    A brilliant video. Is amazing how twisting and hilly the route is. Cornwall is my favourite county to visit, home of my ancestors.

    You're video brought back a lot of memories along the route and a lot of changes with the old semaphore signals gone, happy to have seen them at St.Erth Station though, brilliant video 👍.

    Well done Ben - you made Exeter-Plymouth in 50min; must be some 25yr since any non-stop runs were in the passenger timetable. And...you must have been one of the first (if not THE first) to be checked down at the new Grampound Road signal CL5883 1:51:50 since it was added earlier this year. By the way, at 2:11:03 is Treleigh (pronounced TreLAY) R/G footpath crossing. Thanks as ever for the ride 😀

    That is a seriously beautiful route, the view crossing the Tamar into Cornwall is outstanding. Used to travel to Cornwall on holiday trains back in the 80's and spend the holiday running up and down the main line and the branches on a rover ticket. One of those videos that are good at 0.5x speed with the sound off. A shame to rush them !

    So good to get a decent HD view of this maximally scenic route. It always feels to me that the waterside sections to Newton Abbot are saying to the remaining sections into Plymouth "Ha! Follow That!" and the remaining sections shrug and just say "Nah, not even gonna try".

    This is the only part of England that I never have visit yet. BTW this class 43 I was riding them from London to Edingburough when they was new in the 70th and they are still going strong.

    The railway reaches the sea three times, at Dawlish, just before St Austell and finally Penzance.

    Great to see Dawlish at 10:02 ! Never seen Driver's Eye View of it before! Often watch the live webcams, though. They're a useful check on what weather is on it's way to London!

      It's been scrapped, years of sitting on grass took its toll on the chassis. Other bus projects in the pipeline though, we now have a few with some videos hopefully coming soon. The buses under restoration aren't mine so I am not in control of how long it takes.

    Nice video and best view I've seen going over the Royal Albert Bridge. One question- what does a measurement train measure?

    • @dizstruxshon1012
      @dizstruxshon1012 День назад +3

      Track geometry: Uses transducers and accelerometers to measure the up and down movement of the train and the shape and movement of the rail head
      Track faults: Uses a Plain Line Pattern Recognition (PLPR) system to detect faulty track components with lasers and cameras
      Data collection: Can collect around 10 terabytes of data for every 440 miles traveled.

    Hi Ben. Brilliant video on brilliant train in brilliant counties! What I don't understand is, do you have a waiver for route learning?

    • @beneliastrains
      @beneliastrains  21 час назад

      No. I have to sign routes just like everyone else. I don't sign this route.

  • @AndreiTupolev
    @AndreiTupolev 9 часов назад

    The speed limits don't half jump about: 60, 70, 75, 80, 90! and next thing you know, back to 60. You'd be forever on the throttle and brake

    • @enigmagamer112
      @enigmagamer112 9 часов назад

      This is because some of the route skirts the coast to avoid derailing and ending up in the channel, plus for much of the trip between Newton Abbot and Plymouth then through Cornwall, the gradients (hills) are very steep, so all trains heading west have to run at various limits to keep the speed down to a safe level. Hope this helps.
