*RARE* GWR HST with a stuck horn arriving at Slough! 

These slough comments never fail to make my day

Lmao

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

slough is a nice place actually

(X) doubt

nah tho the hst has 8, it’s on about the next one in

@@tjh_lfc8326 another words they are talking about a class 180 to Paddington

🤣🤣

I'd sue the company for loss of hearing. 🙉🙉🙉🙉

@@DanielMartin-zf2xe Nah probs 166/165 coupled up

Indeed, hopefully they had a good set of earplugs to hand!

The HST have 4 types of horns; High & low loud And high & low soft. If the horn was stuck on one of the soft tones, the people who are going to repair it will be a bit more lucky

What they’d probably do is shut down the engine and wait for the compressed air to die down and the horn to go, then see what’s the matter with it

Only have to open the cover to the right of the drivers footwell and use the HIC ‘Horn Isolating Cock’ to isolate the air valve which is stuck open, a simple task if you know what to do!

Ivybridge Transport Videos ah thanks never knew that

I want this track on Spotify right now!

#1 Hit single

Mine Too LOL

Hard to tell as camera-mics are not like human ears and are rather directional most of the time and most people tend to use automatic volume control on their camera (or whatever they use), which means that as soon as a louder sound reaches the mic, it will lower ambient sounds. We have such systems in place in The Netherlands as well, but in my opinion they always utterly fail ;)

That’s not the Doppler effect that’s just the horn is the behind the train. Doppler would need a bit more speed to be noticeable

@@Kj_Gamer2614 Actually it is the doppler effect, yes its not very noticeable but it is there

Not me.

Turns out the driver was really doing it on purpose

Nope I couldn't hear it.

Living in Slough would do that already

I don’t blame you. Being in Slough would drive me mad too

I agree with it if they're flying past though

Thomas the Tank Engine? 🤔

There's the Great Western Way and the wrong way... This is just plain wrong! 😂

@@RITCHMO yes based on the railway series story domeless engines is believe

"TAKE HIM AWAY!!!" He bellowed "AND STOP THAT NOISE!!!"

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Except Slough is not bad at all...

Well Tom Scott and this train hates it

@@georgedowns4034 That is simply not the case!

@@TheBearDen nah it is. Pretty cheap, so close to London & Heathrow, great transport links, some posh areas...

"Take him away and STOP THAT NOISE"

I think everyone within a mile radius lost their ears haha!

Haha yeah probably!

Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice reference!😂

I remember that !

lol i was just reading that book about a week ago

Yeah, no kidding! I also remember that!

He would have been embarrassed if anything

Oh dear god if it was a 90/91/DVT that would be bloody terrifying

Or a 66.

It's not a class 82.. It doesn't have a TOPS classification and therefore no class.

Well, one thing he possibly could've done was isolate the horn, if I'm correct there's a way you can do that on the HST's, I believe it's in the footwell..? I may be wrong though.. plus I doubt GWR would've thought that (stuck horn) would happen often, so probably may not have told much about it and how to help it? I'm not too sure to be honest, that's just my guess...

😂😂

Slough is not bad at all

0/10* Means the people are still stuck in Slough

Or doesn't..

Clearly not, it's stuck on. Properly working, would stop blaring after letting go.

But it obviously doesn't

Horns getting air as it should, but the valve that closes the air supply is stuck open, possibly due to an electrical issue, or has failed completely.

it seems that people don't understand what "sarcasm" is...

Thank you!

Thank you!

I love slough...

@@georgedowns4034 Home of Gerry Anderson's Century 21 Productions and Mars Confectionery! Slough gave us Mars bars and Thunderbirds🙂

I assume the Slough haters prefer Cadbury's to Mars chocolate...

Yeah everyone on the public was very confused! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You must definitely be American if you are calling them engineers.

@@OffTheRailsUK Well, I am from Hong Kong and I use British English. The word “engineers” refers to maintenance workers

@@chanandy32 Well the people repairing the train are ever only at the depot, never at the station unless they are rescuing a train.

@@OffTheRailsUK Um... that train will go to the depot and get repaired by the maintenance worker right?

@@chanandy32 Yes but it wasn't an urgent emergency yet, just a horn which would eventually just run out of air. When the service will finish, it will head to the nearest depot or I believe Old Oak Common.

ONLY REAL ONES WILL GET IT

I do

I've no idea I'm afraid, I assume it is a continuous air supply to the horn.

According to rail engineers of America who have experience with this a lot more apparently their is a florescent that dies it down. If this fails they can try re routing the switch to the sander to see if it is a switch issue. If not then their is a cut off that can't be triggered until the train is out of service and in a depot as all trains on main line track must have working horns.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thomas the Tank engine?

You can tell that they turn the volume up as the train comes to a stop.

Modern station announcement systems have sensors and automatically adjust to the ambient noise. They need to, as stations with/without currently moving trains in them are entirely different accoustic situations. As you see it is very adaptable and effective.

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can just imagine it

Thanks for watching Allan, I haven't seen that before either, certainly one for the sound records!

I have no clue why Slough has such a bad reputation

@@georgedowns4034 Deprived area. High unemployment, little to no council funding for improvement and more

@@suediocrude9661 Oh well I have been to Slough recently and I know I have not seen all of it but it looked alright- no worse than other towns. And I am sure if you find the right part of it- it is perfect. Quite cheap and right next to London.

Fortunately, it isn't too loud inside the train.

They don't have second class its "standard" coaches

Good job that someone on the bridge didn't have stones too... We don't have a certain steam engine to cover them in ash (If you don't get it, both that tale and the one about the whistle happened to Henry in the RWS)

Normally a fault with the button/lever that controls the horn.

Yep, they do have air horns

@@Danse_Macabre_125 ah right, thanks for telling me! 👍

Maybe the HST was throwing a tantrum at the prospect of being scrapped one day! ;)

@@ACETrainsUK it was throwing a tantrum because it pulled up to slough

He is called Roger and I think he sounds great

It would normally be the same here and the train would be taken out of service. However, the driver managed to fix it whilst the train was at the station so it was able to continue it's journey.

@@ACETrainsUK That's fair enough! 👍
