Electric traction is the most efficient way of hauling trains. Next time we visit the West Coast, prepare for Mk3, APT and InterCity! For now though, the pioneering work through the 60's and 70's to electrify Britain's first mainline.

Old short BR documentary videos with 80s-inspired music is a vibe I never thought I could get behind.

Intercity makes the going easy. So much high voltage in one video I'm buzzing!!😆

He doesn’t make them. They’re ripped-off 1960s documentaries. He doesn’t even speak English…”Railwaves”?!

When Britain had greatness....

@danielfield2570 Год назад

Travelling down the WCML now. Still see many of the fixtures still up, albeit modernised, testament to the ambition of that time. My only gripe is that the ECML, GW, GE and pennine routes as well as the whole network should’ve been electrified sooner!

@bb-3653 Год назад

It's a shame it's 2023 and nothings been done to improve the third rail to either a more efficient voltage, better the power supply or to remove it entirely amd replace it with overhead lines.

@PeteS_1994 Год назад

5:33. I am guessing those pipes that are in the front of different British rail old trains are for coupling???

@Reaper1770 Год назад

Those are for im guessing brake pipe and vaccum hoses and cablea to do MU

@elizabetharas5748 Месяц назад

They're mostly for linking up each wagon for the vaccum braking system. That's why in the steam era there were such things as "Fitted" wagons (wagons fitted with vaccum brakes and vaccum brake piping) and "Unfitted" wagons, wagons which did not have vaccum braking. You can tell the difference between them due to the lack of vaccum braking hoses. British Rail mostly used the screwlink coupler system for their couplings.

fyi its modernisation not modernization, alot of spell checkers, such as the one built into Windows and Google's browser, default to american English, rather than real English.
