I love the railways and all in between! I’m most known for my videos on UK Rail Accidents, but I also make other content such as trainspotting or train reviews! I try to upload at least monthly but I try to do more than that if I can!

Disclaimer: In my derailment and rail incidents documentaries I follow RAIB Documents but sometimes I make mistakes or don't speak too clearly, if you have any doubts with my videos please let me know, all my incident videos are followed with RAIB Published Reports and can be found online just the same way I have found them.
I am *NOT* a professional on these matters and do not claim to be one, I just try and be as informitive as I can based on the information I research.
I'm really sorry but as you gabbled the commentary so much I could not concentrate. The script and presentation would be great if you could just re-record at an appropriate speed? Thansk ad I hopd you take the criticism as conconstructive. Basically: SLOW DOWN!
Driver error. I’m not sure why people are suggesting it is an issue with the signals at the location. All drivers that “sign” there route must know it off by heart and every signal and route indications. Expect anything to happen at anytime. The indicator to divert should have been spotted and understood completely for any qualified train driver. There is no excuse.
Signal confirmation bias is a big issue with the train drivers if you run a route constantly and know all of the signals and not expecting to see a danger aspect signal
The driver had confirmation bias he expected to see and the indication for straight and not expecting to see the route indicator for the up fast specific instructions to the driver from the signaller to tell the driver that they will be crossing to the up fast line at a certain junction would give the driver sufficient time to act in accordance with the train operational rules for certain junctions and observing speed limit changes well in advance also the driver should confirm with the speed limit changes with the signaller
The white line "graphical" route indicators are most certainly a more intuitive way of letting a driver know that they're about to diverge from the current track, compared with an alphanumeric route indicator. Having the signal clear while the trains is still a significant distance away also seems a bad idea. Also, on one video I saw recently, the actual divergence was so far away from the signal that a driver might just forget.
Great video, very informative, well spoken and explained. I'm just glad the incident wasn't more severe; no one was seriously hurt and the loco / track were repaired. Though the signals could be made clearer, I think the main issue is we're all human, lol. We make mistakes, but as I said, I'm just glad this mistake wasn't more severe. The "good" thing is that changes were made to prevent it from happening again so in a way, that's a good result from this. Anyway, great video - subbed. :)
The plan for the Northern Line farewell tour is that the public won't be allowed to play with the horns during the breaks, only staff will be allowed to use the horns. Too many people were ignore staff instructions and doing multiple tones.
What a rude, disrespectful and objectively wrong comment. Keep your malformed opinions to yourself if you have nothing nice to say. This is my first video on this channel and I have no problems with his voice, accent or use of the English language.
indeed it is. her name is Julie Berry and she is also used on these operators: Southern Southeastern Thameslink Gatwick Express Great Northern Greater Anglia C2C Chiltern Railways
Amazing video mate i really enjoyed watching, very informative i like how you have different stuff to other 390 history videos, such as the EPS speed limits and how there was originally a 50/50 split between standard and first class, thats ridiculous! I had no clue either of these things were a thing before this video❤👍
The announcements at 2:52 and the following announcement...the timing just couldn't be any better! 😂 I can hear myself laughing, that was a good day in coach F. 😊
also, the system used on the 507s and 508s isn't actually TrainFX, it's BTROS (Whiteleys), the exact same as these train types: current: 158 (ScotRail units) 165 (Chiltern units) 168 170 (excluding Northern which was downgraded to TrainFX in late 2022) 171 172 318 320 (original batch of 320/3s as the ex FCC/GN and ex LM batch of 320/4s have the Axion (SAViewCom) system) 357 375 376 377 378 379 387 465/466 former: 315 (both Overground and Elizabeth line/Tfl Rail, installed by Greater Anglia in around 2014) 442 (Southern/Gatwick Express and SWR units) 455 (Southern units) 456 (Southern units)
