D6150 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 A couple of unidentified Colas Rail class 37's top-and-tail the Network Rail inspection train through Bucksburn on the way back to Inverness on 13/06/21. This was rescheduled from 12/06, after the train stopped at Inverness with a mechanical issue. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggie in the east Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 On 11/06/2021 at 09:21, RusselBridge2017 said: Interesting little addition to our day yesterday in Cheltenham, a passenger train visit to out southbound passing loop. Think the lucky punters visited the Pontrailus wood yard too on the way to Hereford? Mind it nearly did not happen as Gloucester box seemed to route train straight on to start with. The train ground to a halt at the signal before. I guess the drive saw he did not have the feather to enter the sidings. He spent five minutes in discussions before the point changed. Guess the signalled did not understand that passengers wanted to spend 25 minutes in a sidings, LOL? The reason it was stood for 5 minutes is probably because there will be a safety timer on the selected route on the panel in the signal box. If the train has been 'wrong routed', the signaller must make sure the driver has come to a stand, ask permission to take the route back putting the signal back to a red aspect and then the timer kicks in for the route to time out before the route dies out and the correct route can be set. Timers are generally 30 seconds upto 4mins depending on area, technology and line speeds. Id say the timer was 3mins and the phone call/chitchat was 2 mins.

hmrspaul Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Victorious has been based in the parcels sidings at York station for weeks now; has the occasional runs out - I assume for training or route learning. https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brclass37/e8f635ba2 on 1 May 2021 It is easily seen on the free to see Railcam for York station.

And here it is a short while later at Bradley Junction, Huddersfield with Direct Rail Services 37423 'Spirit of the Lakes' leading 1Z41 onto the chord which leads to Bradley Wood Junction on the Calder Valley line, where the rail tour was booked to run towards Manchester... ...by this point however, the rail tour was +77 minutes and it would seem as though a revised route had been put in place as, after a few minutes a reversal took place. The rail tour omitting the run along the Calder Valley line, but headed back through Huddersfield to go via the Standedge Tunnel and Stalybridge, picking up its booked route at Philips Park South Junction, Manchester. After reversal, DRS 37422 restarts and heads back towards Bradley Junction. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted July 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2021 I wondered how close the unit had been to spoiling the fun...... ( For everyone that doesn't know, the station is just this side of the overbridge. ) Cheers, Phil. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
