Could you tell me, please whether drivers are required to know the names of all the many foot crossings in order to sign for this route?

How do you get your hands on one of those? Asking for a friend.

put the GET CARTER music on in the background , perfect.

Nice capture, sorry you had so long to get it. 🤓

Poor pigeon 😢

Have you done any more videos on your bus yet

I don't normally watch videos on old vehicle restoration, but as I used to be a bus driver, it was a 'must watch this one. Well done, Ben and his friends

As a boy I lived around Yarnfield and was interested to see the North Staffs line from Stone to Norton Bridge. About where Yarnfield junction is now there used to be a junction where a twin track 2 mile branch lead to Coldmeece station all built at the beginning of WW2. It was a four platform terminus complete with run around loops. It served the Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) Swynnerton for passenger traffic only, during WW2. Workers commuted from around the Potteries in 3 shifts over 24 hours to help fulfill the 15,000 workforce at its peak. It also welcomed personnel from the US Army Airforce who were accommodated at Hostels in the area prior to their postings to various airfields. I used to go there train spotting after school in the early 50's when the traffic was considerably reduced with just three trains departing hauled by a couple of tank engines and one tender engine. The line was closed in the late fifties and I believe no trace of it remains. Richard Melbourne Australia

Really enjoyed it beeps and all

Do you do any trips Leicester ↔️ Hinckley↔️ Nuneaton at all?

Those wipers were useless 😂

Thanks for sharing …….

1:11:04 Oops...

Does "down main" mean down towards our destination? Forgive my ignorance..

I presume you had the Go Pro plugged into a charger as it couldn’t record this length of footage without it.

Like the bird-strike!

Was it my imagination or were some of the signals flashing? I don't know if that's a side effect of the light and/or video recording or whether flashing signals are some specific instructions.

Good video mtu sounds smooth and clean.

Curious about the disused bridge off to the left at 12:51 - any idea what line(s) that used to carry?

You are chasing yellow aspects for quite a way here Ben. There are definetly parts of the WCML that need slow lines to clear bottlenecks and congestion. As ever, another good and enjoyable video.. Thanks.

why isn't a bell ringing in the cab every now and again?

Hi Ben any updated video of the bus I only caught the first video driving from Scotland to Manchester

1:19:11 You got the caption wrong. It's Hell Incarnate.

Do u have video of Manchester Piccadilly to Edinburgh

I'm taking a while guess he as see that you go over the speed limit on the sections of rail network and see its Electrified, that the measurements are too see if the speed limited can be increased on the more modern high speed trains?

Any particular reason for the Thameslink video to be moved to Facebook?

Loved this and felt it was way superior to those put out by Don someone or other.

Thanks :) Were you the driver on this from Paddington to Derby RTC the following day on 1Q20? I watched it pass through Tamworth 👍

HST all the way, don't you love it?

Brilliant video! Ive always wondered what it eould be like to be in the cab of an HST at speed! By the way, was it you I saw through Coventry on the Northampton working and through Canley on the return?

What do the different audio tones mean? I noticed a high pitch beep, a high triple beep, a low short and low long tone, and a medium ping that fades like an airline cabin call. Forgive me if I've got a few of those muddled up, first time watcher of inside a train cab! Really enjoyed it

New measurement train been out 20 years

1:11:05 R.I.P PERCY WOOD PIGEON LEFT A SUICIDE NOTE IN THE NEST FOR MRS WOOD PIGEON

At least Ben told the signaller, for a 2nd time that he needed diverting to survey a different road. He brought the train down to about 60 mph ( double yellow aspect speed) when it was green, so the signaller wouldn't / shouldn't throw the signal back on him. What a switched on driver. Also noticed that Ben has signed for a lot of roads. Well done.

Great idea to paint platform numbers on walls at New Street

I had to turn the sound of it the whistling was annoying me...

Did my older brother train has a train driver at Manchester Piccadilly he was train driver trainer..

Crazy how the electrification just ends as soon as you leave the station

What the eps in corner stand for

Lewisham has acquired some ugly buildings, for sure. Interesting things about freight videos are a) they are obviously loco hauled and b) go to places via interesting and obscure routes.

Thanks Ben for another great video. Keep up the good work.

A chamois leather, some soapy suds, and a bit of elbow grease, and that driver's windscreen could have come up sparkling.

Ben. What is being measured?

Hi Ben, just discovered your channel superb filming! I watch a lot of this type of Cab ride but don’t know why but on his ride you Do really get the sense of speed and the sound of that engine! Whow. Brilliant Eddie🤓

The bird strike got me 😂😂😂😂😂 R.I.P lol

What a pity the Adswood to Cheadle Hulme section isn’t 4 track. A flying junction where the Hazel Grove line joins the down would also improve matters considerably. Great video, my territory as well.

What were those coaches in the sidings on the left just before Stoke? They looked quite modern.

Previously I watched a cab video from 1987 of a class 33 from Waterloo to Salisbury. It was a rough & noisy ride. This HST is like a lullaby in comparison. Is it also because of track improvements?

Again spanking vid Ben, you can feel the concentration levels through the TV INTENSE pleasure to watch keep em coming Cheers IAN

Ben was you the driver on this train
