(Drivers Eye View) London Liverpool Street - Ilford TMD 

...and now, the 317s themselves are gone, for over a month now(!) (On that note, as are many of the classes spotted!)

@@fetchstixRHD I actually was on a 317 last night, strangely

@@ashtray314: Damn, did they end up bringing them back?

@@fetchstixRHD I’m not sure, they make a very rare appearance

did you reveal the drivers eye view from Liverpool Street to ilford

There was once said link that went both W+E from NP on to the GE that was lost when the CL was opened-ish. Plessy use the link for building and car park till current houses were built.

TRIPLEVALVE62 THE DEPOT so the depot replaced the Newbury park line

todd hunter it means there’s a possible single yellow ahead. A flashing double means you’ll expect a flashing single wish then means the next signal is a diverging single yellow. That then means you need to assume the road is at danger. Hope that helps :)

Would love some links to them!

They probably were not allowed to publish them so were asked to take them off, filming in train cabs is a grey area

Are u able to send me those videos if you still have them

Ha ha ha😀😀😀😀 you nailed it

Every TOC, when they run a recruitment programme for train drivers, they either look for "Experienced or Qualified Drivers" or they run a run a programme called "Trainee Train Drivers", in which, the latter is what you need to apply for. C2C were recruiting part-time Trainee Drivers for last summer (2021), its best to always check each TOC's careers website to see what they have. The other way you can become one is, if you get a job such as a platform assistant job with GA, then, when an internal opportunity for a trainee train role appears, you can apply within.

Coborn road

Or any other train service going that way

This service was by Abellio Greater Anglia as Tfl didnt take over the line until the 31st of May 2015 and this video was made in 2012, Tfl rail will change to the Elisabeth Line (Crossrail) in December 2018 when the rail opens according to schedule :)

What cat?

Too many short blocks in that stretch. I don't know why the signals are so close together as far out as that: it isn't the same on other routes, including out of central London, once one clears the complexities of close-together junctions and multiple roads/routes. It doesn't seem to be necessary, at least to this (admittedly inexpert) eye…

He's using the down suburban lines, used by the high-frequency Shenfield "Metro" services. The short signalling blocks are short to allow this high-capacity service that runs every six-minutes in the peak.

Sorry might be 7 years too late, it's Bishopsgate station (maps.nls.uk/view/103313324#zoom=5&lat=11284&lon=7191&layers=BT).

Bonfire in someone's garden

Thanks my friend

No problem :-)

RenegadeChauffeur no someone is doing bonfire or a barbecue. And it's summer 2012

+Oliver Roy it's the Advance Warning System, the klaxon is to tell the driver the signal ahead is at single/double amber or at danger (red) depending normally on the position of your last aspect. The bell indicates the signal is off (green) .

+TomSee automatic warning system

if you like

"if you like" to be correct.

@@Faulty720 It's yellow, there is no such thing as amber on a signal and you never say double yellow - it is ONE yellow or TWO yellows

Kaci Lynn 317's are maintained at Ilford!

GA, have been using 317s for quite a while, usually leased or used from their limited stock.

TFL rail will be starting wage 26k then upto 40k something

TFL Rail is now £59261

gfusion insane wages :(

Most train operators pay great salaries but say goodbye to your own life, money isn't everything, that's why the last 20 years have seen more drivers leave the job early, something that was unheard of before privatisation

Permissive working, see the two white lights come on under the main signal?

+David Bowery yes indeed

When your chasing reds or yellows, it is called chasing aspects.
