"Manchester has It All" Old & New units, Freight & Loco Haulage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2020
- Went to Manchester to film some loco hauled trains and a few freight workings plus get some class 142 before they all go, and catch up with the new units which are starting to take over.
But it rained all day so I decided to go to Buxton to visit a Wetherspoons pub I hadn't been to. Filmed in December.
Last shot is Manchester Piccadilly with the class 142 departing.
DEANSGATE Station is OXFORD ROAD
66778 was working 4M36 Drax-Liverpool not what I put on the Video.
Always a good variety to see in the city of Manchester in these changing times on the railways. An excellent video Mike. Cheers - Allan.
It’s good to see these new trains Allan but they are so slow getting them in to service.
Excellent little film Mike, well done for braving the typical Manchester weather 🤓🤓🤓
Yes must pick a dry day next time and remember which station I had been to Anthony. Chewy Mike.
Old and New units are epic
Than you for your interest mate.
so much variety compared to just a few years ago when all you got at Victoria was Pacers and Sprinters.
Yes it’s a bit different now they are getting the new trains, thank you for taking a look Christopher.
for a good time to the train...
@@josejoaogarcia7841 Thank you.
Nice Video! 05:29 This locomotive looks Awesome and Sounds Good when it set off.
I agree they make some proper loco sounds don’t they, pleased you enjoyed this video mate.
Lots to see there Mike, plenty of unit types and a variety of liveries. Nice to get a couple of freight too, and great to get a Nova 1 and Nova 3 together side by side.
Wasn’t there that long Darren but next time I will pick a dry day and get my station names right.
Great to see loco haulage back.
I like the feller like someone from Corrie back in the old days with his flat cap making a walk-on appearance at 8:37 as Black Douglas returns
Yes I take your point, I didn't see him coming, he just appeared from nowhere. Thanks for your interest AT
I did not know there were so many different class of Engine.Great Video. Kind regards.
Thank you for your comment.
Plenty of colour and variety on that one Mike, the contrast of the old and new showing very well.
It was a ok visit Brian apart from the rain, must go again before May that’s when the class 142s finish. Cheers Mike
Nice one mike of the changing face of trains around Manchester
I don’t mind filming the new northern and TPE stuff Andrew.
Hi Mike great video. Hope the visit to Buxton produced a nice pub for your collection.
David that pub in Buxton was a great old pub, and there was only 5 people in there. Cheers David.
Nice one mate Manchester is very interesting at the moment cheers Steve ..
Yes Steve many new trains it that area, and with Northern in the news a lot. Regards Mike.
Great video mate.
Loads of different locations and lots of different traction types.
Keep the videos like this coming.
Peter from birmingham
Thanks Peter, I will do my best to keep filming from around the network, next video will be tomorrow, "Unseen from December"
A nice video at Plymouth station Devon would be good for the list
Fantastic video, Mike
-Kyle
Thanks for your interest Kyle, stay safe. Mike.
Great video. Going there Tuesday.
Are you well enjoy your day there mate. Thanks for taking a look at me video. Mike
Great job well done
Cheers James for watching my visit to Manchester.
Some nice footage from Manchester Mike....Not been there for years......Cheers...Trevor.''
Cheers Trevor, I would like to go again before all the class 142s go. Regards Mike.
Great video 👍, just thought I’d point out that you labled the first station which was Manchester oxford road as deansgate. 😊
Yes I thought someone might notice that mistake, thanks very much for spotting my mistake, and thanks for watching. Regards Mike.
Great variety of trains. I am often around Manchester, Wigan or Bolton filming. I filmed Black Douglas last year at Wigan when it was still being tested up and down the WCML
Hope you have had some good days out Phillip, with all the new units coming into service I think I will be up your way a lot more.
Beautiful
Thank you for watching my video.
Interesting watch…brings back memories. I used to love going to Buxton and Manchester Victoria looks a lot different to when I first went there. Heavy freight aren’t allowed up the Miles Platting bank I understand without double heading or a banker,
Didn’t know that, but i would like to visit that area again one day, put I would have to do a lot of homework.
Nice Train Video!
That’s great Thomas that you enjoyed my video, thank you.
Nice video Mike!
Thanks Simon good to see some new trains.
Interesting Mike. I haven't been to Manchester Victoria for years and years....looks so much different.
I’ve been told there are less platforms now.
Nice video Mike
Hi Sam thanks for watching. Mike.
Those Mk 5 stock look weird & odd. Lucky shot with the two new trains next to each other, though. Nice view of the Pacer departing and the new train arriving,
Yes I was pleased to have captured that shot AT
Thank you for your interest in this video.
love Oxford Road more than Piccadilly or Victoria. So busy and good variety.. enjoyable viewing
I enjoyed my time apart from the bloody rain.
That train for drax comes through my town around the afternoon
Would be better if they were class 60s, thank you for watching my video.
It's great to the North and NW getting some better passenger rolling stock after all these years. Just hope the schedules improve as well - far to many cancellations and delays still.
I know they need to sort why the trains not just in the north but all over the network.
The class 68 are a great investment but they must keep to the timetable which what I have seen today they are not. Thanks for comment and watching. Cheers Mike.
Deansgate is one eerie place, weird atmosphere.
If you say so.
Manchester victoria looks so different compared to the old station. Luckily the old station is in the train sim world
Think they still have the same amount of platforms, thanks for taking a look.
@@antman09ful1 Prior to 1994, it had 12 platforms. And before the 1970s it had 18.
Thanks mate for putting me right.
3:00 Great video but I don’t think that’s a train from Peak Forest with Drax wagons
Your are right Stephen it was working 4M36, thanks very much for spotting my mistake, will put a update note.
In Tokyo, new train introduced every day fir past 10 years!
Your country is organised.
Makes me think of SCR
Fair enough.
What's the loco at 5.29 please looks and sounds great. Love this video thanks
It’s a class 68 de longing to DRS and is on hire to TPE who are using them on the Liverpool to Scarborough service.
Keep watching this channel as I will be doing a video of these trains on this service soon. Cheers Adam for your interest.
@@antman09ful1 Good news!! Nice to see locos on Trans Pennine services:-)
Nice video,but 6J56 Peak Forest can't load bio-mass and Hope Street can't burn bio-mass. Being a Cemex stone terminal. Think you meant a Liverpool- Drax.
If you had read the description section you would have seen a note about my mistakes on this video.
Thank you very much for having a look at this poplar video and your comment. Cheers Mike.
4:11 what train is that? Looks pretty cool, its design like a fusion of modern and classic train design
It’s a class 68 loco with MK 5 coaches working trains between Liverpool and Scarborough. Thanks for watching.
They accelerate pretty quickly
Yes these new one’s do.
A Yankee here. Someone enlighten me. Why so many diesel-powered passenger trains, even though the tracks are electrified here? I don't recall that petrol prices were cheap when I visited Britain last year.
Well that the Uk Railways for you, thanks for watching.
Wasnt the first frain at oxford road
Yes it was, I made a mistake which I did put in the write up.
Yikes, they're still using Pacer trains?
I believe only to May mate.
It annoys me that TPE stock doesn’t have yellow ends. Dunno why but the stock just looks out of place.
Yes I take your point on this one, wish I had a answer for you, but thank you for taking a look.
It's the buffers and exposed couplings that annoy me. Since they'll only be used if the cab car is defective, why not put them behind a cover like on HSTs?
Not sure where I heard this but a law was changed so British trains no longer have to have yellow ends, you're also right looks more european with out the yellow
The new high intensity LED headlights mean they can be easily seen without the yellow and so the yellow is no longer needed.
Not sure it’s deansgate mate pretty sure it’s Oxford road
Yes you are right Matt, I made a mistake which I put in the description about the video. Cheers for your interest Matt.
@@antman09ful1 alright mate sorry didn't check the description haha
You still using diesel trains in UK? Lol.
Oh yes, l like them.
Rain,rain,rain☹️
It did that day. Thanks for watching.
Pause at 8:11 talk about contrasts
Thanks for watching.
no trains electric ?
It’s not electrified Medionxtr.
@@antman09ful1 Wait until Greta hears abouth that !! She will send evil eyes to Manchester ! :-)
Tipican Manchester rain as normal
I hope next time I will get a dry one, thanks for watching mate.
doesn't have a waterfront like Liverpool :)
That is true Paul. Thanks for watching.
7:44 It's ashame they still use these shitty old DMUs like class 142! 😠
Well the Northern one’s will be gone by May.
@@antman09ful1 and be replaced by what?
The new trains in this video are taking over some of the working that the class 142 done, plus you still have the class 150, 156, 158.
@@antman09ful1 Well, that's a beginning. I hope they replace classes 150,156 and 158, too. The sooner the better. I really hate these old DMUs. 😠
This American regrets that his homeland's railroads almost never name their locomotives, and envies British ideas of locomotive names.
I like proper nameplate but not transfer one’s. Thanks for watching.
still so many diesel engines. kind of pathetic
If that’s you view ok.
