Did you know Andy Saqladi was the youngest signaller on the network at the time, he rose up the ranks to become Area Production Manager rising up to be a big manager and managing teams and projects also him and his familiy running successful businesses, he was kept in the industry for some years before moving on to Southern Waters and Anglian waters a complete departure from what he did before!
I'd not seen this video, before today, but I recognise parts of it. I was involved in the making of it whilst the production company were using NVR as a location. I was Pilot on board the Cl.66 with the union Jack on the sides. I was allowed to drive it when positioning between scenes, and got a ride from the NVR line to Peterborough Station.
@@PottersVideos2 No, it arrived with a driver, I was the Conductor aboard the Cl.66 for route knowledge whilst it was at NVR. I was also NVR's duty man on the ground for the event on the first day.
There was a GBRF Cl.66 & a Freighliner Cl.47 with ten low sided box wagons. I remember the guy driving the Cl.66 was named Ken Hook. Ken was one of the original, early members of the NVR. Filmed at NVR over two days, I was Duty Director for NVR and Pilot on the Cl.66 on the first day. Was one of Dave Dores videos.
Would a driver face disciplinary action for a SPAD if a signal suddenly returns to danger? If they've made every effort to stop, surely they're not to blame for any wrongdoing?
@@lolzlolz102 True that, in fact there are situations which can lead to SPADs (formerly Cat A SPADs) but which wouldn't be the driver's fault, and so would not result in any action being taken against them.
@@PottersVideos2 Railtrack was a private company whereas Network Rail is a public company. This uploader incorrectly puts NR in the description of these Railtrack videos.
I'm not certain but I think it is Dave Dore (the guy who owned the video production company) who is playing the part of the Signalling Technician seen at 03:46.
