your comments and ticker tape running below is like sitting the the cab and talking to the driver. You feel part of the crew and not just a passenger. They are greatly appreciated and I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you very much.
That’s exactly what I wanted to achieve Jim. They are the kind of things I’d be telling you if you were sat next to me in the cab. Don’t worry, the captions will be staying 👍
As usual, an interesting and enjoyable trip, Don, although I did miss the ticker's useful commentary and the train details. If nobody else agrees on this, well, that happens quite often and I'll survive. Cheers.
52:44 Hayes & Harlington Station, home to EMI(The Gramophone Co.), no need to mention HMV(His Master's Voice) as that brand was, along with Columbia, EMI's two *Flagship* record labels.
Big Don Coffey, delivering the goods 👍 I made a set of tutorials for Train Sim, if any in the comments are into that kind of thing. Cheers for the great vids Don 😉
Just watched Theale to Bedford TF and there seems to be a missing section from Harpenden to Sundon, North of Luton. Otherwise excellent and interesting.
Any chance of more versions without the ticker tape. For someone who doesn't read fast they are a distraction. Just enjoying the scenery and listening is great.
Yes your comments and observations on your excellent videos are interesting and informative which many people are happy with BUT, sometimes I’m trying to take in the scenery and another bit of info comes up and of course feel compelled to look at it. It would be nice to have the option to sometimes turn them off, or restricted to major events only. I’m being honest
I take your point but isn’t that what this video does. The videos allow access to an otherwise privileged viewpoint and I can do it under the condition it helps charity. I get complaints about adverts and captions like I’ve charged the going rate of £20-£25 for a DVD. RU-vid doesn’t support a with or without captions - the one you’ve commented on doesn’t have them for that very reason.
coming out of theale yard would give most diesel loco anoraks a religious experience, a class 66 Power and an EWS ahhhhhhhh. the sound in my TS22 simulator class 66 is practically identical. aws sounds signal ahead indicator tone, air noise from brakes and if i use the vibration mode on my rail driver controller it really vibrates as well. cracking video as usual will probably watch it a few times.
My work here is done! Haha, thanks Chris, I know it adds a lot and wherever I can I include it. I’ve got to be careful because some yards are private and the owners are very sensitive about safety. There will be more freight so keep an eye open for notifications.
I can see a former c2c Class 387/3 that GWR used to hire which has now been cascaded to Great Northern along with the 3 Class 387/3s from c2c. GWR could of kept the 6 Class 387/3s to work alongside with the Class 387/1 and would of also been used on Reading-Newbury shuttle.
It’s not always straight forward Andrew. These unit types are locked into contracts with the owing companies and what seems to make perfect sense cannot fit into various plans. We lost the 170s at TPE which was frustrating but we couldn’t fit in with the contract proposals.
Yes, it’s a shunt neck. It will fit a loco which allows it to change sidings basically. It also serves as a trap to stop unauthorised movements off the depot.
Don, why not put the "ticker captions" into the closed captions facility. Then your viewers would have the option of watching them, or not, and you would only have to uplpoad one video.
Hi Christopher. I tried it once but I had terrible trouble getting the timing right. I also tried adding them for corrections but it only work if the watcher has them activated.
It depends on the signal spacing which is designed to keep a train away from the one in front. In some locations you can very clearly see the next quite close but in others it could be literally miles away.
That’s it John, it’s a repeat of this video but without the ticker for those that prefer it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TdBcgP2erX4.html
It is a rerun of this video Andy. I tried one for those that prefer not to have them but the feedback has been clear. “The captions must stay!” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TdBcgP2erX4.html
Nooooo! It is your comments that raises your videos skyhigh over all other crap on youtube. Details about the train, interesting facts about places we pass. Never cease with your comments!!
