- A cab ride aboard a Plasser & Theurer 09 type tamper from Ashford International to Tonbridge.
Please note there is one single moment when the sound is muted, due to a radio call being received from the signaller. Apologies for this - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Another relaxing video to watch! Thank you, and see you on the next! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you for a great cab-ride video on one of my favourite routes
One of the best viseo's I have seen for camera clarity for a long time,, really brings life to the countryside/ Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback. I invested in a 4K Go Pro deliberately, for the quality. Glad TH-cam has retained that definition! Expect more videos in the future - daylight permitting!
Great stuff and a lovely day for it. Did that run years ago on a Vintage Slam Door DC EMU of mega coach length, Driver had his finger out all the way, and i'm sure it was "TON UP" for most of it, my bonce was out the 6FT Side and it was an "All you can eat alfresco buffet of insect critters". Didn't think we were gonna stop at Tonbridge due to the speed unless the Driver & Guard chucked Grappling Hooks and Anchors out the window, alas heady days, yours, Retired South Manchester Bobby.
Great to have the two consecutive videos up. Thanks.
Brilliant. Best half hour i've spent today.
Planes Trains I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent stuff! I work opposite in the HRD yard for BBRail and see the 09 tamper frequently, nice to get a sense of sound and sight on one of these things as we’ll be expecting two arrivals of the 09 type this year. Thanks for uploading!
Good luck with them! They’re somewhat complicated compared to the 08s, but once you get used to them, they’re pretty good kit
A wonderful ride through the Kent countryside, even see a couple of oast houses west of Marden. Thanks for posting.
Plenty of hops growing alongside the line too!
Amazing video mate keep them coming
Jason Grigg Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it
Great Vid, it would be great to see the return journey aswell. Great Content
It’s in the upload list! The next journey is Hither Green to Ashford, but I may split it at Tonbridge into two videos
Thanks for the feedback on the driving. I’ve often wondered about the licence. Shame about Chart Leacon...I remember (during a visit in the early 1960s) how proud they were of the depot. Regards, Rob (ex Eastleigh, Ryde and Woking Electrical Control Rooms).
To my knowledge, this is the only stretch of track in the UK, powered by third rail, to have 100mph linespeed. Very nice!
Isn’t the South West mainline, formerly home to the 5WES 442 units from Southampton up towards Woking 100mph?
@@emmo999 Ahh it is through Basingstoke to Southampton, but its 90 down to portsmouth. It's also 90 on the Brighton mainline, which is frustrating lol
A very enjoyable video. Yes, this must be the straightest track section in the country. I've never known anything like it. These tamping machine seems to have quite good acceleration, and I'd say that the quality of this film is as good as if you were either in a loco or an electric unit. Many thanks.
I remember many times standing on the bridge at 4:40 and waving at train drivers when I was a kid. I grew up on the Godinton Park estate and the bridge was maybe a 20 minute walk through the fields from my house. I also remember seeing the Stephenson's Rocket replica at a Chart Leacon open day sometime in the early 90s, maybe 92. I would have been 7 then. Another thing I remember is during the school holidays, my friends and I would cycle to the Great Chart pitch and putt (6:14) . 5 quid for a round of pitch and putt and a bucket of balls on the driving range.
All good memories!
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
OMFG!
Well remember rattling along here on the old 'Birkenhead' each way between Deal and Guildford in the 60'S. Firstly with steam, then with diesel locos. On one occasion ended up hauled from Redhill to Guildford by a Q1 and the driving was rough!
Redhill to Guildford, over the north downs is hard work for a loco. I’d imagine especially steam
@@emmo999 don't know the reason for Q1 use, suspect loco availability was the factor. Rough handling of train down to two possibilities , one, passenger link driver unaccustomed to Q1, or two, freight link Q1 driver.
Thanks for the video! Chart Leacon Depot looks very down at heel nowadays doesn’t it? I just managed to catch sight of Paddock Wood Electrical control Room on the left before the station. I also noted that the old Hacker radio/hi-fi Factory site has disappeared. Looking at the terrible spray paint vandalism on the lines idle substations, t.p. huts, etc., reminds me that we still haven’t got a way of protecting the equipment from spray paint vandalism. I suggested (many years ago, via the old SR ‘Win A Suggestion Prize’ system) that a fairly broad metal mesh , on stand off mounts (to stop the vandals from getting a focus from the spray can jet) be used. Unfortunately, it was decided that the mesh and mountings would be too expensive. So one else suggested a strong radio frequency field could be switched on when propellant gases were detected, causing small spark gaps to strike. Problem is that the highly inflammable gas and resultant flames and/or explosion could do more damage to the substation equipment than expected. However, prominent warnings on the site could help trespassers think twice before using spray cans, risking injury to themselves.
Question: are the tampers driven by P-Way staff trained as drivers and specialised in this role? If you’ve not visited the Plasser Fabrik in Vienna...I hope you can get there sometime, it’s well worth the trip. Thanks again, Rob
It was important to me to get Chart Leacon on film, as part of it is due to be demolished imminently, I believe. My understanding is only the outside sidings are to be reinstated. You’ll see in the video some RRVs at work in there already (although I’m not sure exactly what they were doing).
As for the drivers, they’re all manned by dedicated trained crews. When working on the track, the tamper crew are always tamper crew, other guys will stick to their thing. The train driving licence is generic to all railway (I used to drive passenger trains), but has a counterpart which specifies which classes of train you are qualified to drive (and where)
Wow that DSD warning is ear piercing - that would wake you up! Thanks for another great ride. I do find the way GoPros react to the slightest breath of wind irritating!
The DSD goes off every minute, like it or lump it. On some stock, it only goes off if controls are not changed for a minute
At 01:21 that's me and my mate cheers for the horn
I did wonder!
@@emmo999 I was there for that and the other freight from Dollands Moor and hoo junction up yard
Was there much there? This was Friday 31st July
@@emmo999 there was a light locomotive Gbrf 66 from Hoo Junction up yard to saltwood Jn then 66 Gbrf pulling Autoballesters from Dollands Moor sidings to hoo junction up yard and they cancelled the Dollands Moor L.H.S to DB cargo fan A and B sdgs and thought this was going Eastleigh that what real time trains said any way.
@@emmo999 I was on the on the high speed 395 and I went to Stratford (london) today
Thank you for this cab ride - I really enjoyed it. Are there any plans in the pipeline to upgrade this long stretch of line to get the speed up to 100MPH ?
For EMUs, the line speed is already 100mph
@@emmo999 Oh WOW!! I'll have to watch the cad ride again - I only saw 90MPH signs!!
It’s 90mph for all stock, but you should notice EMU 100 signs
@@emmo999 Oh yeap, I have seen one at the 4 minute mark.
How are these to drive? In regards to tamping operation, is it automatically operated, where the tamper moved itself along for each sleeper?
When operating, just as the same as every tamper, there is an operator in the middle of controls the movement of the machine and the tamping operation
As for driving, these are nice to drive. Their pretty slow, but at 170t, we can probably forgive that! But they whizz along at 60 no problems
Wonderful Video I missed a comment on Headcorn and what it used to join! KESR?
Yes indeed. Back before preservation, ran Robertsbridge to Headcorn. In the undergrowth the old platform at Headcorn is still there
Great to see the fast loops being used and the mainline being used as a mainline again! Made me chuckle when you kept getting slowed down due to two of the many annoying stopping services that now exist lol
We’re only able to do 60mph, but after a good clear run, we do tend to catch them up
A lot of the bridges on this route appear to have been reconstructed for OHLE in that they have those distinctive concrete curved arches when they have been raised in height? Any idea why?
A few were reconstructed for when Eurostars ran this way, but it was never equipped with OHLE
@@emmo999 Cheers - thanks for the quick reply
No worries. I suspect the work was more structural or for bigger containers coming through the tunnel
Straight Line for how many miles..
Between Redhill and Ashford is dead straight (except for the western approach to Tonbridge which has been slightly skewed). The longest straight track in the country
My comment ‘lines idle’ typo should read ‘line side’. Predictive text on iPads is a hindrance and not a help!) Rob
