Ten 37's, Harry Needle 20's, Scrap Workinngs & Mixed Freight - 2019/2020 

michael taylor exactly! Can’t old MK2s be replaced with refurbished mk3s ? So confusing

TheGooseLord HEALTH AND SAFTEY no plus they were not good for disabled people giving them access Mk 5 do !

Monkey Nutz that’s why LNER coaches which these are being moved to EMR because they conform to disabilities act unlike the current EMR/EMT

Paul Jones NOT for long they are being replaced end of 2020 with Hitachi trains class 810 ! See EMR website although now with Coronavirus kicking off it might be earlier than expected...

Do you not mean they might now be replaced later than expected?

Thank you, Dave, for watching. 37s are my favorite old locos and still working on the mainline...

@@DJBTrains Why is the train doubled headed. The 37s would each be capable of pulling such a short rake of 8 coaches on their own.

Thanks, Mike. Stay safe...

London Emergency TV they are gorgeous . I lean towards large-logo BR blue with big yellow ends and silver roof, but that heritage green livery shows how long 37s have been working. It's not like they've had to gut them and spoon the inner workings of a 66 or an MTU prime mover to keep them working either. They got the tractors right the first time!

Yes I agree, they look great in green with small yellow ends. By the way, that's a heck of a tight curve at the beginning of the video!

Thank you very much for watching...

Paul Jones it's a criminal waste. They are comfier to ride in than the budget airline grade stuff being rolled out now.

Because they've had it, they're all full of rust. They've reached the end of their working lives.

@@matthewrandall1061 Ui

bring then to New Zealand we have about 100 ex mk2 cars

@@nzr.explorer4660 Tron Express!

Thank you C&A, great to still see the 37s on the mainline...

The ex-virgin mk3s were being taken for scrap, the loco and coaches were provided by LSL for towing use. 10:50 was a Anglia mk2

Train at 12:07 is OHLE testing

At 10:50 the first coach is an anglia mk2.

Than you Toby. I am okay now mate...

Cheers for watching, Kyle...

Thank you for that...

Cheers Colin, One or two 37s mate. Keep Safe out there Colin...

Should be made into homes for the homeless.

Vincit Veritas Turning them into homes would be far more expensive than, well, building houses...

Cheers, for watching, a great sound...

Thank you for watching...

Cheers, James...

Thank you for watching. So much as moved on to scrap yard just down this way to Newport docks...

Thanks 👍

Hi, Dan...

@@DJBTrains hello

Thank you very much, Marc...

What a waste of 52 million pounds putting automatic doors on mk3 inner-city 125 coaches plus fitting new waste tanks for what to be scrapped and come back as recycled Kia's from Taiwan makes my piss boil no wonder rail fares are sky high as some poor bastards have to pay for it!!!🤬🤬🤬

The class 43 power cars could be reused for freight it wouldnt be hard to put a number 2 nose end on a few of them! Or run them in 5 car sets on lines that have shortages of sprinters/dmu's they must have another 10 years in them after all the millions that was spent on them recently!!!🤬🤬🤬

A number of Class 57 Locos are fitted with Deliner couplings so they can rescue failed Pendolinos and Super Voyagers on the West Coast Mainline. The Deliner coupling is housed in the recess in the front of the loco and they have a cover over them when they are not in use.

Thanks, taking Mk 2 coaching stock to Cardiff Canton...still a nice sight on the mainline

There are currently 36 class 31s out there, most of them wont be mainline certified.

@@adamsphotography3499 This one is the only 31 mainline certified...

@@DJBTrains yes but I'm saying that there is 36 class 31s in existence in the Uk

@@soulman3590 1 only on the mainline...

Leroy Clarke class 66

Cheers, Allan...

Thank you, Mike...

The Mk1 blood & custard coaches are being used a barrier vehicles.

Cheers, Jordan nice to see the 37s in BR Green...

Thank you, Kev...

Cheers, Simon for watching...

Thank you...

Spot on mate...

I agree with u there only 30 year old still in good nick shame seeing them going for scrap

@@stephen4912 yeah and they keep older stock for the northern franchise

It's a bloody outrage. EE3's look nice though.

Yes, totally agree with you.

What about the grand central services from Crewe to Blackpool north

Witch clips mate...

@@DJBTrains - the train appears several times, but is the one seen at 12:00.

Norfolk Broadcasting probably there for braking effort. Maybe the HST guys make a bit of money leasing it out for this sort of stuff? I'm guessing the blue DVT is the thing tested here?

Thank you...

The Nokia will be in the jacket pocket of a drivers coat. The only living thing found will be a colony of cockroaches in one of the cabs. The worst damage to the '37 will be lightly scorched paint from whatever nuke dropped nearby. It would take a direct hit to kill a Class 37.

What about Keith Richards & Ozzy Osborne ?

The barrier coaches are used when the locos & coaching stock have different type of couplings.

319s are having diesel engines. None for scrap... Yet.

@@Geeves8612 Oh good..Thanks for info!👍🏽

They can't use slam door Mk III stock. But it beats me why they can't create a Class 43s + Mk IV set ...

@@1chish Exactly....

Scotrail are using HST sets, the MK 3 coaches have been converted to push button doors. If they can do it why not other franchise operators.

@@h2ik373 You miss my point. I was answering why slam door Mk IIIs could not be used and then pointed out there are Mk IVs abundantly available. Now as to your point about the modified Mk IIIs (GWR Castle sets, X Country and Scotrail Inter7city sets) this is costing £ Mns and the project is running a year late. Why? Because a) the corrosion is terrible and b) every carriage was basically hand built and every one is different. Its why Wabtec chose the crappy sliding door system rather than the better plug door system as it was the only one that would fit. (IEP sets use the same dumb system and why there are seats with no windows ... #FacePalm...) Makes me wonder how on earth Chiltern managed to do such a brilliant job with plug doors on their Mk IIIs. Only the UK rail industry would spend £ Mns adapting 40+ year old stock when 30 year old ready built stock is being scrapped. Its utter madness!

@@h2ik373 Exactly

It’s mixed freight so the two Mk1s I think are going to another yard for pick up for a heritage line or something like that maybe..?.

The 2 red & cream coaches are used as barrier vehicles because the Mk3 coaches & the Class 37's are not fitted with the same couplings.

@Jack Torrance In places, yes.

@Jack Torrance Absolutely.

An excellent idea , good on you !

Yes 619s for Cardiff for valley lines etc...

The 315s are on the way to Newport docks for scraping...

We used them for railtours a few years ago, but there are a couple of issues which can reduce their flexibility, including a specific third-rail conflict with one version of BT10 bogies. Add to that the aesthetic authenticity issue that makes them less appealing to some tour operators and they will (sadly) disappear. On top of that, many have started to reach the end of safe service lives (without really expensive overhauls) and that's the final nail in the coffin. Porterbrook were selling Mk III's to New Zealand railways in the late noughties, and plenty of other countries started to look at recycling them, but in most cases they aren't suitable because the interiors are absolutely knackered.

They're knackered

Its a 769 for TfW, now in service

James Keogh it’s the driver giving it some for the fans

James Keogh Maybe to control wheel slip, too much power = burnt rails.

I've heard that it's so as not to burn out the electrics.

Vincit Veritas Severn Tunnel Junction

@@davecook3840 thanks. Will have to go once restrictions go. Where were the test trains etc going when they changed direction there?

Vincit Veritas it’s the UTU Train (Ultrasonic Testing Unit) that looks for Side Guage Cracking and all sorts of good stuff in the Rail. From the looks of it it’s done the Up Tunnel line then probably turned back at Pilning and done the Down Tunnel line. Can’t really tell, not sure if there was a Possession at the time or not, it may not have been working and was only getting itself into position for some working at a later date.

ian jones never seen a class 67 in BR large logo and I think it wouldn’t look very good

Present railway owners would've put swastika on a class 55...

25:50

Steve Cooksley huh! I see it!

Yes, not very nice to see them go, David...

@@DJBTrains Especially as they have life in them. A waste

David Burland “quality “ ??? NO DISABLED ACCESS !!! That’s NOT QUALITY!

Time is up for them now in China...

Even more weirder, overhead lines in Wales. Thought it be too wet for 25kv.lol 😂 P.S I'm from Trewern. !

Take it you mean the Class 315s ? Not underground trains ..... they worked out of Liverpool street to points east of London...

When did society care about homeless, or rational use? It's monnz, friend. Scrapping something means trade - subject of holy in present times. (it doesn't matter if you don't get actual money for this, but you can get *points,* to be able to buy more junk, which you can trade for points later...)

dover one foxtrot if mk1s can knock snout heritage lines and mk2s can be used by paying passengers on the mainline then something bad has happened in keeping the mk3s maintained. I guess there is just enough slop in each coach to make fitting standard parts, like power doors, a challenge. I wonder if Wabtec found some hidden horrors when they upgraded the Scotrail mk3s as well. Maybe opening up sections revealed heavy corrosion?

COACHES THAT ARE 40 YEARS OLD are past it grow up

I agree

Was going to ask the same!

I think it's some sort of test train that they use to check that the route is suitable for the Class 90 to run over it. I've seen another video when that test train with the 2 x class 67's, 1 x class 82 DVT & Class 90 was running through Newport station.
