I nearly spat my tea out at some of the innuendo whilst you were waiting for it to offload, utter filth. Brilliant!
……I have no idea what you mean……😉
Chris seemed oblivious to all the innuendo.
Nixy hides it well. Part of the joke.
@@alexgrundon2346I think you base it on that offshoot of the tube which used to be run by Humph,
We’re basically naughty kids
A great episode. The driver of the low loader did an amazing job reversing down a narrow road and through that width restriction.
And great to see how it was unloaded and placed onto tracks.
Chris was talking about the trailer that the coach was sitting on - many many years ago I was involved in heavy lifting - one company had a hover trailer basically a trailer with a skirt and a large fan it was used to take heavy loads across weak bridges it would hover across
Careful edging and soft docking is very important here! Otherwise the whole load could be damaged or lost. (I saw your ;) Alex!) Great job team, and I cannot wait for the extra Patreon naughtiness!
Tonight!!!
And all it needs is a cheeky wink.
An interesting hangout to see the carriage go over to IOW. In the steam days railway stock would go over by Bembridge or to dock on the River Medina.
Great to see the island now has it's full compliment of new old stock
I will be visiting to have a ride shortly and will definitely go for some fish pie at The spyglass
Thanks all see you next time.
Another great episode guys. An exciting Saturday evening again with lots of edging and docking. 😁
You do know. I love the fact you spotted it 😉
I was thinking did Alex just say that? Then the cheeky wink confirmed it!
I can’t put into words how much personal joy i get from a dock pic.
An episode of innuendo bingo again 😁
If you come up to Manchester it was, of course, the first place the public could ride a DLR train. When the local council here was trying to sell the idea of a tram network, they borrowed one of the DLR trains on it's way to London, stuck a pantograph on it, and ran it up a now closed section of rail line in the suburbs. Much love for your awesome shows :)
Love detail like this. Thank you so much! ❤️
I’ve only just watched this as I couldn’t watch yesterday. Well done team. This was the best episode yet IMHO. I’d love to go to the IOW again. I competely missed the 483s. Last time was in the mid 1980s when the even older trains were in service.
You must go, David - you’ll love it! Those new trains are sensational and the IOW is so sweet.
Hi team, thank you for another super show, can not wait to ride these 484's soon, it will bring back lots of great times of traveling on these wonderful trains 💖
Greetings from Gothenburg. Sweden. Thanks for another wonderful episode. Once again a smorgasbord ( that’s how you spell it Alex ) of thinly disguised smut. Even got another dock pic. Wonderful. And I hope your helmet wasn’t blown off.
I can spell “thinly disguised smut” if that helps! Thanks for being part of our smutty journey x
Saw the 1938 stock arrive at Fratton goods yard in 1965 when they were being shipped to the IOW.
Nope, it was the 1923 stock that went to the IOW in 1965. The 1938 stock didn't go to the IOW until 1989.
Another great episode and this time very 'Ooh Matron' in places as well... Thank you!
😉
Watching from the Isle of Wight, great video!
❤️
This Is going to sound very bizarre but while I was watching this video with All the strong winds I couldn't help myself singing "Let's go fly a kite up to the highest Height! let's go fly a kite and send it soaring!" I also really felt sorry for Siddy sea sickness is very unpleasant but apart from that another incredible video makes wish I was back on the Isle of Wight again and the Class 484s are truly incredible thank you for another amazing video I always appreciate how much hard work goes into every single one xx
Siddy’s a robust girl. She was ok in the end. Shame she missed the Picnix on the way home
@@alexgrundon2346 that's good to hear 🙂 and you will all need to have a special Picnic next time for her
Another great episode of the hangouts. I will certainly have a ride on the Island line when I visit the Isle of Wight in May.
A lot of heritage railways also use low loader wagons to move their locomotives and rolling stock around the country because it’s cheaper than sending them by rail.
There’s a good tv programme on the Yesterday channel called Train Truckers which covers this subject
Keep up the good work 👍
I have been re-watching your increasingly large back catalogue of episodes and was struck at how excited you were when you and sam were estimating total views. It was just over 100,000 about a year ago. Do you know how many views you now have ? I count 519,000 with the previous class 484 episode being the highest. There is something magic about seeing old become new like this. Over 27000 views seems to agree. Please keep going. Lots of future left to explore.
❤️
Great Episode, Thank you all.
Really needed the belly laugh at all the innuendo, after a shoddy Monday - thanks guys, as a new subscriber I’m off to find more smut in the back catalog 🤣
I roared when I read your comments …thank you so much. Although I have no idea what you mean about the double entendres. I think they’re just entendres…. Patreons see the outtakes too. They’re in a class of their own.
Hi gang, something in the news recently about Vivarail leasing some old D78’s for use in west London on some services, be looking forward to riding them, will also look forward to watching this fine video soon.
Where can I find that?
Edit: Chris Nix tells me Twitter - whose tweet is it?
Brilliant episode
Thank you for another wonderful episode. I have always wanted to know how trains get put back in the tracks once they’ve arrived at their location.
I found your channel by chance, and wow I am hooked, love the chemistry and banter between you all. The history and facts are amazing and great to see what's behind closed doors, off limits and even plain sight at these stations fascinating your learn something new everyday.
Been binge watching all the videos and catching up and cant wait for the next one, keep them coming looking forward to more and your hard work and dedication to your channel..
Jay thank you so much. We’re a really tight bunch of friends so I’m glad you enjoy the warmth and stay for the facts. Delighted to have you along for the ride x
Really great episode!
Chris you think the Solent is rough. My wife and I crossed over to Orkney just before the storm last Nov/Dec. That's across the Pentland Firth during the winter,
You should go over to the states to see the 230 we have sent over there
Also the battery train cop26 class 230 that will be being used in London later in the year
Take us there, Tim!!!!
@@alexgrundon2346 if I could, I would. Have you been to Bletchley to see the 230?
We’re toying with doing an episode at some point showcasing all the trains. A kinda “D Stock…where are they now?”
@@alexgrundon2346 that would be good, I’m sure Vivarail would be interested in you doing this.
You three are soooo.... naughty😂❤
We have the 230 class diesel variant of the 484 on the Bedford to Bletchley line .
Not any more! I hope you get your trains back soon., I doubt they'll be the Class 230's though.
You need to go to Alderney. I think they've got an old underground train there???
Yea an old Northern line train from 1959.
@@alexgrundon2346 And that replaced a 1938 Stock unit!
Excellent video gang, nice paint job on the old D78, would like you all create a history of the old LU line Northern City line - Moorgate to Finsbury Park and the former depot site at Drayton Park, those 1938 trains were in use there up to transfer to BR in 1975 and the Moorgate disaster before the Converstion, I had been those two former northbound tunnels at Drayton Park, the LT Museum has some excellent photos, saw an impressive RUclips video showing the layout, interested to learn about the 1938 stock transfer over the ramp about the whats now mainline trains to Finsbury Park, be interesting if you could do such a documentary for me 😀.
Please see my reply to your other comment.
@@RWL2012 Couldn’t understand your other comment?.
YES!
@@alexgrundon2346 You might be able to get some library footage of Drayton Park, saw two videos on RUclips, one of the deport being stripped, mainly tracks being removed while a 313 EMU in Network South East livery climbed the ramp up to Finsbury Park, Drayton Park was one of my local stations, was a frequent user of TESCO around the corner 👍.
Hasn’t one of the other tube enthusiasts done a video on that already? If they’ve done it there’s less reason for us to.
BTS stands for "behind the scenes"
Two questions 1) how did the trains move from underground depot to depot where they were changed and then to Hampshire could they travel on normal railway or did they have to use lorry? 2) I noticed that the second unit to arrive was on the trailer the same way round as the first, but surely that would mean when it came off the trailer on to the tracks it be facing the wrong way and could not couple up to the first unit?
YOU CLEVER BOY! Car 2 was loaded onto the lorry the wrong way round so a clever bit of driving sorted the problem. One was reversed in. One went in forwards. But very well spotted !
"Do Not Climb The Mast" I hope that you didn't!
It is not a tube train .it is sub surface train therefore an underground train.
I thought you would have disguised the exposure issues, waiting for the train to come off the ferry, by cutting away to the off ramp whenever the image of you three went dark.
Nah. It was all about the wit in that section. Cut it too much and you lose the gags
@@alexgrundon2346 You get that I wasn't suggesting chopping up the audio, instead just do more of the cutaways that were already being done. As for the humour, I kind of tuned out because of the distracting image exposure.
I've really only made a comment about it because your production values are usually spot-on, and this seemed to not be up to your usual high standards.
Anyway, I'll watch again with my eyes closed so I can appreciate the wit.
oh alex i love you BTS means behind the scenes
not a Korean boy band? 🤣🤣🤣
Are the trains specifically coated against salt erosion ?
Good question. They’ve thought of everything so I expect so!
I suppose the fact they’re aluminium bodied should help with corrosion issues?
Alex, Fosters. We can't stand the muck. Much more sold overseas with a different recipe. 🏳🌈
