    Great video. This must be the cleanest 31 I've seen. At 1.47 Those wagon are a bit overgrown.

    Having driven a Class 31 I kind of know what lever does what but I was only limited to 25mph

    • @Wacko2002

      Paul Osborne 25mph is the limit on the Dean Forest Railway so we're not supposed to exceed that (the steam locos do because they don't have a speedometer)

      Agreed, even a decent tarpaulin is better than left to deteriorated in the open air.

    Blimey! Not a lot left of that gronk at 1.18! The 73 could do with a bit of a spruce up too!

    A ride about as slow as when they were used with Mk1 coaches on Leicester to Norwich services. Truly a line that time forgot. Can a 31 actually manage 90 mph?

    1:10 - Driver appears to have green to proceed, before road barriers have started dropping. Erm, is this standard signalling practice?

    • @Wacko2002
      @Wacko2002 4 года назад

      nlo114 yes it is. That is just the way our barriers work. We are allowed to proceed at a white or green light.
