Ahhh my go to for insomnia, this guys voice is perfect for getting to sleep, I’m serious it’s so relaxing, like listening to the shipping forecast but this is understandable, educational (should I ever change careeer) and I love it. 👍♥️
Interesting video especially the stock interchange track linking northern and wirral line together. I believe this used to be the old wirral line going from hamilton square to central via James st and when the loop line got built, the stock interchange took it over.
Yes, I think so too. I travelled between New Brighton and Liverpool Central many times in the mid 1960s. At that time there were no branches between James St and Central. Trains from the Wirral travelled directly from James St to Liverpool Central (Low Level then) Platform 1 (All Change) they then disappeared forwards into a "Reversing siding" and re-entered the station at Platform 2 to load for the return journey to the Wirral via James St.
Track on Bootle Jc is rusty... thats tells how rarely use that part of section. I know when this was taken for training but can't see any trains on both direction. must be something happens when this taken ? i like the UKs tran network design for bidirectional in some part even signals, tracks are ready for
The points are hand operated/not locked if I'm looking correctly, so running through them would be like changing them by hand and shouldn't damage them, as it would normal points?
This is a driver training video for adverse movements. This training video covers less commonly used movements for reversals, shunts and single line working should the driver ever need them.
MrEkg98 this network is massively different to that of the tube, not to mention the trains themselves (Classes 507 and 508) which are of the Sub-Surface or Standard train gauge whereas the Tube type trains only seen in London are shorter in Body and Bogies. Not to mention this network having only 3rd rail electrification and not 4th rail. But to answer the premise of your question, to become a driver on any railway network here in the UK you have to be at least 21 years of age (expect for the London Underground which is 18 years of age) and for most of the time it can take any length of time between 2 and 4 years of training to drive.
@@dustybinproductions4779 To be fair, I can see how a foreigner might assume "Tube" is a general name for underground railways/metros, and not what it actually is; the _specific_ name for London's underground metro.
Like DanielChristopherTS said: "This is a driver training video for adverse movements. This training video covers less commonly used movements for reversals, shunts and single line working should the driver ever need them."
This particular training video covers less commonly used movements for reversals, shunts and single line working etc. It's useful for the drivers to know them as there can be occasions where they need to be used to keep services running.
