Trains on a Wet Afternoon at Carlisle: Yellow test train on the goods lines!! 06 May 24

Wet Afternoon at Carlisle:
Test Train on the Goods Lines and
Pairs of trains!
06 May 24
Two 70s on The Logs!
Two yellow Network Rail Test Trains!
Two Diversity-liveried Passenger trains!
Both Colourful Pendolinos!
As well as the coincidences, we see the little yellow test train - 950001 - testing the track on the Goods Lines.
And it rained all afternoon in Carlisle but was remarkably warm.

My mind sometimes reads differently to what is written. Your TH-cam headline 'Trains on a Wet Afternoon at Carlisle: Yellow test train on the goods lines' immediately morphed into 'Little yellow test train on the old goods line' which you may recognise as the cadence of the first line of 'The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God' by J Milton Hayes.
I think I've mentioned how your out-of-station sequences help broaden my appreciation of Carlise Station and its environs. For example, in the Quail diagrams of the area, Upperby Junction and sidings are just straight lines. Similarly on the Railcam signal diagrams. Those sequences 'put flesh on these bare bones'. Don't stop including them.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

You don't know how I nearly used a similar title and thought nobody would be drawn in by it! Perhaps now the good weather is here I should do all the views in a single video

[@Burtonupontrentrailwaystoday]

The 950 sprinter inspects the switches and crossings

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

I never knew that!

[@Burtonupontrentrailwaystoday]

@LeslieGilpinRailways
There fairly new old 153s on rhe video it ran through the junction in all directions love the shot in the station of the banner repeater

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

@@Burtonupontrentrailwaystoday I filmed one of the 153s at Newcastle last year.

[@davidmatheson8172]

Wow Lesley despite the rain you certainly brightened up the day. Great shot of Euston and Lancaster arriving together into Citadel.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

@@davidmatheson8172 Thanks! Its good when more than one train is in motion

[@hoffwell]

Wonder when the electrified Cowans siding last saw any action?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

No siding into the former Cowans Sheldon site - thats a retail park. The 'Newcastle Shunting Neck' is used daily in moving DMUs between platforms and the last time I saw any long train in was when West Coast stock was shunted via there to allow the Midland Pullman in to Platform 3. See my later video th-cam.com/video/F-zRVGClopc/w-d-xo.html

[@hoffwell]

@@LeslieGilpinRailways Thank you for the info and link. I've now watched the video and that movement. You do well making these videos, many thanks.

[@rxcko172]

i really want to see that class 95 test train or any test train how would i see them leslie?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Look on RTT - the test trains often appear on Wednesdays Thursdays and Sundays often starting at Derby RTC. reporting numbers are 1Qxx and description will say Test Train
