Still the best Signal box around !! Shrewsbury box that is. Good to see them still using Coton Hill yard. Even if I'm 2yrs out of date lol Another cracking vid. Big thumbs up.
You should see the number of engines and empty wagons (cars in US lang) being shipped around during the crises, loads of empty container wagons mixed with loaded ones on regular runs also stored in sidings along the main lines I'm surprised in the US they dont have more details as they still use wooden sleepers (ties) and spikes ? What are the, look like sensors either side of mainline @ 28.56 shot before Fraighliner 66547, 506, 550 and 951 came into view now obscured by the 66's and where was it ? Presumbly most were being moved for service One thing is it possable to add subtitles of where the shots were, what train it was, departure and destination or audio Great video thanks
Also the plan was for a fully electric hub linking from container ports (inland and sea), and HS1 ect to destination like Hams Hsll Fraightliners inland freight terminal This has not been completed for example over head electrification from Reading to Southampton So it is mainly engind by 66's, it's cheaper to run the hole length on diesel than change over to electric on the way. Extra infrastructure costs, engines sitting around waiting for a job, crews ect ext To get round this DRS have brought class 88 which can run on diesel or 25KV overhead lines It's a pity that DC 3rd rail was not included as it would have used the 3rd rail in Southampton to Basingstoke But NR would have to beef up or add substations as HS passenger and freight use a lot of power fro the low voltage DC 3rd rail Theres still Basingstoke to Reading it has concrete sleepers put down in BR days ready for 3rd rail chairs There are plans to 25KV this line as part of the electrified hub when this will happen is in the hands of the gods
swearingkevo aha!! Just waiting for my GoPro to upload the videos to the PC. Could be waiting along Time lol. Seeing as you were there, I shall put a link to your channel in my description of the video!!

Great video thanks
Is that Shrewsbury at 2:39?
Yes.. but that’s not 100% as I’ve never been to Shrewsbury station
Yes it is indeed
0:40 WHy aren't the electrics running on electric?
Because they were being towed dead back to depot by the 66
Also the plan was for a fully electric hub linking from container ports (inland and sea), and HS1 ect to destination like Hams Hsll Fraightliners inland freight terminal

Convoys to where?

No class 42 is mainline registered
@@swearingkevo that's a shame you would think that they would want the attention for the loco to raise funds etc
