A varied selection of HD and 4K videos, including cab ride videos, recording the current railway scene across the UK.
The 'Spotlight On...' series will be short video segments (generally 5-15 minutes long), which focus on a particular location or line, featuring both stills and video recorded there when I visited.
@MyRailwayVideos I am making a film for GTR about Ladbroke Grove 1999 accident, and wondered if I could use a short clip showing the approach to SN109 signal? I can add a credit. Thanks
Thank you. Two round trips as an approximation = four trips per day. Though as you say that fluctuates and is often 5, though it's also sometimes less.
Hello Sir. A quick question. If I were to credit you on this amazing and truly immersive cab ride, would you be ok with me using this video as a reference to making the Cotswold Line in Train Simulator? It’s an integral missing part to the game
Can anyone tell me the information given along with the station names at stops? I'm guessing the number with the m at the end is the distance travelled in miles. But what is the number accompanied by cc?
I attended Kingham Hill School in the 50,s when there was a line from Cheltenham to Chipping Norton.At Kingham Station the platform was over on the far right looking west which also served trains going to "Chippy".There was also a "crossover" just beyond the station mainly for freight traffic going directly to C Norton &,until the early 50,s,on to Banbury. Kingham Station looks very different these days!
Without doubt,taking all the elements which make up a cab ride video,this is,insofar as I can recall probably the best I have ever seen,though the route may have had something to do with that,especially after leaving Oxford behind.
Great video. This trip is surly on my Bucket List. From four track mainline to single track secondary lines, what a contrast. As a viewer from Canada it is sure interesting to see passenger trains travelling at 100 mph on single track. In North America the speed in most parts of the continent is kept to 75 mph, not to mention being held for freight trains. Re the comment at 38 mins. I noticed a flying junction at Northallerton to get freight trains onto the North Easton line to wards Sunderland. If they could afford this in the late 19th century, what's the problem today. It just needs commitment from Network Rail. I'm sure that commuters from Oxford would appreciate it. Too many engineers think in the terms of money instead of convenience. In regards to the point in the video at 02:07:00 Great Malvern station; we increase from five to nine coaches. Where did the extra train, added to ours, come from?
I really enjoyed this, thank you. I was struck by the small number of passengers who seemed to be boarding at each station. Was this a particularly quiet day?
@1.09.16 the line has a public horse bridleway that crosses. Tricky enough at 75mph…. I often crossed it with my dog for nearly 30 years…frankly, it is fast enough as it is.
Can someone tell me why they would remove the double tracks ? Also thanks for this video its very relaxing and ive always wondered whay the linr looks like post oxford
J'ai visionné avec grand plaisir cette vidéo, c'est un beau travail 👍. Les chemins de fer anglais ont un style tout à fait particulier, mêlant modernité (rames automotrices bi-mode récentes) et aspect vintage ( signaux mécaniques, architecture des gares), qui est plaisant. De plus, un "HST" qui fait "train stop" sur une jolie ligne campagnarde est impensable sur les autres réseaux. Encore une fois merci et bravo. Amitiés de Belgique 🤗
Considering how much emphasis network rail put on safety with their TV adds and signage etc,, you would think a whistle sign, 30 feet from the actual crossing on a 70mph stretch would be seen as unacceptable. 2.23.09
I have a question: around the 33-34 minutes mark you say that the noise is erroneous (there’s a double yellow signal ahead) and the driver must press a pedal to prevent the emergency brakes to be applied. This sound is the standard in Train Simulator 2014-2016… has something changed from those years? Each time the signal is not green the player has to press a key to ack the noise and avoid the emergency brake to be applied. Why is the sound erroneous now?
This video is like a time-machine winding back! From 21-century London to Hereford and Oxford without electricity.....With old-fashioned semaphore signals it seems that this railroad-track ends up in a museum! To my great surprise I saw a few relics of "good old" Isambard Kingdom Brunel appearing....And I've witnessed a sharp increase in the penalty when you are trespassing on the railroad. It is skyrocketing from 1000 to 2000 quit within a few miles! ( Take a close look at Pershore and Worcestershire Parkway stations.....The red signs on the end of the platforms!) Whose bonkers idea is this?? You'd better file a complaint to GWR! And communicate with the railway police or even the Secretary of Justice in London.....Worcester Shrub Hill Station is build during the Brunel era, in my opinion. It consists of a scruffy station with rusty tracks and long time worn out buildings and was never modernised ever since Victorian days.....But without steam trains, unfortunately.....By the way: the penalty for trespassing on the rail tracks is now "decreased" to 200 quit! I am asking myself who is responsible for this railroad.....Can you figure this out? It is an interesting experience to travel on British railroads.....A very nice video indeed, but the penalty policy on British railroads is a bit difficult to understand, I'm afraid. A very interesting video that begins in the middle of London and ends in the middle of nowhere......
