Carbon capture technology was coming along nicely too, making this method of producing electricity very efficient and reliable. For those of you who don't know, those big towers are not chimneys for burning coal, they are cooling towers for allowing the escape of excess heat from the process of generating the electricity. I love the Merry Go Round concept. Seeing it up close and personal is quite amazing. I remember seeing the 56s on the production line at Doncaster too. Great times.
Yes, but if you are referring to work experience for train drivers, I don't think they do that. I believe the minimum age for a train driver is 21 or 22. Transperth highly values good customer service experience in for train drivers.
@BennettBrookRailway my guess it's most likely for safety reasons🙁 But the minimum to apply for a position of a train driver is you have to have an unrestricted driver's licence
The one that appears most prominently is Ratcliffe-on-Soar PS, which is still running to this day and is the last coal fired installation in the country. Various coal sidings appear, much of the on the move and aerial footage of trains is between Trent Sth Jnc along the line towards Nottingham, past attenborough.
Yeah, the last out recently closed in Wales. Now we import it instead 😂 Very environmentally friendly, particularly as our Carbon Footprint is minimal compared to the likes of India and China.
@@BennettBrookRailway I'm happy to see anything about the history of UK rail. It has certainly helped as I develop my model railway British "style" here in the U.S. Thanks for every one you've posted.
