    For everyone asking if the guy walking his dog at 0:33 is trespassing.... no, it is a footpath crossing. You can just make out the crossing deck and the thing holding it in place in the four foot of the right hand track. Perhaps the biggest giveaway is the round "W" sign by the signal, which is a whistle board, instructing train drivers to sound the horn to warn any users of the crossing

    Several years I was going from one town to the other (cannot remember where and when) in England. There were three different companies running the same route. One company had "regular" trains, one had old cars that looked like something from the 30's/40's, and then there was the familiar red/yellow Virgin trains. Modern, luxury, newspaper etc. Guess which one I choose... 😉😄 Same route, same price...

    I'm curious if there's any reason for the differences in the use of train horns between the UK and North America. Is it simply because Brits are more aware of trains and are more likely to be careful? If this was the U.S., most of them would be blasting their horns through these stations.

    To show off the train speed more clearly another time, you need to try using the natural human eye focal length. Your telephoto settings make the trains look like they nearly stopped. Through a 2000mm telephoto one can amost "stop" a fighter jet in a mach 0.9 aproach.

    Living in China as I have for a few years now, these don't appear to be that fast. What kind of speeds are they doing? If I'm at one of the smaller, satellite stations in China the trains pass through at 300kph+ ... quite a sight. Also amazing even at these speeds the rails are all built at ground level, allowing the man & his dog to wander across the line. In China they're all built on elevated viaducts, smaller footprint on the land & inaccessible to pedestrians!
