Welcome to my RU-vid channel. Here you will find my videos, mainly on the subject of transport, from the latest railway reopenings, to preserved railways and ships, days out by train, bus and ferry, as well as occasional military and re-enactment events.
@@shadowrange Sorry about that; I know it's a bit abrupt (Trying to get a decent clip of the whistle was surprisingly difficult). I did have a better whistle clip from the TSS Earnslaw, but the hard drive with all my New Zealand footage on it broke, so I can't use that clip for my intro any more. I do have an idea for a better intro, but I haven't had the chance to film it yet.
@@shadowrange I've tried turning down the volume on the intro on my newest video of a train at St-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. Check it out and see if it makes any difference.
Según Wikipedia no se conserva ninguna fireless en España: visiten ustedes Blanes, al lado de Lloret de Mar, en la avenida Europa verán una Koppel 040 de la fábrica SAFA expuesta como monumento, de vía (track) 1668 mm.
I do try and add captions where I have that information to hand. I got a program at Model Rail Scotland, so I was able to use that to identify the layouts and add captions to that video. I'm sorry this was not possible for this video.
Last time I tried to go to Reston I too found the fares a bit ludicrous:- Lenzie to Reston 2 singles £31.10 (no returns issued) compared with Lenzie to Dunbar £13.05 return plus Dunbar to Reston £6.65 return , total £19.70 (all with Senior Railcard). So if I'd innocently bought through tickets I would have paid more than 50% extra than by split-ticketing. Interesting film - I did a "first" tour of the station when I drove there, so wasn't hindered by cancellations etc. Here's my film:- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aniI70ESZR8.html
The ticket prices are shocking. I think Scotrail removing peak time fares will help, but it's stupid that you have to split the tickets to get the best prices.
@SteamboatWilley Ticket prices outside of Strathclyde are generally more expensive as they get no subsidy but its madness to think that you have to split your tickets indeed to get the cheapest tickets possible, Also. The fares between Edinburgh and East Linton are set by ScotRail but the fares to/from Dunbar are actually set by LNER due to them previously managing the station so intheory your paying another TOCs price even though its not them you're travelling with, Crazy how it all works
I know this is a little old, but I was wondering if the engine falling "upwards" through the open elevator section physically possible? Is vertical lift taken into engine mounting design?
Assuming the engine is mounted on rubber anti-vibration mountings, then I would say it's possible for the weight of the engine to rip it free from the mountings if inverted. The deck above it might not be so easy to break, though.
Very interesting video. There is a "Walkway of Memories" at Tilbury on one of the passenger bridges that they would have walked along when they disembarked. The panes of glass depict pictures and memories of those passengers that arrived and there is always a big event held on 22nd June of each year to commemorate Windrush Day. There is also a plaque at the nearby Tilbury Town rail station.
Excellent video. Many years ago, my grandparents used to live in Johnstone and I remember catching this train from Johnstone to Glasgow Central and then staying on it back down to Euston. Of course, back in those days the Ayr line was not electrified so it was hauled by a 47 from Glasgow to Ayr. Happy memories! 👍
I discovered I'm autistic very recently thanks to the internet. I also have what ten years ago would have been called Asperger. Today many people still use the term but it is actually obsolete since 2013, when it was merged with autism into the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Asperger was considered a different thing for decades becasue people with Asperger are on average considereably less impaired in social situation than people with classic autism. It is actually the same thing and to further distinguish autistic people the three levels of autism have been introduced. So people with what was Asperger are now level 1 autistics and people with other "more severe" forms of autism are level 2 and 3. This has only to do with how much help and accomondation they may need and has nothing to do with the autistic traits, which are diffrent but consistent for all autistic people. When I was a kid I was also very interested in different vehicles, though mostly sailing ships from the 18th to 19th century and utilitarian cars from the mid 20th century. Most kids loved football and pokemons but I prefered going to a museum.
I consider myself the biggest fan of Poseidon 2006 and I am completely crazy about this ship, yes I can say that the 1972 version was authentic but this remastered version added much more, destruction, deaths and extremely strong scenes to each part of the movie.
My first RU-vid video viewing of the year and what better way to start than to hear that Sulzer sound and the noises from the class 37. An excellent video David and a very Happy New Year to you. Cheers - Allan. 🙂
Great you managed to go in the end and a very enjoyable watch, I've found it interesting how East Linton and indeed Reston have new stations but the services arnt as regular what most new stations are but then again its just down to georphry and the services. Reston actually gets more trains than East Linton as LNER stop there where as they dont at East Linton and it also has gaps of up to 5 hours at certain points of the day where as Reston doesn't, Hope you manage to try Barrhead out on a 380 as they are a big improvment
SAC. are more than responsable must have known this situation was coming we now have a prominent town that does not have access to the biggest industrial town in Scotland by direct rail, I constinently travel between glasgow and the south and west of England for more years than. I care to remember and there is no doubt in my mind the sac is not geared for business, overthe course of anumber of years the travelling time by public transport for example from prestwick to ayr is ahockung which is 2.5 m and im including camden town to kings cross which believe it or not is easier , after 6/7 pm at night returning from ayr to said prestwick an utter joke, this council have already made me make drivers redundant because of parking and stopping times for my drivers is there nobody in this council that actually works for the improvemwnt of ayr , a massive SHED were woolworhs once was and. They actually think it's a good job, a great town ruined by council workers and incidentally have a look at their salaries it's like Fawlty towers in reality.
Don't even get me started on South Ayrshire Council. The way Ayr town centre has been allowed to degrade over the last couple of decades is shocking. And they allowed that Ayr Central development which sucked all the retail trade out of the Kyle Centre and the high street. I could go on for pages.
This is very good visually with nice close-ups of the trains and scenery, unfortunately the commentary seems quiet and looses a little in places, audio could do with either boosting or mixing. On the whole, though, an interesting video. Thank you…🚂🚃🚆🚇🚉🚋🚌🚑🚒🚓🚗🚄

Well, Glasgow's much smaller, Glasgow has great public transport. Making use on/above-ground trains, the frequent subway service, extensive bus network, and although not public transport, the Glasgow very walkable.
I think it is a very well done niche product! For me the big thing about the car is, you can repair and change suspension and drive train parts very easyI If you do heavy offroading in the mountains, things are breaking! You get spare parts for a Land Rover axle very easy and fast where ever you are and repair it by yourself. Not every one needs this, but for 2500 car's a year, maybe there is a market... I'm bringing the car hopefully 2024 to Chile for an Expedition in the Atacama to go high up on the Ojos del Salado. I have ordered one of the early ones, hopefully to get the car in Q2 2024! In August I have driven the black one in light off road conditions near Greystoke Castle in a quarry, was great fun! Had been very impressive to drive the car on a little bit muddy terrain. Even with 33" tires, it worked well. But more important for me, had been the gravel surface on steep quarry slope's! It is very easy to give an impulse to the drive train if you need to, the torque is even on the 220 Kw Motor more than enough! The recuperation works very balancing down a slope, never needed the breaks on this circuit. The electric motor make's it very easy and quiet to go on a off road trail, for work or to have fun!
I wonder who is backing them? The car market is notoriously difficult to succeed in. Start you need crazy deep pockets to ramp up to commercial volumes.
Interesting concept, very KISS. Farmers are still looking for a replacement to the Defender 90which can get through tight farm gates and carry feed bags in the back, and a better towing ability than a UTV
A nice video :) Thank you. I used to live really not too far from there 20 odd years ago; Ever since Lawrie's video it's been on my list of places I really want to visit if I can.
