Right side (from the cab, looking forward) is for day running - intended to increase visibility of the train to track workers etc. Left side is for night running - intended to illuminate track/signs/platforms etc. Depending on the train, it may also have 2 marker lights in addition to the day/night lights.
I'm still undecided about the Chiltern Mk3's. On 1 hand they look brilliant and its keeping the reliable rolling stock for a bit longer, but on the other hand its not the same without the slam doors. I guess I need to rise one before making the decision.
Love the video. I have a question: why do British trains run with the large headlight lit on one side and the small one on the other? Are they all lit at night?
The Head End is usually always supplied by the locomotive, the genset on the DVT is only used when stabled up rather than in service.
An incredible amount of activity for an hour. Just goes to show how busy today's railway is.
This is a great video, I really enjoyed watching it :)
Very nice to watch, thank you
Nice video! Like the voyagers. I was right about those being car carriers. Nice addition having the freight train in there.

Great vid, and on my birthday too :-)
Nice video! :)
Thanks! I see that now.
And another question - what do the blue wagons carry on the freight arnd 10:00?

They're car transporters, I believe.
Powwwer
Blue wagons are car carriers
