I last travelled on IOW railways in 1954 of course it had real steam locomotives. While travelling to Ventnor the staff had to stop the train at one point because cattle had strayed on to the track.
Great footage of a start of a new chapter in Isle of Wight railways. I would be great if the rest of the network that was shut down, reopened. Then all residents could take advantage of these Viva rail reworked units.
Vicky Newnham. The weight of the trailer and load is almost irrelevant, it's the length of the trailer. The longer the trailer, the easier it is, but you need more room to do it in. Those tiny 'household trailers' from Halfords are easier to reverse if you unhitch them and move them by hand, otherwise they are a nightmare. I'd love to take a shot at reversing something like that. Enjoy your new trains and I'm glad to see the old 1938 stock is going to a good home.
I’m happy that the D stick is being reused ,it’s passed my home in west London on the district line for almost 35 years and remember when it was on test it rode better than the S stick we have now and still looks modern I hope the serve you well and SWR look after them ,nice to see the island getting its railway upgraded maybe extended one day to other parts that were closed
As ever ex lu stock for the island. This time d-stock from the district and circle. Rushed out because the then mayor thought the new s-stock could be run driverless. Could've seen many more years service on lu
Are the refurbished London Underground D78 stock from the 1938 powered by the 3rd rail DC or as other Vivarail D types using their think Transit diesel engines? Used to use the IOW ferry the train to Shanklin to visit a pcb company near the station in the 1990's for BSI (UL). Thanks for the video.
Class 230 are the Vivarail DMUs. The West Midlands Trains units 230 003-005 on the Marston Vale line being diesel electric multiple units The Transport for Wales 230s 230 006-010 are diesel/battery electric hybrid multiple units for the Bidston (where they share the station with Merseyrail 3rd rail 507s & 8s) to Wrexham line. The 484s are EMUs just like previous IOW stock as the entire line is electrified.
Great video, thanks. Be nice when these are up and running. Would be so much better to have the original video sound, would complete the working atmosphere, rather than that music.
I might have ridden one of these along the District Line many years ago. Also, regarding the music, there is something about the first track that goes against the grain - I think it's the way the notes cut in and out, but I'm no music expert and people have different tastes in music.
Please dont vandalise these lovely trains! I just hope the youngsters on the island dont destroy something that is clearly needed to tidy up the island
There are no current steam engines on the island. The new trains’ predecessors are refurbished London Underground 1938 (maybe ‘62 actually) deep level tube stock. They are lower and narrower than these, which are extensively refurbished ex London Underground 1992 ‘D’ sub-surface line stock, almost the same size as ordinary standard gauge BR stock. All of the island’s stations have had to have new, higher level platforms constructed to accommodate them.
@@Twittler1 Thank you for the information. I was under the impression steam engines were only used as each time I've seem picture of IOM railways, its pictures of steam engines
Interesting footage there. Don't know that the inclusion of still frames enhanced it in any way. But that soundtrack. Eugh! Three chords and thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, and on and on and on and on …! Get the sound level down to about half of what it was and that would be an improvement. Even lower would be better.
@@photographyrue ok no worries just thought it may be best to let the natural sounds in more. We will of course still watch the video, we are all interested in this historical footage, we don't need the music to stay interested if I may say so, as a constructive opinion :)
Wonder how long it will take for some moron to daub it in stupidity. Should be a law against it. They look amazing hope they stay like that. Thanks for the video. Mick🇬🇧
Thank you glad you liked the Video especially as a old tube driver it’s interning for you :) I am still experimenting so will try different ways but as always feedback is definitely welcome :) Thank you
Absolutely fascinating to this borne and raised islander - now exiled on the mainland. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you glad you like the video :)
Historic that mate keep the footage thanks for sharing Railway Broadcast
Thank you for your comment & glad you like the video

Great video to watch - with the sound off!
Thank you glad you liked my video, sorry to hear you didn’t like the music
Look at the way he reversing that heavy load,magic

AMAZING driving skills!
Nice video but spoilt by the music.
Thank you glad you like the video, shame you didn’t like the music I add it to help the flow of the video but thank you for the feedback :)
Brilliant thank you

Thank you hopefully you can visit and use them one day :)
The new trains look amazing well done from New Zealand
Thank you glad you like the video and hello from the UK :)
@@photographyrue Hi Rue I lived on the island for many I took the old trains often.
That’s brilliant so you have a lot of history with them :)
Where did you live ?
@@photographyrue I used to live in Newport, Lake loved the island
Lovely places :)
Awesome and well made video! So how many 484s are on the Island now?
Thank you, there are currently 2

Thank you glad you like the video, I believe these are Battery operated with the use of the 3rd rail when the batteries are running low
Class 230 are the Vivarail DMUs.

@@photographyrue The music... what were you thinking of?!
It’s music that is available on my editing software I only have limited availability but I am looking to change this :)
First class video as always...Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for your comment!! :)
Good to see the second to last 484 delivered
That pallet at 6:21 could have been moved for more room!
Are those single panel doors? Or maybe temporary? Which direction do they open?
I’m not sure on the answers unfortunately sorry
I might have ridden one of these along the District Line many years ago.

is there more comeing?
Yes soon :)
Please dont vandalise these lovely trains! I just hope the youngsters on the island dont destroy something that is clearly needed to tidy up the island
No chance of that,theres lots of brain dead delinquents on the island that are as thick as 💩
Will this be replacing the current steam engines on the island?

@@username9175 This is the Isle Of Wight, across the Solent from Southampton and Portsmouth. The IoM is over 200 miles north.

Are these Ex-District Line trains?
Yes I believe they are :)
A new fly over that's new
?
That was filmed at yer mouth I'use to go the Isle of Wight for years and no fly over a y. Mouth
Where was it
It’s Fishbourne at the ferry terminal
Great footage but is there a reason for the rubbish royalty free music booming over every video?
Thank you glad you like the video, sorry to hear you don’t like the music I am experimenting with the videos and music
@@photographyrue ok no worries just thought it may be best to let the natural sounds in more. We will of course still watch the video, we are all interested in this historical footage, we don't need the music to stay interested if I may say so, as a constructive opinion :)
No that’s good thank you for your feedback I can use that information in my next video, I want the best for my viewers
Umm, you are allowed to turn off the sound on your side.
@@firesurfer umm there was no need to post a sarcastic comment on constructive advice. Was there such a necessity that you just had to comment 😐🤣
Wonder how long it will take for some moron to daub it in stupidity. Should be a law against it. They look amazing hope they stay like that. Thanks for the video. Mick🇬🇧
Thank you for your comment, glad you like my video :)
Yes unfortunately some people ruin such beautiful trains
Great video but watch it all on mute because of the music.
Thank you glad you like the video but sorry to hear you didn’t like the music
Why the stupid music (if you can call it that)?
Thank you for your comment, I like to add music to my videos to help the video flow!
I am limited to my options at the moment.
Music is okay. I wonder when these will be repainted into British Rail colours?
Thank you for your comment, I am not sure if they will be repainted in these colours but will be interesting to see
sorry i thoutht was yarnmonth
That’s ok, no this is Fishbourne terminal with the new upper loading ramp
Who chose the noise music...
Me and sorry you didn’t like it, can I ask what you didn’t like about it ?
@@photographyrue just irritating..the vid was good...could be me just being an old fart...all the best from an old tube driver...
Thank you glad you liked the Video especially as a old tube driver it’s interning for you :)
I am still experimenting so will try different ways but as always feedback is definitely welcome :)
Thank you
Great video. Pity the trains have that ugly livery
Thank you, glad you like the video :)
Nice video minus the annoying music.
Thank you glad you like my video and sorry to hear you didn’t like the music
Ruined by music
Sorry to hear you didn’t like the music but I hope you enjoyed the video
Nice truck Nice bit of railway kit.... Frigging absolute shite music
Cut the STUPID music out, spoils the good video
