A driver's eye view of the full train journey on the West Coast Main Line from Glasgow to Manchester via Preston on a Class 350 EMU to Carlisle and a new Class 397 EMU for the rest of the journey. The weather was awful throughout - the conditions going down Shap were truly atrocious.
Although the speeds in this video have been checked for accuracy, they are for guidance only and drivers should always use official documentation to ensure they are aware of all line speeds.
Thanks for watching.
Update: Many thanks to my mate Lewis Evans who has done the times and locations for me!

@tahaali2732 3 года назад

Although I'm not a train driver currently, I can appreciate why the job is more difficult than some people may imagine. These poor weather conditions make it so difficult to notice the colour of signals from a distance! And the high speed and wet rails also make it hard to slow down and stop where necessary. But with the AWS technology fitted on trains, the driver knows in advance what's up ahead. But even then, the job requires hours of intense concentration.

@ChangesOneTim 2 года назад

AWS is just an aid, sounding the bell approaching green signals but sounding a horn approaching signals showing anything else - PLUS permissible/ temporary/ emergency speed warning boards, Stop boards and some level crossing boards. On all but lower-speed lines, Drivers need much more than 200yards/183m (the position of most AWS inductors) in which to see each signal or board, read it correctly and then control the train as necessary. High concentration is everything in poor weather conditions and/or areas with complex track layouts, especially at high speeds.

@MrMoggyman 3 года назад

Good watch Ben. And now imagine doing this same trip on the exposed footplate of a steam locomotive, with the poor fireman shoveling some five tons of coal for this trip, with your front frying while your back is freezing in the lousy rain conditions hindering the view of what would have been at that time semaphore signals. My uncle Percy could have told you. He was a top link driver of Princess Coronation Class and Royal Scot locos on the expresses of the West Coast Main Line Route (Euston to Glasgow, Glasgow to Euston) for the LMS and later BR. Yes, he had been over these tracks many times. It was so good to see them for myself, as I had been at Strathclyde University in Glasgow and travelled them many times. Instead of going around on the Up Styal though after Manchester Piccadilly that takes you to Manchester Airport, uncle Percy would have continued to Stockport, and then down the line from there to Crewe and on to London. Like this driver they did a crew change at Carlisle, and also at Crewe on that route unless they were on a none stop service. My uncle Ted, senior instructor at British Railways, always said that for comfort, and a proper place to brew up and eat your food, the enclosed cab of a diesel was best BUT for the exhilaration of sheer speed and teamwork nothing could beat a steam locomotive. I wonder if the driver of this locomotive has ever been on the footplate of a steam loco? Maybe would not want to! As Percy once noted, when you have a 150 ton kettle with wheels in front of you, and 400 tons behind you, hurtling along at 100 mph, you had better know what you are doing. Too right!

I've just watched this for the second time. I travelled this WCML many times in the late 70s, when the trains were pulled by class 87s. This 350 EMU is very impressive, pulling 110 into head winds and up gradients with ease, even though it's not exactly streamlined. The train seemed to rock slightly when hit by strong crosswinds, or did I imagine that?

On the approach to the Airport platforms from Styal, there's a signal that must be an "L.E.D." model, where the alternate 'aspects' (red and one yellow here) are displayed within the same space, as if to save something (e.g. money): are these 'new' (to me) signals now a common railway feature ? Are they an 'improvement' from the drivers' viewpoint ?

@ChangesOneTim 2 года назад

@@None-zc5vg It's becoming more common as signals are renewed - an advantage that comes for free with LED heads because the light source produces red, yellow and green through the same aperture. Only four-aspect signals need an upper aperture for when they have to show double-yellow. One bonus is that all LED aspects can shine at closest possible to driver eye level. In a multi-lens bulb head, only the red aspect can.

I were on this train, but at a different time, same route too, but we made an unscheduled stop in Bolton. I discovered that the space outside the disabled toilet near the door is a nice place to stay, cause for some reason train sounds make me relax
