector shoes (pickups) get hot due to the friction so need time to cool down. If you want to see what the train looks like, search in Google 'Class 458/0 Juniper'. Hope this helps :)
trains
I was using a singular noun
RISDsdr Third rail is always on the side farthest away from the platform in stations, and you often see short lengths and odd sections of third rail at points or crossings so that trains don't run the risk of being 'gapped' and being unable to move because none of the collector shoes are touching the third rail.
Chris Worrall Thanks ! I watched a Swiss mountain rail video in which there seemed to be gaps in the third rail, at points (switches) and elsewhere. I was puzzled by that. Perhaps each train has more than one shoe or pickup ?
steven chung---- why do you want to know about the kid (several times)? Perhaps you are on the wrong forum.
mike durell don’t be daft
how do you get so many cab rides
@4:03 the signal on the other track is a landmark for when to speed up after st margerates
you are running on 750 Volts DC
C
Yes
Why do you have to be quiet at certain times?
The chatter made this a better-than-average cab ride, even though my American ears couldn't decipher a lot of it! The young man was properly inquisitive, and the two adults were very helpful with their answers. As for the ride itself, it was slow speed, and the train must have become quite crowded. I wonder if a more up-to-date signal system would let it move along faster.
It's not the signalling, it's the traffic ahead and the amount of stations.
what kind of engine are you in and you are a lucky guy to be in the cab
Chris Fields Looks like a third rail DEMU of some kind, possibly.
okay thanks
okay thank you
+Chris Fields - It's a 455 unit.
Alrighty
interesting
If you can ride In the cab*
what's that track connecting to platform 3 for i couldn't quite get what they said about it also i assume the platform extensions are for 10 car accommodation
I think he has permission from the company.
Instead of rattling on about nothing it would have been good to have an announcement for each station.
I need to learn my phonetic Alphabet!
Ah right fair enough
Do you ask the drivers if you can ruses
haha I like the blokes response to "Why do you have first class?" at 21:46
Oli I don’t. The extra space and bigger seat makes all the difference for a disabled, old person like me.
why did they build Twickenham and St Margarets so close to each other ?
Err ? Because Twickenham and St. Margarets are close to one another ?
@@chairman823 I mean why bother with 2 stations, one would have done
@@jonathanphelan6627 Not really.....I used to live in St Margarets as a kid, and Twickenham is a fair old walk.
Remember that when these were built, no one had cars, it was all horses and carriages.
Same with North Sheen and Mortlake...a good 30 min walk by road between them.
mautu ioapo cab ride twicknham to london waterloo thonk you youtube videos in my loaptop compter goodday by now mautu ioapo thonk you 2.1.2015
Great video. I thought that drivers could get the sack nowadays for letting people in the cab, especially for a cab ride. Something to do with health and safety, not saying it's nice to be let in the driver's cab, 'tis very fun.
What class of train is this
Hi anslem
Britain's toughest rail journeys with Danny Dyer and his pansy son!
Nicely Done!! I have a Time Lapse video of Waterloo Station in London on my channel that you might enjoy. Let me know what you think. Thanks and have great week.
Was the train the Class 455?
I reckon it must be - it can't have been a desiro otherwise you would've heard the traction motors
So?
Pity about the chatter. Otherwise, very interesting.
What Class where you riding in?
Pratt
What is that kid's name and how old is he
5 seconds
What is that kid's name
What is kid's last name?
what is that kid's last name
So it's ok to a have a member of the public in the cab is it😡 So easy to distract a Driver, A moments loss of concentration caused the Harrow and Wealdstone Disaster
What in the hell is so funny?
Yawn. passenger trains... its all signal work...now running 3500ft. coal trains through the rockies in canada on the canandian pacific line...thats railroading...grew up in a rail road home...handled mountain freight trains when i was but 8-9 years old in the mid 90's...i actually had the engineer seat/controls to myself while my dad just told me what to do..
Yeeeharrr!
