I filmed one of the 4 MPV's in East kilbride a couple weeks ago. I noticed on RTT that something was coming in at 21:30 - just had to go down and have a nosey 😅. Nice collection of clips as always Leslie.
The Swiss use MPV in threes and fours as Fire and tunnel rescue trains. One vehicle with a tank for foam and water and pumps, a equipment vehicle, a rescue vehicle (capacity 60 people injured or not) and have the ability using all the units power to rescue passenger and freight trains to safety. The sets with 4 units have either a second tank and pumps, a second rescue vehicle or a road vehicle transporter to give extra spray capacity.
Well, someone in Scotland went home with mucky fingers! However, the info is wrong. Royal Highland Fusiliers (55019 (D9019)) was a Haymarket (64B or HA) locomotive. You look as if you have been tonsorially treated recently.
Hello I hope you are well what app ect do you use to find what train is doing route ect i am in Derbyshire well Derby it self live near rolls Royce in sinfin and the main line to Birmingham pass my house would love to go out with my camera and video them
Great one once again Leslie, at this rate there will not be many fright trains left as oil ,mail and coal trains all gone ,,, what will be left next year ? 🙃

Thats useful to know. I think the Network Rail ones are used on RHTTs and as weedkilling trains. They really are more useful though.
Great footage Les!
@@jameseldershaw7194 thanks!
I like the nod to the old Thornaby depot with the kingfisher on the side of 66109 👍
Ah thats what it represents!
Should be at Carlisle now Leslie. Bit of a Signal issue at Wigan. Things a little bit delayed.
@@user-gu9pv7ck1i I was filming north of the bordér yesterday morning.
Has TPE moved the 802 to long distance routes?

Purely a trick of the light and wearing a wooly hat too much
