South West Train struggles away from Farncombe at 7am Monday morning , the arcing to the live rail creating an awesome lightshow of sparks and flashes to be beholdened.

Great video... I expect his in cab computer screen was coming up with all kinds of weird & wonderful faults in that snow. Never a micro-chip to be seen in the old slammers. I heard - on the grapevine - that a few of these Desiro units caught fire due to snow getting into the working bits.

Most likely the cab would show warnings for wheelslip and the occasional loss of line voltage. Nothing new to the driver, the way they handle it is by being gentler on the throttle. As you saw them doing in this video.

Pretty cool stuff greenkougar.I'm a Canadian living over here in the UK since 2002. In Canada that snow would be considered Light to Moderate snow and nothing to be too concerned with. Your video is very interesting and something I will show my family back home.Take care and all the best.

Remember this day, leaving New Street with no snow on the ground and seeing BA's long haul fleet at BHX suggested it was bad in London. Managed to get a Piccadilly Line train to Hammersmith then having to walk to work to Chiswick. It had pretty much cleared up by the evening.

Just to clarify this is aClass 444 Ways to tell the difference: Other than the obvious of 444's painted white 450's painted blue, there are other obvious signs. The Class 450 is a normal EMU. So standard length coaches, 2 double doors about 1/3'd of the way down the coaches, 4 coaches per unit, max units 3 (12 coach maximum). The Class 444 is an Express EMU. Longer coaches (About 120% standard size) single doors at each end, 5 coaches per unit, max units 2 (10 coach maximum). Hope this helps.

@tpvalley - the contact shoes on EMUs are designed only for current collection. Network Rail's MPVs and de-icer trains have special shoes which are designed to scrape ice off and apply an anti-freezing solution. Hope that helps!

@northlanderdude Think you guys are confusing Traction and wheelslip. In rail terms , loss of traction isnt loss of grip but a loss in motor output. Low/poor rail adhesion is the term used to explain loss of grip to the rail. So loss of traction in this case would mean poor acceleration to to the motors being inhibited by the Lims or by the MCBs tripping in and out.

The sparks are simply from the making and breaking of contact between the shoe and the juice rail because of the snow. It's nothing out of the ordinary and used to happen all the time, giving huge flashes which I occasionally mistook for lightning even. Not "awesome" to someone of my age (70), then, but a well-produced vid, so thanks.

@@hingo078 Thank you! I'm now 78, alive and well, have had prostate cancer and been cured of it, quite a process. The electric trains seem to make much fewer sparks than they used to maybe because of some change in circuitry in the motors. Or maybe there's less snow now.

@metadyneman
@metadyneman 15 лет назад
I suppose it could be possible but I doubt it would "leak" current sufficiently to adversely affect the traction voltage. Pure water on it's own is not a brilliant conductor, it's usually what is contained in the water which makes it a good conductor.

This video came up on my recommendations today. As no one has answered your question. The Southern part of England was the first area to run electric trains on main lines. Starting in the 1920s. They chose to use the 3rd rail system. Following on from, the worlds first electric railway that used the 3rd rail. The Volks Electric Railway. In Brighton on the south coast. Opened in 1883. It is still running as a museum with some carriages dating back to 1901. The London underground also used conductor rails starting in the 1890s. Frost is the biggest problem causing ice on the top of the rail. Stopping the pick up shoe contacting properly. They run special de-icing trains. But if there is heavy rain it washes the de-icing fluid off the rail. There are thousands of miles of track with the 3rd rail. The cost of converting everything to pantograph system is too expensive. Other parts of the country where electrification started later it is the pantograph system. The Docklands Light Railway in London. Started in the 1980s was also built with 3rd rail. But that was designed so the current is picked up from underneath the 3rd rail. Giving less problems and added safety. Also fully automated, without drivers. 25 miles of track with 6 branches and 45 stations.
