brings back memories of my early career with British Rail. The Driver towards the end of the film driving between London Bridge and Cannon Street is a guy called Peter Jupp, he was for many years until his retirement based at Charing Cross Drivers depot and drove all over the South East London and Kent network.
I love those old British (instruction) videos, they got so special and nice atmosphere. Thank you for uploading them! A railway fan from Czech Republic.
l once did a brake test on a 4 car VEP coupled on to an 8 Car VEP !! I was in the front cab of the rear unit . Buzzed up the Driver for an EPB test , he does it I see the EPB gauges move . EPB test done . l buzz him to do the auto brake test . He says Go head . I did it and he said "No nothing happened here .Do it again !" i do same thing again " Nothing this end. No indication on the Auto !". The shunter hadn't opened the cocks between the two units when coupling the two units pipes together ! Had the Driver gone out on Auto Brake the back unit would have been a swinger !!! UNBRAKED !! So glad l insisted on a brake test that day and always did from that day onwards !! Alot of Drivers tried to rush you on empties " oh we don't need a Brake test !" Especially late a night ! I had a big row with a Driver one night he said " we don't need bother with brake test" on a 12 car ECS ..I said yes we are having a brake test !
Curious why there were stop do not proceed signs on two platforms with trains berthed lol Nice to see a rare glimpse of Cannon St's signal box on the left, the whole triangle from Borough Market to the spur off to Blackfriars and to Cannon St must have been an absolute nightmare to signal and some of those points were pretty exotic on the approaches into Cannon Street.
Stuart Grant, one of the guys looking a videos of the interiorel vibration noise heard on a Southern Region electric multiple unit train used for express services should be watching this video. The Westinghouse DH25 compressor I believe is sounded when the air pressure is released.
When you first started driving with a hand held DSD, your natural reaction was press to heavily on it, making your wrist ache. After a couple of weeks you learnt just how much pressure was needed, and it wasn't a lot, the drawback being if you went over a bump in the track, the bounce "lifted" your hand up and released the pressure on the DSD, so there was a seconds delay before the brakes applied, so you had time to press the DSD back down again. I hope that's helpful.

My late father was still working the platforms panel on the SE side of London Bridge power box.

Interesting to see the low PSI's over there, here in the US Freight Trains run 90, and Passenger Trains run 110.
well this is a little outdated
5 bar/72.5 psi is standard for all trains throughout Europe.

Very interesting, Shatsoi'sh Shchoghld Of Shoideghsh.
You get some interesting films mate. Good one thanks.

So EP stands for Electro Pneumatic.
Very helpful. wHeN trying to explain how the EP and auto air brake works. Part time kindly uncle to Thumper 205205, and CIG 1498
This video is NOT about electromagnetic breaking at all. Please change the title to Electropneumatic breaking
Stousn sorry! I never noticed that lol
Haha, I thought so :D
That's Selhurst Yard at the begining.
Did it not hurt your hand to keep that pressure on all the time?
