www.video125.co.uk is the site to order the DVD of this fascinating Driver's eye view. Running from Dingwall all the way to both Thurso and Wick our train runs Invergordon, Lairg, Helmsdale, Forsinard and Georgmas Junction, Britain's most northerly junction. There can be fewer more remote lines in the UK.

Now this is my favourite era of the Far north and Kyle Lines in the 1990s, Class 156 Super Sprinters from Inverness to Wick, Thurso and Kyle. This is the rolling stock for this route, I wouldn't drive a Class 158 on these routes because their much heavier than Class 156, Can't do the top speed of a Class 158 on these lines because speed limits are much lower between 10 to 40mph and they Class 158 are not design for these routes at all, they are design to do long distance express services

*they're much - it's bad enough seeing people put 'there' instead!

This was the first Driver's Eye View I saw when I was a kid and I have found this one the best DEV as because it is going to the Far North😄 the journey itself feels like it is so long that you heading for the end of the earth.🌍 Brilliant and enjoyable.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is it fair to say that the RETB signaling was happened upon by chance and developed further? Initially as in interim measure but was better than expected?

@ChangesOneTim 5 лет назад

RETB in fact arose from the BR Research project which invented Solid State Interlocking (SSI). In (I think) 1982/3, winter blizzards brought down several miles of pole route along the Far North which knocked out the old electric token signalling system. Fortunately development of SSI, along with train/signalbox radio known as NRN, was sufficiently advanced at that time and engineers cunningly combined elements of SSI and NRN to create what became RETB. It was a life-saver for lines like this, which otherwise faced the real prospect of closure through crippling ops costs and signalling renewals.

I remember this video. It was great and I really enjoyed it. One of the first I sent away for. Love the journey and like to go up to Thurso for the day once a year. Charlie, Aberdeen

+charlie chats Hello Charlie, would you like some sausages? £3.50 a pound.

Does anyone know where RETB signalling starts on the line? It’s not Inverness station itself because that is signalled with regular colour lights, so it must be somewhere between Inverness and Beauly. But where specifically?

@limeyfox Месяц назад

I believe the token is obtained at/on departure from Inverness. The colour light signalling ends at the Caledonian canal swing bridge about a mile from Rose St Jn.
