Thank you for not having music over the journey, and just the sounds of the train. There are plenty of RU-vidrs like Don Coffey who do this and get substantial interest, so I sincerely hope their success bleeds off a little into your channel 😃👍👍
I love that you included the announcements, and sounds from the ride rather than put music over the whole thing. The facts are great too. This is so relaxing!
Even though I don’t live in the uk let alone Europe it’s amazing seeing a real time trip on the railway and more interesting than the goods trains we see here in Canada
A very interesting video, thanks. Great respect to the drivers on these routes - the level of concentration needed so as to note every signal flashing by must be considerable.
The detail and work which went into editing this video with all the facts and information at every moment is what maks LNER the best operator in the UK. you all clearly care so much. amazing work. PS: oh wow!! the google 'groundscaper' has had some of its scaffolding removed. it looks INCREDIBLE, wow. so impressive
Wow, I haven't visited the Cross for a while. I can't believe all the new buildings. The new track layout looks much simpler. Best view in the house. It should be piped into screens down the train for enthusiastic customers.
Recommend the Harrogate to Leeds video. Lovely scenery and includes the fantastic entrance to the Bramhope Tunnel, which runs directly under our house!
@@dapto234Amateur footage will always have screenwash/wipers in action occasionally to keep the view clear. And yet here we have the company itself, the 'LNER", not doing this on a basically promotional video!
I'm surprised the UK allows level crossings on high-speed lines. The U. S. Federal Railroad Administration requires grade separation for any line with a maximum allowable speed of 110 mph or more.
New level crossings aren’t permitted and the number is gradually reducing across the network but this line dates back to the Great Northern Railway of 1850! Thanks for watching 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Great video certainly nice to see from the drivers perspective. Would love to see a view from your, class 91 and mk4 set in heritage intercity livery. Hopefully in a few years will be me in the drivers seat driving for my local area in East Suffolk 👍
As a child living in Aylesbury, North West of London, I used to get told off whenever we went there for saying "We're going up to London," instead of down. Since finding out that all railway lines going towards London are designated as 'UP' lines, I feel somewhat vindicated :D
I gotta ask, what do all the little dings and beeps mean? Also this video is phenomenal! As an American who loved traveling on the train in England, I'm glad that you guys post this because it brings so many good memories for me, and it's also somewhat helpful in planning my next trip this summer!
Single beeps are from AWS (automatic warning system) if the train is approaching a green signal you hear a higher pitched beep, if it’s approaching a yellow or red signal you hear a lower pitched beep, if the tone isn’t acknowledged within a few seconds the emergency brakes will come on, the repeated beep is the dsd (drivers safety device) if acts as a deadman’s pedal, if the controls aren’t moved for 60 seconds the beeping starts and again if not acknowledged the emergency brakes come on
For fans of this, have a look at don coffey's channel here on RU-vid. He does cab rides with facts scattered through. No telemetry though. There are also plenty of other cab rides from the UK and other countries, best search term is: train cab ride
Absolutely amazing. As I`m a railway lover it's a dream to be a part of your professional team. But it`s imposible, because i`m not from the UK... Thanks for the video.
Really enjoyed the video along with all the “Did you know” information. Only critique is an occasional swipe with the wiper/washer would be appreciated to clear the windshield.
This is a nit pick. 14:18 Up/Down - I am of the understanding this means going towards or away from the population centres, not specifically north/south. It also makes no sense that Up would always mean South, there's also east/west to consider, Up/Down is still used there. Granted, this whole Up/Down thing is confusing.
It's always up to London, down away from it. If the original company that built a specific line didn't go to London then its up to the location of their headquarters
Can i suggest as well as the speed the train is doing, also add the line speed and line name too. Oh on another note, if the drivers could clean the windscreen more offen
Excellent Feature video of a route I've travelled many many times, could possibly have been even better with a clean windscreen, but that's nit-picking. can't wait for the next one.
@@DownTheLineASMR SEE LNER AZUMA INTERIOR CAB VIEWS BY youtube MEMBER TRAINS BOATS PLANES ,AZUMA FRONT CAB VIEW FROM 4 YEARS AGO , wiper positioned in middle of cab screen on bottom ,which covers the screen ,cant argue with that view of front of the azuma can you?wiper not used during journey ,see beginning of video ,and end of video ,same dirty screen .
My advice to you all is not to go back to The Cross.......it will make you cry! But imagine the Pacifics at full regulator hammering through both long tunnels, otherwise they will not make it up Holloway Bank!
For the benefit of your foreign viewers, a photo/video of the locomotive and train would add context and an immersive element. Otherwise an enjoyable journey. Thanks for the upload.
I play Train Sim, and id love to know: How would you typically accelerate from the platform in the Azuma? E.g Notch 1 till 5mph, 2 till 20mph etc etc. What is standard procedure?
Hello again, Trams are they a United Kingdom invention as well, where and when did they come from, isn't their forward and reverse motion identical to the Electric Trains you guys are running in your videos today, no one seems to write or say anything about them, they just seem to just be, because during still being little in the early 50's, the government settled us in La Perouse Botany Bay in Sydney, and a Tram used to go from La Perouse to Central Station for a penny and Steam Trains were still running here and there as well, so where did the Trams come from, please if you know. Mick
Great information: but I must have missed the announcement that Peterborough has one of the three greatest Romanesque (Norman) cathedrals in England: the other two being Ely and Durham.
Great cab ride view video with added information. More of the same please - on other LNER routes I mean! Though same route in different weathers may also be interesting.
The speed is in miles per hour. Interestingly, although the railway was never metricated, our InterCity 225 fleet gets its name from its max operating speed of 225km/h (or 140mph) while our former InterCity 125 fleet got its name from its maximum 125mph operating speed.
Sounds like the driver had forgotten to do the brake reset during cab set-up, hence why the alarm sounded at 0:17 when they moved the master switch to forward 🙂 Putting the brake into emergency and back again will fix the problem,
I'm currently studying the railways of Southern London, but I would say that this main line is better than the Brighton Main Line. The south side still has those pesky third rails, which lose voltage in heavy snow, or even get shorted out as they did in the Elevated Lines of New York City during very heavy snow storms. Also, the 'Orange Army' of maintenance crew must avoid being electrocuted by the third rail when walking about during maintenance. Overhead Kilowatt wires trump in terms of function, but of course they don't look as beautiful to average folk. Aarre Peltomaa
