Cab Ride - Staines to Woking Up Yard 

Thank you for the interesting video. Always enjoy them. Cheers mate!🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

This series of videos has been very enjoyable; and it was good to take the Byfleet Curve on this section of the journey.

Wow, quite nippy these track machines😁

Thanks again. As I said in my comment on the last video, Staines to Weybridge (Addlestone Junction) is my old stamping ground. Trainspotting at Weybridge and, during school term time, 7 years of travelling between Virginia Water and Egham. Lots of changes over the years. Rusham crossing, between Egham and Virginia Water, was mechanically operated so had its own little signal box. Where the (relatively new) footbridge and lifts 'sits' on Platforms 2 and 3 at Virginia Water is just about where the signal box used to be. There used to be a chord between the two lines at Virginia Water which, in my time, only seemed to be used one week a year for Royal Ascot 'specials.' Thanks again and keep 'em coming!

Thank you! loved every minute of that journey! never scene the other lines and stations in Surrey, now I have! Brilliant!

This additional video is mega! These machines seem just the ticket for cab ride recording, and the routes taken are fantastic to go along. Well edited and so many thanks for doing them. The more, the merrier!

Nice to see your doing your videos again I’ve watched all your videos they are amazing 🤩

Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Australia.

Nice journey, thanks.

Many thanks yet again this video was well worth waiting for it alows me to see many parts of the network that I will never be able to visit and some of the movemnts that you have taken me too that normaly are never showned Many thanks

Great video.

You have interesting videos

Nice video again. I particularly liked the overcast sky and the rain spots, as i was watching in temperatures of 33 C. Those tampers really crack on for speed, up to 60 mph I believe. I bet you don't usually hold up normal commuter traffic, probably the other way round!

Thank you again from Paul

Thank you for uploading, I enjoyed that. It was nice to follow progress on Google Maps at the same time. Were you knackered after that run?

Thanks for another fab video, I hope you weren't in a hot cab toady! I presume you take the lower speed at the differential speed restrictions, although it's not a heavy freight train?

I was wondering who chooses the route you take for these kind of movements. Also, how much advance notice of the route details do you get as a driver? And if a change is necessary mid-trip do they call you on the radio or phone? Thanks again for sharing this long trip. Cheers from Wisconsin!

☺️ great series! I'm curious though, at 10:13 there's a white circular sign with a black triangle...there's another one shortly after. I've seen these before but have always wondered what they mean?

Awesome. Although someone else recently posted a video of the same bit of track, this is the only one I've seen that goes all the way into Woking Down Yard, so that's very helpful. Thanks! Do you regularly drive any other SWR routes during daylight hours? Oh, and the reverse direction would be interesting too. :)

3:31 What's the dumb bell shaped object in the middle of the track just after the crossing? I've only ever seen them on the Southeast and Liverpool 3rd Rail systems not on overhead lines... Been bugging me for a while so I thought I'd ask...

Blimey,..do you have to get a taxi, back to the tea shack?

🚂👍

A ( very tiny ) part of the ( withdrawn ) Anglia trains passenger service [ Norwich to Basingstoke ] , apart from the Woking goods yard , of course ! .... the Addlestone turn off was almost never used for passenger services until the 1990's , but the " Crosslink " service ( as above ) was VERY slow , but fun to ride .... another great unusual trip video ! ! ..........

@emmo999 - At 3:00 in this video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HiI_H6U6Stw.html - Is this what you drive?

Compared with Slovenia,.. this is obysmal. (cheap ) diesel track, rattling all over the place and you pay a fortune! Yes even Slovenia!!!! ( and i'am Dutch)...
