Smashing shots and captures there Kev. Interesting to see the 69s being shunted round. Nice 08 being used as well. Interesting to see 66738/66431 there. You covered this one well. Excellent detailing and camera work! Very nice indeed! Really enjoyed, thanks for sharing! Take care, have an awesome day and all the best! Jamie
Very! This is a perfect job for them. The only reason you don't see a lot of them is that there's not a lot of work for them on today's railway. Almost everything -- both freight and passenger -- is unit trains, so there's very little shunting to do, now.
There’s still a decent amount of shunting in places, but mostly in places not easily accessible for filming, like a depot or scrap yard or other large industry
@@andrewreynolds4949 Right, but British Railways built almost a thousand class 08s, because it used to be that almost every location on the rail network needed one.
0:10 Wait. Is that a locomotive with a "NOT TO BE MOVED" board being moved? If so, pardon the armchair health and safety, but that's either a total cock-up or a big cultural problem.
@@garethhollinshead454 What's DP? The problem is that the "NOT TO BE MOVED" board means that the locomotive is not in a state where it can be moved. That could be because it is in a state where it physically cannot be moved (e.g., it's partly propped on blocks) or where moving it will break it (e.g., because it's partly disassembled), or because people are working on the locomotive, and they could be injured or killed if it moves. You simply do not move a locomotive if it has a "NOT TO BE MOVED" board on it. You find the person who put the board there get them to confirm that the board no longer applies, and remove it. You don't say, "Oh, it's OK this time" because once you've normalized moving "NOT TO BE MOVED" locomotives, you just start ignoring the boards. Then, your manager gets confused and tells you to move the locomotive on number 1 road when he means the one on number 2 road. The locomotive on 1 is marked "NOT TO BE MOVED", because somebody's working underneath it. You say, "Well, the boss told me to move it, so it must be OK" and now there's blood and organs on the floor.

How nice is it to see 08s still in use?

interesting video Kev.
Parts department… save or scrap? 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Conversions class 56 into class 69
Poor 66431 use to see it all the time on the Tesco wentloog guessing it’s being used for 69s
looks like she lost her engine and plugged up the oil cooler too.

Came here to say this, really not something you want caught on video.
The 08 driver needs to go to specsavers
Surely this is a D.P problem? The shunter driver looks to have carried out his duties with precision and speed I might add... Bravo to you good sir

@@beeble2003 designated person - person in charge of the shunting taking place
Whats going on with 66738 and 66431
Not a clue
I’d have thought routine or heavier maintenance. They’ll be back out in no time I’m sure.
What have they done to my boys the Tug and the Shed 😭
