Bracknell SIREN FAIL :(

  • Throughout all my siren filming, only 75% of visits were successful! Yes, that's one in four visit failures, when the siren did not activate at the usual testing time of 10AM on Monday morning!
    Footage here was filmed in 2015.
    Why did this fail to sound? Here we are relying on technology that's many years old. Someone said the siren was struck by lightning, however, I believe that's just a story as the siren was working fine in 2017 (so I hear) and they wouldn't have spent any money replacing equipment that had been damaged by lightning. Probably either a telephone cable fault, voltage supply failure, something like that. We will never know!
    Watch out for the "FINAL 2018 SIREN TOUR" - see what's remaining and what's gone!

      @@mrmattandmrchay There was a siren that was struck by lightning indeed at about.... 4AM. Luckily it went off in All Clear and not escape. It was disconnected, It kept going off for a duration of 3 hours (Until 7AM). Im surprised the siren survived the lightning strike, Lightning striking a siren usually is a death sentence for the siren.

View.and it was freezing cold waiting for this train since it's aumtum here in Australia .

      Yep! The things we have to do to bring quality youtube videos to fruition! I don't know about you, but I rarely accept "second best" footage and normally go back and refilm lots of things that I'm not happy with! Thanks for the comment

      Hi, already done, visited 11 out of the 13 siren locations. Editing now, but I've not visited any (yet) at 10AM for a new siren sounding video. Where-about in the country (or world?!) do you live?

    • @ajs2120

      mrmattandmrchay I live in Somerset, so not on the doorstep. My friend and I were going to travel up on a bank holiday, well two of those have passed and we've still not done it!
      It really annoys me when they bring maintenance into the reason why these need to go. Fair enough, this video shows that faults do occur. But that is more than likely some sort of communication issue, which could occur with any type of system. Looking at these I would imagine there are some contactors for the induction motor, a couple of solenoids for the plenums/intake flaps and a load of wiring. It's probably the comms side of it that's the problem.

    What's with the sparks on that train?

    • @mrmattandmrchay
      @mrmattandmrchay  5 лет назад +1

      Electrical connection between track and train - high resistance contact, so the electricity has to jump a gap which causes all the sparks - probably spectacular at night!

      @trainzinnit9232 2 года назад

      It could be but sparks on trains can be common I guess it depends on the rails themselves?

    • @cidertom5140
      @cidertom5140 2 года назад

      It might be third rail pick up. It’s like the London Underground.a separate electrified rail in between the wheels has the current flowing to it.
