@iantaf5559 The trailer shows how bumpy the ride can be as the suspension on the machines are not as good as the ones on passengers trains but the gopro hides that
@chrsrwlns thank you for watching, the brakes do get a lot of comments regarding the noise but they are safe and get tested/inspected before and after each shift or journey
must be nice to have a job where you sit doing nothing for ages......and you held up the traffic on the level crossing at manningtree whilst you went past three times....................
@JL-rx6hl First of all thank you for taking the time to watch and then comment on the video but out of curiosity what is your knowledge of the job and what it entails?
Thanks for this one. It was interesting to see how the lead carriage on this tamper reacted to the wet spots you went over from time to time.

Great video showing shunting moves at Ely, when they rebuilt the bridge after just joining single line, built for double track
@martyn6792 yes they have also did the same at Soham Station with the footbridge over the track there
@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck I missed that, there was talk of doubling it to Ely plus reinstating chord toward Cambridge, not sure if either will happen
@martyn6792 They were meant to replace the S&C at Chippenham Jn but that has been put on hold not sure why or for how long
Absolutely loved it
@mandylee4166 Thank you for watching
thanks for uploading! :-)
@matzk0840 you're welcome
Apparently the government is spending money on improving Ely junction. Does anyone know what this will involve?
@ds1868 I believe they are looking at redesigning Ely North Jn
Great video but shouldn't somebody do something about the brakes? They don't half make a racket.
@chrsrwlns thank you for watching, the brakes do get a lot of comments regarding the noise but they are safe and get tested/inspected before and after each shift or journey
Very Interesting, but it seems to be a horrible thing to have to push with it crashing and banging about...
@CJA150179 It can be a bit daunting to drive at first but you do get use to the extra length after driving it a few times
Pity it was such an overcast day. Still a good watch though.
@vincent-ow9lj yes it wasn't ideal but I did get some good footage yesterday that I need to edit
