Gary Coleman was an American actor, probably best known for his role in ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ and his catchphrase “what’chu talkin’ ‘bout”. His short stature kind of resembles the platform assistant in this video. A little joke!
Man seeing the old livery is a real blast from the past, lol anyone remembers before Anglia one when it was Anglia with its turquoise livery, also let us have a moment of silence for the Class 90 train and its British Rail Mark 3 coaches, Some of my fondest memories of traveling to London were on the British Rail Mark 3 coaches pulled by a class 90, I do have to say they had some of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in,
Interesting that they say you should check that not to be moved boards are removed - I was taught that unless you personally put it there in the first place, you shouldn't even touch it under any circumstances
if the TM is the third staff on board, then he will be more Customer-Services oriented and leaving the technical stuff to the guard, not sure how BR works but this is what it is in Japan
+volante8657 in the UK since the railway were privatised some train companies called the the second person after the driver a Train Manager others call him the old traditional name of the Guard. Both do the same job.
A train manager is the person responsible for not only themselves, but other people on the train (not the driver), like first class hosts, and other catering staff. They are usually on intercity trains. Senior conductors are responsible for the train when it's only them and a driver on board. It's usually regional routes that will have this. In both instances they can be referred to as guards. Both have equal responsibility for their train.
Paul Press worked as an actor, for Spa Films (I think it is called), and then bought the company. I do not know why his surname would be 'Tyerman', Max Ganesh. The guy that did the 80s safety videos did the USA political series that the BBC ran this year, or has the same voice.
That's no fun! You can't beat sprinting for a train and hoping on the last carriage as it pulls away! a great feeling of satisfaction when you collapsed in your seat with the little old ladies tut-tutting around you! lol.
I remember "One" Railway which became National Express East Anglia. Before it was taken over by Abellio who rebranded it as Greater Anglia. And Greater Anglia are still going as strong since they replaced the older trains with new trains that are lot more better. But shame that the Class 379 Electrostars were replaced by the Class 745 and Class 720.
When were the dispatch batons introduced in the UK? In continental Europe they've been around since the 19th century, along with the platform dispatcher's ubiquitous red hat, but I thought the british practice involved the green flag/lamp as the sole "proceed" signal used
I know this is an old comment, but it's just the nature of LEDs more than anything - green/blue LEDs will be less bright for the same power rating as red.
1:52 Oh yeah, just take that NOT TO BE MOVED board off mate, I'm sure it's not there for any good reason 🙄 Be a right hoot when they get halfway to Norwich and the train splits in half, or they find the remains of a poor maintenance bloke wedged under a carriage. Mad that this was apparently a legit procedure 😂
