CHAOS as TRACK DAMAGE Blocks access to Burton Wetmore Sidings!! 15/08/22 

I was once held outside a terminal station, waiting for an empty platform to bring my passenger train in, but the main problem, as logistics and rosters found out was, that i was waiting for the train that i am booked to take out to leave before i can get in. I knew what was happening as my working service sheet was in front of me, but i decided it was their muck up as i couldn't be in two train cabs at the same time and sat and ate my sandwiches, until my radio cab phone rang and a signalman asked who i was. I told them that as far as i could see, i was waiting for myself to take the train in platform three out, so i could bring the train i was sitting in, into platform three. Eventually a spare driver appeared who took my train out into a siding, so i could enter station and was met by a red faced train crew supervisor, who apologised to me for my own delay. This was about1995, Charing Cross. London.

Love the driver of the 67 just casually waiting it out whilst eating his sandwich - clearly not his first rodeo

Good video the grid was kicking out some nice clagg and some busy movements in that place I will have to take a mooch up and have a look soon and take a ride up from Manchester!

I live only a mile from here, but had no idea the old wagon works were so active and operationally interesting! And full!!

CRACKING GOOD CAPTURES. thank you for sharing 😀😀😀😀

Great video - nice to see it busy. Great to see the 56 too.

Great little video. Love all the various bits of action going on, and to see Burton so busy

Fascinating video, a lovely catch. Thank You for uploading!

Interesting video, thanks.

Right place, right time. Well done

Cool vid. Thanks. Live Action everywhere! 👍👍

I saw 67007 at the lbgt pride weekend in Brighton on the 6-7/8/22 with the balmond pullman along with 67024 spoke with the driver onboard and walked the entire pullman I had such a blast of a weekend and a lovely look around the pullman train it’s kick started my interest for the railways working on it. 😊 I can’t wait to see where my journey takes me next.

Awsome clag from the 56

Like 5 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍🙋‍♂️

great video

Interesting vid mate I enjoyed that one

Got there like wasps them workmen haha

Harry and Burt causing havoc again 😂😂😂

Top catch! Plenty to see at least his location, so few spots with any freight workings near me.

That 67 looks good in its purple overcoat 😊

Great footage, I haven't seen 47744 around there recently, I wonder if it's inside?

can't help but notice that red & black 08 behind the lead one with only two axles and no siderods, i wonder why it had its middle one removed...

I originate from close to B-u-T Interesting.. Nice to see old stuff.. Praps to be reconed... 🤔

Looking around the wing rail and nose on the switch.

Where about is such location? Any close to Burton-on-Trent station? Thank you for sharing the interesting video report. Hpe to get the celebrity purple skip any time soon whilst fresh and shiny pain looking. Take care.

Great timing and camera work. 6:20 made me laugh 4 guys staring at a bit of track. Funny how RU-vid popped this up.

Benjamin Disraeli was still alive when some of this equipment was made.

Purple sits well on a 67.

Stunning capture, love the modern technology used to repair matters. Methinks the place might be suffering from capacity issues?

so the loco got stuck IN the Frog?

Nice catch indeed!!! Do you know if those locos behind the gronks are awaiting overhaul? Liam

So, what WAS the actual problem ? Was that a jack or a welder they rolled to the site ? Was it a derail, or was it the frog flangeway got too tight ?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a hot weather metal expansion problem.

I'd of had it fixed in 5min !!! Shrewsbury Pway 179gang . Too old to look at a bloody Shovel these days . Lol Nice vid. Guessing Crossing nose bolt and spacer block buggered. 👍😎

nice video! what livery is the second 08? (the red/black one)

Although I've been an enthusiast for some time now , where do 08sget the name gronk from ? Great footage buddy

Been past here many times, are these trains awaiting scrapping or is this a repair centre

Is the steel still delivered in the VGAs over the other side or has all that finished ?

3:00 Can't be stuck if its liquid.

Shame Jase don't still work at Nemesis, he would have sorted it quicker..

Do i see two yellow power cars?

Is the brown 67006 a unit from the Royal Train? I see The Coat of Arms and an ER plaque on her?

In 1969 this took two men and a block of wood to resolve a derail shunt!

What the hell did they need to weld or cut to get that moving ? Me thinks something fell off the Gronk ?

Are they being scrapped?

Shocking video. The PPE worn here is a disgrace, and shows a complete disregard for the compliance with the PPE at Work Regulations.

So what actually broke

I love it how the proud British nation always claim that they've won the war, yet their great railways have been invaded by the DB (Deutsche Bahn) or German Railways🤣🤣. No offence, but it's a bit funny to see the DB logo on a British locomotive
