Drivers Eye View: Waterloo to Basingstoke 

Hello Portugal. Waterloo is one of MULTIPLE stations in London, along with Kings Cross, Euston, Paddington etc. Waterloo has 27 platforms, to service a variety of different area's on the South West of England such as, Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth, Salisbury and Weymouth for example, but trains for different destinations can leave at the same time, be it, Either trains that stop at every stations, or Express that only stop at Key stations. Then you have Different trains to one destination, but different paths. Waterloo to Portsmouth, which breaks from the main line at Woking, Guildford, Hazelmere to Portsmouth, or the Waterloo to Portsmouth which breaks off at Eastleigh, then Fareham, and ends up at Portsmouth but takes longer in travel time. So yes, you can have 5 different trains (or more) leaving at the same time, down the same track, until they eventually break off on to their own side routes. www.projectmapping.co.uk/Reviews/Resources/SWR%20NetworkMap1.pdf

and interchanges such as Richmond or lovely places such as Windsor And Eton Riverside

Why are there children 8n the cab with the driver, as it is not allowed at any time, this driver should be sacked as it is against rail rules ?

I think you mean Exeter or Plymouth. Don't think any trains have gone direct from Waterloo to Penzance.

can i ask what loco you are referring to? like i have no idea what train was classed as a Hoover but I'm just taking a guess now was it the 73s

@@oforid2227 "Hoover" refers to the BR Class 50 diesel-electric locomotives.

@@pauloconnor2980 oh ok thanks

They’re back :)

Yes, so many lines in so many directions, and they are still adding to it. I wonder if they were all put into a single straight line how far it would stretch. Probably round the world!

Another View Because most crossings have barriers so there's no need to unlike in the USA which are open crossing

Excuse me

I thought he was amazing!

How easily people forget that in order to become an adult who watches a train video you must first be a child who likes trains.

+Max Ash i will drive this train when im a grown up

+Nida Nazir I wanna drive either a 455 or 377 (Southern Metro Services). Don't mind these ones though.

TheBVE2010 i will do that when im a grown up

On that section of the line the max limit is 90MPH.but some sections are 60 or 80.

Dana Mack Good on you. There are a lot of chips on their shoulders:-))) Sounds like a chat between crew not just a driver and an enthusiastic young man.

Isochest Thanks for you input - sounds like you are a good guy! I was a brakeman on the old Rock Island Railroad in central Oklahoma - if you want to send me an email you can at dc_mack@comcast.net . I can attach my railroad video file that I keep all the links to videos I like - over 77 pages worth, along with a spreadsheet of my trainspotting tallies I take each Saturday at the Northeast Kansas City Public Library. While my wife attends Spanish class I sit in the car with my scanner and tally sheet and watch the trains and listen to them on the radio. It is cool! I see anywhere from a low of 14 to a high of 29 trains in four hours! Anyway, cheers for now, Dog

Robbi496 Only local train services. Most Inter City services are pulled by locomotives although they mostly have a cab at both ends like Pendolinos.

thanks

11:20 - you can just see the underground/tube trains on the right hand side as we pass through there. One of the tube lines ends at Wimbledon and it shares a station site with the line we are riding on.
